Greenwich Revealed

de Neil Rhind, Julian Watson

An interpretation and analysis of unique and very detailed streetscapes of Greenwich drawn c.1705 by an unknown draughtsman. The drawings record the fenestration, doors, chimneys, walls and railings of individual houses. The streetscapes may have been commissioned by Nicholas Hawksmoor, the great English architect while he was Clerk of the Works at Greenwich. The streetscapes are reproduced with supporting images including maps, reconstructions, modern photograph and detailed text.
