This illustration is titled On the Canal at Berkhampstead. The Grand Union Canal cuts through the heart of the town of Berkhampsted (also spelled Berkhampstead) in England. Francis Egerton, Duke of Bridgewater (the Canal Duke), father of the inland waterway system, lived in Ashridge, near Berkhamsted. The national monument to the canal system, which now stands in the middle of the Ashridge National Trust parkland, was built in his memory. The Grand Junction Canal from the Thames at Brentford to Berkhamsted was completed in 1798 and continued all the way to Birmingham in 1805.
