Description: | Coloured aquatint . This aquatint print was published as part of ‘A Picturesque Tour through the Cities of London and Westminster’ (1792-1801), a series of aquatint prints by Thomas Malton junior. The view of the ‘North Front of St. Martin's Church’ is plate 24 in the series of 100 views. The church, also known as St. Martin-in-the-Fields, is located to the northeast corner of Trafalgar Square. The current building, completed in 1726, was designed by Scottish architect James Gibbs (1682-1754). Well-known 18th-century figures buried in St. Martin's include the French sculptor Louis-François Roubiliac (1702-1762), furniture-maker Thomas Chippendale (c.1718-1779) and the notorious thief and prison breaker Jack Sheppard (1702-1724). | Subjects: | genre child hoop-rolling tower topography spire church dress woman street boy | Temporal: | 1795 | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | Thomas Malton jnr | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
