Queenborough
Mounted with PAD7506-PAD7507. One of the illustrations (pl.ix) to the 'hudibrastic' poetic account of 'The Five Days' Peregrination' by Ebenezer Forrest, illustrated by Scott and Hogarth, who took part in it with Forrest, James Thornhill and a friend called Tothall: 'Queenborough consists of one short street, / Broad and well pav'd, and very neat." The view shows the Clock-House with the tower of the church to the left: in the middle stands a group of sailors, of whom one has his hat in his and and is speaking to Hogarth, with Forrest the taller figure on the far right. This is not apparently the original edition, in which the illustrations were more compressed and had lettered keys. [PvdM 4/13]
