"Suspension Bridge, Hammersmith, from Ackermann's Microcosm of London, engraved by J. Baily, 1828" is an engraving by William Westall that depicts the Hammersmith Suspension Bridge as it stood in the early 19th century. The artwork was included in Rudolph Ackermann's "Microcosm of London," an ambitious publication that offered a comprehensive portrayal of London life through a series of illustrations and texts. Westall, known for his landscape views, captured the elegance of the suspension bridge, which at the time was a relatively new technological marvel, reflecting the era's advancements in engineering and design.

The Hammersmith Suspension Bridge, designed by William Tierney Clark, was an important infrastructure project that facilitated crossing the River Thames in West London. Westall's engraving, expertly executed by J. Baily, provides a historical snapshot of the bridge, emphasizing its significance as a symbol of progress during the Industrial Revolution. The artwork is not only of artistic value but also serves as a valuable historical record, offering insights into the urban development of London and the aesthetic preferences of the period.

The engraving is characterized by its attention to detail and the use of light and shadow, which enhances the structural elements of the bridge and the surrounding landscape. It is a fine example of the topographical art that was popular in the 19th century, aimed at a growing audience interested in the modernization of the cityscape. As part of Ackermann's "Microcosm of London," the work contributed to one of the most significant documentary projects of the time, which remains a key source for understanding the social and architectural history of London.
