The source of the Crikshank image is a work called 'Greenwich Portraits' by Charles Kadwell, of which there is acopy in the Greenwich Heritage Centre library, and complete prints bear the inscription at the bottom 'GREENWICH HOS MUSICIANS, 1834' as part of the image. [PvdM 4/04, amended 4/10]. {James Thornhill (1676-1734) took nineteen years to complete his decoration of the Painted Hall at the Greenwich Hospital. This sketch was one of his preliminary designs for the hall.}
