Description: | View of countryside around Hampstead. Although originally a quiet farming community, Hampstead village was increasingly visited by Londoners after the discovery of a spring in 1698. The village grew and prospered in the eighteenth century, Daniel Defoe noting in 1725 that it was ' growing from a little village almost to a city'. The artist is Thomas Stowers (1754- c.1814). | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Alken, Samuel | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
