Greenwich Hospital. River Front

An early Victorian view of the Hospital from a slightly elevated perspective, with small sailing craft to the left, a passenger paddle steamer to the right and a passenger wherry in the foreground. The fact that one of the 'Fame' drill ships seems to be included in front of the Queen's House suggests a post-1843 date.

The original artist may be S. Read, a watercolourist working around 1840 who drew Greenwich. For an uncoloured version see PAD2256.
