About the Item

Rudolph Ackermann (1764-1831) Crystal Palace - View from The North Bank of the Serpentine Tinted Lithograph 31 x 46 cm A nineteenth-century view of Crystal Palace from the north bank of the Serpentine. This unique edition intriguingly captures the stir of movement across the bustling riverside promenade, with well-dressed ladies, horse-drawn carriages and chivalrous gentleman at the fore. Rudolph Ackermann was an Anglo-German bookseller, inventor, lithographer, publisher and businessman. In 1795 he established a print-shop and drawing-school at 96 Strand. Here, Ackermann set up a lithographic press and began a trade in prints. He later began to manufacture colours and thick carton paper for landscape and miniature painters. Within three years the premises had become too small and he moved to 101 Strand, in his own words "four doors nearer to Somerset House", the seat of the Royal Academy of Arts. Between 1797 and 1800 Ackermann rapidly developed his print and book publishing business, encompassing many different genres including topography, caricature, portraits, transparencies and decorative prints.
