About the Item

An engraving titled "Sandwich" by the British artist William Henry Bartlett, engraved by E. Challis in 1841. It depicts a view of the town of Sandwich in Kent, which is one of the Cinque Ports in the United Kingdom. Bartlett was known for his detailed and picturesque illustrations of topography, many of which were rendered into steel engravings. William Henry Bartlett was an accomplished artist and illustrator, born in Kentish Town, London in 1809. He is recognized for his contributions to the illustration of topography and for his extensive travels, which allowed him to capture a variety of landscapes and urban scenes. Throughout his career, he visited many places, including Britain, the Balkans, the Middle East, and North America, producing a substantial body of work that was highly regarded for its attention to detail and composition. Bartlett’s work, including this engraving of Sandwich, was characterized by his ability to capture the essence of the scenes before him, often including elements of the past such as ruins, churches, abbeys, cathedrals, and castles. His engravings were published in various travel books and were widely copied by other artists. Unfortunately, Bartlett died in 1854 from fever aboard a French ship off the coast of Malta. This particular image would likely appeal to those interested in British history, architecture, and landscape art from the 19th century. The detailed rendering of Sandwich with its historic bridge and architecture, under the careful hand of Bartlett, makes it a valuable piece for collectors and enthusiasts of historical engravings.

Antique engraving of Windsor Bridge on the Thames, Tombleson, c.1832–1834

Located in Langweer, NL

Antique engraving of Windsor Bridge on the Thames, Tombleson, c.1832–1834 This detailed antique engraving depicts the old Windsor Bridge, a three-arched crossing over the River Thames linking Windsor in Berkshire with Eton in Buckinghamshire. The bridge was a vital crossing point in the early 19th century, carrying both pedestrians and traffic across the river. In this composition, the bridge is shown with a horse-drawn cart and several figures making their way across, while activity on the water and along the riverbanks brings additional life to the scene. In the foreground, a barge with a furled sail moves slowly beneath the bridge, manned by boatmen engaged in their work. To the right, figures in brightly colored dress gather by the riverbank, one leaning on a pole near the water’s edge while others attend to daily activities. The houses and riverside buildings frame the view, adding to the sense of a bustling riverside townscape. The whole scene is animated by the interplay of people, architecture, and the flowing Thames, presenting Windsor as both a place of commerce and community. The drawing is by William Tombleson (1795–1846), a leading English topographical draughtsman whose series Views of the Thames and Medway (published between 1832 and 1834) was highly admired for its combination of accuracy and artistic style. The engraving was executed by Charles Mottram...
