Charming Engraving of Kew Bridge over the River Thames, 1835
About the Item
This steel engraving is a charming portrayal of Kew Bridge over the River Thames, as visualized by the artist J. Tingle after an original by William Tombleson, dating back to around 1833. The image is steeped in tranquility, capturing the essence of a serene day by the river, with the bridge's graceful arches providing a stately backdrop. Leisurely figures can be seen in the foreground, possibly enjoying the riverside or engaging in fishing, while small boats navigate the calm waters.
The decorative border that frames the scene is ornate and florid, typical of the embellishments favored in the early Victorian era, adding a layer of elegance to the print. Such engravings were not merely illustrations but also objects of beauty, intended to be collected and admired.
William Tombleson, recognized for his 'Views of the Thames and Medway,' had a keen eye for capturing the interplay of architecture and nature, as well as the daily activities of people interacting with these spaces. His works, along with those of his contemporaries, are valuable not only as pieces of art but also as historical records, offering insight into the landscapes and lifestyles of 19th-century England. The meticulous detail and delicate shading techniques employed in this engraving would make it a noteworthy addition to any collection focused on British topographical or historical prints.

- Antique 1755 Copperplate Engraving Westminster Bridge Lambeth Survey of LondonLocated in Dayton, OHAntique hand colored riverscape / landscape copperplate engraving based on a painting by Jacob Maurer and engraved by Paul Fourdrinier - A View of Westminster Bridge from Lambeth, published according to Act of Parliament 1754 for Stowe’s Survey of London. BIO: Paul Fourdrinier sometimes referred to as Peter or Pierre Fourdrinier, was an 18th Century engraver in England. Paul Fourdrinier, engraver and printseller, was born on 20 December 1698 in Groningen in the Netherlands, the son of Jacques Fourdrinier and his wife, Jeanne Theroude, Huguenot refugees from Dieppe, Normandy. He was a pupil of Bernard Picart at Amsterdam for six years, and came to England in 1720. He was employed in engraving portraits and book illustrations. He also engraved two works by Peter Monamy, marine paintings displayed in Vauxhall Gardens. The engravings were published in 1743, but may have been executed earlier. Starting in 1742 Fourdrinier produced a series of books consisting of numerous folding charts showing "The Succession of Colonels to all his Majesties Land Forces from their Rise to 1742", as well as many other details of British military and naval personnel. The 2004 edition of the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography makes it clear that in the 19th century edition of the Dictionary of National Biography this engraver's works and career were assigned to two individuals, Peter (or Pierre) and Paul Fourdrinier. Peter/Pierre is now seen to be a fictitious individual resulting from an accidental misnaming of Paul. Paul Fourdrinier is mentioned as the engraver of some of the works listed above, and he has been identified with the Paul Fourdrinier who was of the parish of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, married to Susanna Grolleau, and who died in January or February 1758. The couple had at least five children, including a son Henry Fourdrinier, whose daughter, or granddaughter, Jemima Fourdrinier was the mother of Cardinal John Henry Newman...Category
