Description
English: 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.

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
