ref. Godden ‘Coalport & Coalbrookdale’ pl. 171 for an example depicting the Iron Bridge of Iron Bridge Gorge, the site of the Coalport works, dated 1825-35. As it is identical in form and colour, and this example is clearly made to commemorate the 1851 Exhibition, it may have been dated a little early.
