View of Lambeth from Whitehall Stairs [copy]
Copy after Wenceslaus Hollar Bohemian
Not on view
Lambeth, now part of South London, is seen from Whitehall Stairs with Lambeth Palace in distance on the left. The right foreground is filled with a range of gabled buildings. A two-storied wing is shown at center, extending over the foreshore on piers and ending in a door and a flight of steps down to the water. Before this convenience, Whitehall Stairs consisted of a plank walkway which ferry boats used to deposit passngers. This is a copy after Hollar in the same direction as his original.
