"One of the earliest views of King's College. The form of the crown tower reflects its rebuilding in 1634 after storm damage. However the existence of the pyramidal roof under the crown dates the work to pre 1658. Repairs to the chapel in 1658 removed the pyramid and replaced it with a flat roof. The figures on the extreme left are probably students clad in the student 'uniform' of red gowns."
