Anonymous, 18th century

'Putney Bridge and Village from Fulham', c1750. The earliest painted picture of the the wooden bridge built by Thomas Phillips, carpenter to King George II after designs by Jacob Acworth revised by Dr William Cheselden and Thomas Ripley, between 1729 and 1730. This bridge remained until the present stone bridge was built over the Thames in 1882-1886 by Sir Joseph Bazalgette. The toll house, or Bridge House, had a bell to warn of approaching highwaymen. On the right is the Swan Inn, with a set of mounting steps in the foreground. Across the Thames are the riverside houses of Putney grouped around the church of St Mary. Oil on canvas.
