174513390London: F. West 1745. Engraving printed on wove paper. Very good condition apart from a 5/8" tear in the right margin and a light water stain in the top right corner of the sheet. A stunning panoramic view of Westminster Bridge as seen from Lambeth on the south bank of London possibly from the series "A Collection of Views of old London and its Environs."<br/> <br/>Among the Georgian buildings on London's north bank the imposing Gothic structure of Westminster Abbey is visible as are the spires of the adjacent smaller church of St. Margaret. Further east one can discern the distinct clock tower of St. Martin-in-the-Fields which was designed by the Scottish architect James Gibbs and erected in Trafalgar Square in 1721. Spanning the bustling thoroughfare of the Thames and connecting north and south London is the impressive stone overpass Westminster Bridge. Based on a design by the French architect Monsieur Labelye the bridge is straddled by elegant stone balustrades that are punctuated by fourteen piers. It was constructed between 1739 and 1749 and was the only bridge aside from London Bridge that stood on the Thames during this period. In 1750 it was opened to the public.<br/> <br/>Cf.

1786WRCLIT65495A Londres. Se vend à Marseille: Chez Jean Mossy 1786. xvi184pp. Contemporary calf and boards spine gilt extra. Light scattered foxing and occasional mild spotting a few rubs and light stains to boards otherwise a very good copy. First edition of this substantial collection of verse epigrams translations and letters in verse. The identity of the author seems only thinly veiled at first glance but the screen has been sufficiently impenetrable that authorship for the copies in the BM Lyon and BL remains unattributed and Barbier comes up short. The London aspect of the imprint is curious as it is an entirely French production but may just possibly point to a French national posted to London in some business or governmental capacity. The dedication of the collection is to M. Deprats who is also identified as the recipient of several of the letters in verse. Chez Jean Mossy hardcover books
