Description: | Andrew Ingamells' detailed panorama stretches from the London Eye to the Millennium Dome. Viewed from Southwark Cathedral's tower, it looks north across the City, taking in St Paul's Cathedral and the tower at Canary Wharf.
The etching incorporates the Royal Opera House, the Michelin building and the Globe Theatre in four central panels. It also includes the Victoria and Albert Museum's 'Spiral' building. When the work was created, the museum hoped to build this new London landmark, but the project has since been abandoned.
Ingamells spent seven months making this plate, which was completed in March 2000. It is taken from the same vantage point as Wenceslaus Hollar used for his 1630s panorama. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Andrew Ingamells | Subjects: | Cityscape Art and Design | Temporal: | 2000 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
