This is an extremely uncommon 1800 George Dance plan or map of the Legal Quays, City of London. Created by Dance to illustrate his proposed plan for the improvement of the Legal Quays, the map depicts roughly from London Bridge and Fish Hill Street to the Tower of London and from the Thames River to Great Tower Street and Little Tower Street. The surrounding London Street layout is included, showing all streets and identifying major buildings. A darker, overprinted section indicates where the improvements are intended. The Proposed Improvement of London's Docks Around 1796 the House of Commons recognized that the current docks available in London were insufficient to meet the needs of increased trade. A call was put out to architects and city planners, many of whom submitted prospectives - the present example by George Dance being one such. Dance at this time was near the end of a long and prosperous architecture career that included the façade of London's Guildhall. This revamping of London's Docks, had it been adopted and constructed, would have been the crowning glory of his career. Instead, this construction was never completed and only this grand vision remains. Publication History This map was engraved by Gale and Butler of Crooked Lane, London, for the Appendix to the Third Report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons upon the Improvement of the Port of London .
