Summary

[edit]
Author
Francis Nicholson
Description
English: Greenwich Park

A well-detailed pencil sketch of distant London, taken from across the front of the Royal Observatory, whose east pavilion on Flamsteed House is visible upper left. The windmills at Millwall on the Isle of Dogs can be seen over the trees below the Observatory on the right. The drawing is inscribed 'Greenwich Park', lower right and bears colour annotations; 'white', 'red' and 'yellow brick' on the pavilion and its foundation wall on the left. Clouds are sketchily indicated in the sky.

Nicholson (1753-1844) was an important early watercolour painter who came to London from Yorkshire in 1800.

[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.
