View of Lambeth from Whitehall Stairs [copy]
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.
