THE WOODEN WALLS 9 BRYDON, John. [Untitled Prospect Of Copenhagen] 'Publish'd by J. Brydon April 21 1801 Charing Cross.' [letterpress text:] 'PLAN and DISPOSITION of the DANISH FORCE, moored for the Defence of the CITY of COPENHAGEN, with the BRITISH SQUADRON, placed under the Command of Vice Admiral LORD NELSON and BRONTE, by SIR HYDE PARKER, Commander in Chief; with their Situation when at Anchor, prior and during the Action of the 2d of April, 1801. [text].' London: John Brydon, April 21 1801; copper etching, with letterpress text below, image: 248 x 547 Widest with text: 465 x 547, in original wash colour. The paper is watermarked '18 HS 00', and has the contemporary manuscript notation on the reverse: 'Engagement off Copenhagen' '27'. With an old horizontal and vertical fold, with two small pinholes at the junction, the paper uncut, the upper border a little creased. Overall a good example. Rare plan/view of the Battle of Copenhagen. Although described as a plan by the publisher, and treated as such in this catalogue, this item is essentially a prospect of Copenhagen harbour, obviously hastily produced by Brydon to capitalise on public excitement in the victory. The engraved plate bears only Brydon's imprint, with the main title and text are printed from letterpress in the margin outside the lower border. When Brydon had more time, he produced a proper plan of the battle, published in May 1802. £1,500 14
