Description
English: Royal Naval Asylum from Greenwich Park.

Vignette. An aquatint from the 'Naval Chronicle', August 1811, subsequently hand-coloured. It shows the scaffolding in place for the northward extension of Alexander's east wing, which with the west wing, was originally completed as a balanced 'hammerhead' pair on the end of the colonnades in about 1809 but almost immediately enlarged to the north as they remain at present. A Laurie and Whittle print of 1814 (PAF7626) also in the collection shows them as complete.

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.
