"Old Battersea Bridge" is a notable etching created by the British artist Walter William Burgess in the late 19th century. Burgess, who was born in 1846 and passed away in 1908, was a prominent figure in the etching revival movement in England. His works are celebrated for their intricate detail and historical significance, capturing the essence of London's architectural and urban landscape during a period of significant change.

The etching depicts the original Battersea Bridge, a wooden structure that spanned the River Thames in London. This bridge, constructed in 1771, was one of the oldest surviving Thames crossings by the time Burgess created his etching. It was known for its picturesque, albeit somewhat dilapidated, appearance, which made it a popular subject for artists of the time. Burgess's rendering of the bridge is particularly valued for its historical accuracy and artistic finesse, providing a window into the past and preserving the memory of a structure that was eventually replaced by a modern bridge in 1890.

Burgess's "Old Battersea Bridge" is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, capturing not only the architectural elements of the bridge but also the bustling activity of the surrounding area. The etching showcases Burgess's skill in rendering light and shadow, as well as his ability to convey the texture of the wooden planks and the movement of the water beneath. This work is a testament to Burgess's dedication to documenting the vanishing landmarks of London, and it holds a significant place in the history of British printmaking.

Today, "Old Battersea Bridge" is appreciated not only as a work of art but also as a historical document, offering insights into the urban development of London and the artistic trends of the 19th century. Burgess's etching remains a valuable piece for collectors and historians alike, reflecting the enduring charm and historical importance of London's architectural heritage.
