Description
English: Greenwich Hospital from the river

A precise small panoramic pencil study, slightly from the west. The globe on one of the piers of the Hospital West Gate is clearly shown, apparently already moved to its current position (from 1850) and there is no sign of the tenements round Fisher Lane. This suggests that the date is around 1850 - though it may be earlier since there is no sign of Greenwich Pier. The river stairs by what may be the Ship Inn on the right are clearly shown.

[edit]
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.
