Description: | The pagoda in flames. During the 1814 festivities to celebrate the end of the war with France, a splendid seven-storey pagoda was erected in St James' Park. It was perched on a brightly painted Chinese-style bridge spanning the canal. Although the bridge remained until 1825, the pagoda caught fire during the celebratory fireworks, injuring several workmen in the process. This print has a companion. It was originally sold as part of a pair of prints: "Price 10s. 6d each, either in Colours, or as a Transparency". | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Burkitt & Hudson | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Pagodas Canals Bridges Cartography And Topography Transport Infrastructure Sacred Architecture Leisure And The Arts Science And Technology Architecture | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Calvert, Frederick | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
