This is a scarce 1845 London Illustrated News panorama of London, England. Measuring some 96 inches long, this enormous production presents a birds-eye view of London as seen from far above the southern shore of the Thames, covering from Vauxhall to Greenwich. There is much of interest throughout, from lively shipping at the East and West India Docks; to Nelson's Column, only erected three years before; to the short-lived Hungerford Suspension Bridge (1845-1862, when it was removed and the chain used on the Clifton Suspension Bridge over the Avon); and Buckingham Palace, completed in 1837, still with the Marble Arch as the gateway (re-erected in Hyde Park 1851).

An enormous striking 1876 London Illustrated News bird's-eye view of Manhattan, New York City. The view looks east on Manhattan and Long Island from Bergen Hill, a high point in Hoboken, New Jersey, just across the Hudson River. Manhattan is covered from the Battery to roughly 96th Street. The Reservoir, today the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, a large pond in Central Park, is evident at the extreme left. Hoboken is evident in the foreground, and in the distance Brooklyn, Williamsburg, and Long Island city are recognizable. Some of the larger buildings, generally church spires, are exaggerated in the vertical. Among these both Trinity Church and St. Paul's Chapel, in the financial district, stand out. The Hudson River, East River, and New York Harbor are busy with maritime traffic, including ferries, commercial ships, and sailing yachts. The view predates the construction of any major bridges across the Hudson or East Rivers. (more details)
