This is a view of new Richmond Bridge designed and built by James Paine and Kenton Couse between 1774-77. It was the first of four stone-arch bridges built by Paine and was also painted by notable artists including J.M.W. Turner, whose celebrated views of Richmond Bridge are in the Tate Gallery. Daniel Turner painted mainly London views, specialising in bridges across the Thames.
