ACKERMANN'S MICROCOSM OF LONDON (1808)

104 Handcoloured aquatints in three volumes, issued in parts between 1808 and 1810. Published by Rudolph Ackermann, this series is of interest in setting a new standard for the figures "staffage" in topographical prints. This was achieved by an exceptional partnership between Augustus Pugin, who made the architectural drawing, and Thomas Rowlandson, who added the figures, frequently caricatures. The majority of the plates were aquatinted by J. Bluck and Joseph Stadler. This series of prints is Series 99 as catalogued in London Illustrated 1604-1851 by Bernard Adams. The image below is The Long Room, Custom House.


See below for a complete list and access to images of all of the plates.
