Location LFC

Hand-coloured print of the Wapping entrance to the Thames Tunnel. Visible at the top of the image are paintings by I.B. Henkin, installed in 1843, of a range of subjects including Place de la Concorde in Paris; Windsor Castle; and the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

It is unclear why the left-hand side of the Tunnel is gated in this image. No other images appear to show one side of the double tunnels blocked from use.

The image was engraved by Samuel Lacy (d. 1859) and was published by Jones & Co.
