Beskrivelse |
Sir John Backhouse, by 'VM' (floruit 1634-1637), with Charter for the founding of the The New River Company and Great Seal of King James I. The New River Company was incorporated in 1619 by Royal Charter, with the assistance of Sir John Backhouse. Between 1609 and 1613 a conduit was built to bring fresh water to London from Hertfordshire. It was known as the New River. The company's first reservoir was built on his land in Islington. Its original termination, near Clerkenwell, Islington, became known as the New River Head where the water filled a large cistern - the Round Pond - next to the current location of Sadler's Wells theatre — where water from the river was used to flood a large tank to stage an Aquatic Theatre at the beginning of the nineteenth century. The seal of the company depicts the 'hand of Providence bestowing rain' upon the City of London. As it resurfaces in and out of Clissold Park, the bridges still show the company's seal and motto. This set of images was gathered by User:Dcoetzee from the National Portrait Gallery, London website using a special tool. All images in this batch have a known author with unknown death date, but according to the NPG's website the author was floruit (known to be active) prior to 1859, and so is reasonably presumed dead by 1939. |
