[QUOTE="Chris_M, post: 121297, member: 1670"]Hi everyone, Some interesting updates. Gillmark had sold the image last year. The only thing they said was that the coloring was carried out by them, and that it was a steel engraving. Then I contacted the London Metropolitan Archives. And received this - quite impressive response: [I] London Metropolitan Archives reference: 2016/01455 Dear Mr Maluszynski Thank you for your recent email. We have checked our image database online (htttp:collage.cityoflondon.gov.uk) and another internal prints database and could not find this image of Highbury Crescent in our collections. We thought that the image was c.1850s so we then looked in Bernard Adams book, 'London Illustrated 1604-1851'. A reference was found to it appearing in the printed book, 'Tallis's Illustrated London (1851-2) on p218. This book can be viewed online at: [/I] [URL='https://archive.org/stream/tallissillustrat12gasp#page/n323/mode/1up'][I]https://archive.org/stream/tallissillustrat12gasp#page/n323/mode/1up[/I][/URL] [I] We have been unable to discover who the artist or engraver was, only that it was published by John Tallis. On Collage (htttp:collage.cityoflondon.gov.uk) you will see under record no. 30914, a plan relating to Tallis's illustrated study of London: TALLIS'S Illustrated Plan of LONDON AND ITS ENVIRONS, IN COMMEMORATION OF THE GREAT EXHIBITION OF ALL NATIONS, 1851 / PUBLISHED BY JOHN TALLIS & COMPANY, LONDON 7 NEW YORK. The Illustrations Drawn & Engraved by H. Lacey. The Plan Drawn & Engraved by J. Rapkin. The map is enclosed in an ornamental border containing title and arms of London, Westminster and Southwark t.c. and 48 views of London Buildings c.1 3/4" square and view of Exhibition building 1 3/4" x 4 3/4" b.c. with imprint. Map and view steel engraved and coloured. We could not identify the print of Highbury Crescent in the border but it may be that the artists mentioned above could have been the producers of the print that you have. You may also wish to try contacting the local studies centre for Islington which covers Highbury via their website at: [/I] [URL='http://www.islington.gov.uk/islington/history-heritage/Pages/default.aspx?extra=7'][I]http://www.islington.gov.uk/islington/history-heritage/Pages/default.aspx?extra=7[/I][/URL] [I] We hope this information has been useful.
