The view of the painting as a whole is taken from somewhere near the site of the present Waterloo Bridge and shows the Royal Terrace just after completion. The Terrace was the major portion of the Adam Brothers' Adelphi scheme, which involved the reclamation of this part of the river and the construction also of John Street, Adam Street and Robert Street, which was not yet built when the picture was painted. A number of members of the Society of Arts had Adelphi addresses at this period, including Robert and James Adam and David Garrick. The Terrace was demolished in 1936 to make way for the building then inscribed Adelphi, arrogating the name of an entire district. Of the true Adelphi only the Society's own premises, Robert Street and some houses in Adam Street survive. Reproduced by permission of the Museum of London. 34,000 copies sold
