Description: | View of the market place of Great Yarmouth in Norfolk. The artist Thomas Rowlandson (1756- 1827) had a reputation for cleverly capturing figures and scenes from Georgian contemporary life in a unique caricature style. He had a keen eye for satire and produced many complicated street scenes of urban life. There are many interesting details in this view: to the left is Down's Book and Print Warehouse Copper Plate & Letter Printing Press and to the right a row of smaller, older looking buildings. There are many market traders selling their goods. A row of soldiers are lined up in the street. St Nicholas's Church dominates the market place, and is an usually imposing size for a parish church. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
