‘PARIS GARDEN’, THAMES FORESHORE, WATERLOO

A detail from the 'Agas' woodcut map (compiled at the begining of Queen Elizabeth I's reign). This view shows the buildings immediately north of Paris Garden Manor House with the River Thames behind it, to the west of the Paris Garden Stairs. However, there are many discrepancies between this painting and the original map. Watercolour by Jos. Jones, from a collection of his original watercolour illustrations and notes entitled 'Monumental Inscriptions, Arms & Co: in the Church & Churchyard of St Mary in Lambeth'. An introductory note states that 'These things were gather'd whilst the work was doing at Palace of the Archbishop of Canterbury 1749' and signed G.Jo.Jones.
