Thomas Talbot was a talented artist who captured the beauty and grandeur of various landmarks in his paintings. In 1829, he depicted the stunning Chateau de Fontainebleau in France, showcasing its architectural splendor. Another masterpiece from that year is his portrayal of La Chapelle du Val de Grace in Paris, highlighting its intricate details. In 1831, Talbot turned his attention to capturing the progress of transportation infrastructure. His painting of Olive Mount Cutting on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway showcases the engineering marvels of that time. He also immortalized the Thames Tunnel in London, completed in 1835, with an artwork by John Harris. Talbot's talent extended beyond landscapes and architecture; he also painted scenes depicting education and religion. The Royal Naval School at New Cross is one such example from around 1870, illustrating a place dedicated to nurturing young minds. One of Talbot's notable works includes an interior view of St Dunstan in the West Church on Fleet Street dating back to 1829. This piece captures the essence of this historical place of worship beautifully. The London and Birmingham Railway was another subject that caught Talbot's eye. In 1837, Charles Hunt created a captivating depiction under Talbot's influence. Among his railway-themed artworks are Rainhill Bridge near Liverpool and Moorish Arch looking from the Tunnel both painted in 1831. These pieces showcase not only Thomas Talbot Bury's artistic skills but also provide glimpses into transportation history during that era. Lastly, Warehouses &c at the end of the Tunnel towards Wapping offers us insight into bustling commercial activity along London's waterways circa 1831 through Bury’s brushstrokes.
