GEORGE RENNIE

Plan of the Property on Each Side of the River Thames which May be Affected by the Approaches to the New London Bridge.

Messers. Rennies, [1820] 2 plans, each 530 x 830 mm. made up of two conjoined sheets and hand coloured. In a scale of approximately 80 feet to the inch. They show the plans for the new bridge, the new approach roads and the properties affected, with manuscript notes by Messrs. Rennies to both> the first shoing just the roads in colour, the second with affected properties also coloured. George Rennie initially designed the bridge but following his death in 1821 his brother John Rennie junior completed the project which was opened in 1832, following which the old London Bridge was demolished, having stood for over 600 years. The new structure had fewer support pillars and caused less of an obstruction to river traffic enabling full use to be made of up river traffic. Famously, this new bridge was dismantled between 1968 and 1971 and the facing stones used to build a replica on a core of concrete over Lake Havasu in Arizona. The only copy traced, at the British Library, dates this to 1826, but we believe this earlier date is more likely.

TONY SARG

The New York Official World's Fair Pictorial Map Souvenir Box.

New York: [The World's Fair] 1939. Stout cardboard souvenir box, 365 mm. tall x 190 mm. wide, soft rope carrying handle. A little worn and the red printing to the box has faded. The celebrated artist Tony Sarg was commissioned to produce a large panorama and a series of coloured guide maps to the event> the black and white map of the fair on the outside of the box doesn't seem to have been reproduced elsewhere. This would appear to be a box for purchase by visitors in which they could place their souvenirs as they travelled around the fair. I have been unable to trace another example.
