"Westminster Bridge from Somerset House" is an aquatint engraving by the British artist William Daniell RA (Royal Academy), who was known for his work as a landscape painter and printmaker. Created in 1811, this piece is part of Daniell's notable "A Voyage Round Great Britain" series, which was produced between 1814 and 1825. The series comprises a collection of prints that depict a variety of coastal and inland scenes from around Great Britain, capturing the essence of the country's landscapes during the early 19th century.

The artwork "Westminster Bridge from Somerset House" specifically portrays a view of Westminster Bridge and the surrounding area of London as seen from the vantage point of Somerset House, a large Neoclassical building situated on the south side of the Strand. The bridge, which spans the River Thames, was an important architectural feat of its time and a symbol of London's urban expansion during the Georgian era.

Daniell's depiction is notable for its attention to detail and the use of light and shade to convey the atmosphere of the scene. The aquatint process, a variant of etching that allows for the creation of tonal effects, enabled Daniell to achieve a sense of depth and realism in his prints. His work provides a valuable historical record of the appearance of Westminster Bridge and its environs before the significant urban developments that occurred later in the 19th and 20th centuries.

As a member of the Royal Academy, William Daniell was a respected figure in the British art community, and his works, including "Westminster Bridge from Somerset House," are considered important contributions to the visual documentation of Britain's landscapes and urban environments during a period of rapid change and industrialization. This print remains a significant piece of British topographical art and continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and historical value.
