  MAGNIFICENT VIEW OF VICTORIAN LONDON "London from the South side of the Thames", large format wood engraving made by Robert Loudan Sr., based on a drawing by Thomas Sulman. Published in 1863 as a supplement to The Illustrated London News. Coloured by a later hand. Size: 42.5 x 131 cm. A highly detailed panorama of London as seen from a hot air balloon. The city is viewed from a point above Kensington, showing the Thames from the Houses of Parliament to St Katherine Docks in the year before the Thames Embankment bill was passed, the legislation that led to the construction of the Victoria and Albert Embankments. On the north side of the Thames, we see Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park Corner, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, St Paul's Cathedral, the Monument, and the Tower of London, with Regent's Park, Hampstead, and Highgate visible in the distance. On the south side of the Thames, there are Lambeth Palace, Bethlem Royal Hospital (now the Imperial War Museum), Waterloo Station, St George's Circus, and Elephant and Castle. Thomas Sulman (c. 1834-1900) was a specialist in creating cityscapes from a bird's-eye perspective using balloons, including views of London, Oxford, Glasgow, and New York. He worked for The Illustrated London News. Sulman studied at the Working Men's College in London between 1854-1858, where he was a student of, and later an engraver for, Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Price: Euro 1.950,-
• Sobre el artista
  Thomas Sulman nació en 1834. Era un especialista en el uso de globos para dibujar vistas panorámicas de ciudades como Londres, Oxford, Glasgow y Nueva York. Estas vistas, como grabados pintados a mano producidos con la ayuda del grabador londinense Robert Loudan Sr., aparecieron en The Illustrated London News de la década de 1860, y a veces se produjeron en un pliegue de dos metros de largo que Sulman estudió en The Working Men's College entre 1854 y 1858, donde fue alumno y luego grabador de Dante Gabriel Rossetti. En 1891 produjo vistas de alto nivel de las principales calles de Londres para London: Illustrated by Twenty Bird's Eye Views of the Main Streets, de Herbert Fry, grabadas por George William Ruffle (1838-1901). Trabajó para Illustrated London News, pero también dibujó y grabó imágenes para anuncios en periódicos y revistas, incluida una para Beethams Glycerine and Cucumber que mostraba a una mujer joven con artículos de tocador. Él ilustró para The Boy's Own Annual en la década de 1880. Murió alrededor de 1900.
