Gideon Yates (?1790-?1840)
1831 View on The Thames with London Bridge from the East Side showing Fishmonger's Hall, The Church of St Magnus the Martyr and St. Paul's Cathedral.
c.1831 29x54cm Watercolour unsigned Provenance: The Parker Gallery LIttle is known of the life of Yates. Even his date of death is disputed with some sources putting it at 1837. What is known is that he spent most of his working life in London, producing many detailed views of The Thames such as this one. His style is very distinctive, and this large and impressive view of London Bridge is a typical view. He is thought to have lived in Lancaster in 1811, and to have travelled widely throughout Britain and the Continent. His works are in public collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum. In this view, Thames barges are in the foreground with their distinctive brown sails. A steamship proceeds along the middle of The Thames. The first steamboat patented was in 1729, by John Allen an English physician. However it was not until 1783 that the first steam-powered ship, "Pyroscaphe," was demonstrated on the River Saône. By 1788 John Fitch in Philadelphia was operating a commercial service along the Delaware River were built in the United States. The first sea-going steamboat was the "Experiment" built by Richard Wright in 1813; by this point river services were becoming well established although it was not until 1815 that The Thames acquired its first successful services with "Margery" and "Thames" arriving from the Clyde where they had been in service for some years. Margate and Gravesend were the main destinations. The steamboat in this view is a paddlesteamer, with two side wheels. At the north end of London Bridge (on the far side from the viewer) is Fishmongers' Hall, St Magnus the Martyr Church is visible on the near side of the bridge, and St Paul's Cathedral is visible beyond.

Sir Edward Brantwood Maufe KBE, R.A, F.R.I.B.A. (1882-1974)
Lloyds Bank, Notting Hill Gate (c.1930)
Ink and wash 60 x 37 cm In original white-painted frame. Signed 'Edward Maufe, Architect' lower right; also signed 'Drawn by H A Townsend'. This bank, designed by Maufe, still stands; contrary to the flourishes of the architectural design, however, it was executed in a slightly more restrained style. Sadly, a gratuitously unattractive modern front now defaces the front of the original bank building. Maufe is probably most famous for his Guildford Cathedral, the Air Forces Memorial, and his work for the Imperial War Graves Commission, for which he received his knighthood in 1954. He served a five-year apprenticeship under William Pite and then attended St John’s College, Oxford as an undergraduate. He then studied Design at the Architectural Association. His architecture is notable for its strong arts and crafts influence; this likely arose from his having lived in The Red House, Bexleyheath, which Philip Webb designed for the most famous of the Arts and Crafts designers: William Morris.

The Telecinema - Telekinema - National Film Theatre Southbank (1957)
Pencil drawing, squared for transfer. 40x51cm If you are interested email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056. The Telecinema was built for the 1951 Festival of Britain, situated between Waterloo Station and the Royal Festival Hall. Whilst press releases referred to the Telecinema, the outside of the building proclaimed Telekinema. Wells Coates were the architect, creating - in the words of Today's Cinema - "A fly-away linear design [with a ] gay façade and bold modern stare". Seating 410 people it was the first cinema in Britain with both 3D sound - provided by an array of speakers behind the screen and allowing the sound to come from the direction of the person speaking - and 3D vision. It was demolished in 1957 when the National Film Theatre moved to its current location - renamed in 2007 as BFI Southbank. -
