View of Greenwich from Deptford. Engraved for Harrison's History of London.

This print from Walter Harrison's London 'History' portrays a routine view of reasonable topographical accuracy as regards the main buildings (though probably not the rest), including Greenwich Hospital, St Alfege's Church and the Royal Observatory, but has no significant detail or graphic distinction. The vessel on the extreme far left seems to be flying Dutch colours. It is mounted in an album with PAI1969-PAI2028. For a coloured copy see PAD2193.
