Description
English: View of Greenwich Hospital from off Millwall

A panoramic pencil and watercolour sketch study from the west, off Millwall, with the point of the Isle of Dogs visible on the left, the Hospital, and the buildings of the Greenwich waterfront visible beyond shipping on the right. The Trafalgar Tavern appears to be included east of the Hospital, which suggests a date after 1837 but before the tenement area around Fisher Lane (or Fisher's Alley) behind the pier was cleared in the early 1840s. The drawing is inscribed 'Greenwich Hospital' lower right, with Duncan's studio stamp impressed alongside in red.

Licensing

[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.
