  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.

• A proposito di opere artista
  Thomas Sulman è nato nel 1834. Era uno specialista nell'uso di palloncini per disegnare vedute a volo d'uccello di città tra cui Londra, Oxford, Glasgow e New York. Queste vedute, come incisioni colorate a mano prodotte con l'aiuto dell'incisore londinese Robert Loudan Sr., furono presentate in The Illustrated London News dal 1860, e talvolta furono prodotte su un pieghevole lungo sei piedi. Sulman studiò al Working Men's College tra il 1854 e il 1858, dove fu allievo e in seguito incisore di Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Nel 1891 produsse vedute di alto livello delle principali arterie londinesi per London: Illustrated by Twenty Bird's Eye Views of the Principal Streets incisa da George William Ruffle (1838-1901). Ha lavorato per l'Illustrated London News, ma ha anche disegnato e inciso immagini per pubblicità su giornali e riviste, inclusa una per Beethams Glycerine e Cucumber che mostra una giovane donna con articoli da toeletta. Ha illustrato per The Boy's Own Annual nel 1880. Morì intorno al 1900.
