'London in 1842 - taken from the summit of the Duke of York's Column - North view'


Panorama of London in 1842 looking north from the Duke of York's Column, up Waterloo Place and Lower Regent Street to Piccadilly Circus. The church of St James's, Piccadilly rises prominently slightly to the left of centre. On the left hand side is Green Park with Apsley House at the far end behind it. Trafalgar Square, the National Gallery (opened on this site in 1838) and St. Martin's in the Fields can be see on the right hand side; Nelson's column, surrounded by scaffolding, is under construction (completed 1843). The gardens to the rear of the Gentleman's Clubs of Pall Mall are in the immediate foregound. Originally published as a pair of views on a single sheet looking north and south from the same point, this is the north view only. It is believed to have been the largest wood-block engraving published to that date and caused a sensation on publication. The panorama was given to weekly subscribers of at least 6 months standing (the ILN had only begun publishing 8 months earlier) and otherwise sold to clients.

Condition Guide

We assess the condition of each item using three categories: Good, Fair, and Poor. We strive to ensure that any significant flaws are clearly shown in the images provided and detailed in the accompanying condition statement.

Good

The item presents well, with no significant flaws, and is in frameable condition. Minor imperfections—such as light spotting or offsetting, small blemishes, tight margins, neatly repaired tears, or discreet/professionally executed restoration—do not materially detract from its overall appearance.

Fair

The item shows noticeable flaws but remains in frameable condition. Some buyers may feel these imperfections affect its visual appeal. Typical issues may include more prominent spotting, blemishes, bleed-through from the reverse, obvious offsetting, visible or extensive restoration, wear along fold lines or junctures, small wormholes, trimmed or closely cropped edges, or less carefully executed repairs.

Poor

The item has major flaws that significantly impact its presentation and/or suitability for framing. These may include heavy spotting, staining, bleed-through, offsetting, unrepaired damage, or poorly executed repairs such as tears, holes, or areas of paper loss (including within the printed image). The item may also be fragile and prone to further deterioration.
