LAMBETH FIELDS BY HOLLAR

LAMBETH FIELDS BY HOLLAR

A detail from 'The Prospect of London and Westminster taken from Lambeth by W. Hollar'. Wenceslas Hollar's panoramic view was originally engraved in 1647 and with this early 18th century reprint, his original copper plate has been reworked to include the new St Pauls, as well as other City churches. This section shows the rural nature of Lambeth showing fields, elm trees and market gardens with the City of London beyond. The house in the left hand corner is Norfolk House, Lambeth home to the Dukes of Norfolk in in the 16th century, although perhaps rebuilt.
