The Colosseum Print of London, 1842 - ILN

The Colosseum Print, a view of north and south London, based on a photograph by Antoine Claudet taken from the top of the Duke of York's Column, 124 feet high. An artist, C.F.Sargent, then drew the photographic detail onto a wood block which was then sent to the engraving firm of Ebenezer Landells. Two months of continuous work followed and the work was then printed by Palmer and Clayton. The picture was given away to subscribers with the 7th January 1843 issue of the Illustrated London News
