[Tothill Fields]
[Abraham Aubry after Wenceslaus Hollar, c.1644]
Etching, sheet 90 x 165mm (3½ x 6½"). Trimmed to image and glued to backing sheet.
View across Tothill Fields towards Westminster Abbey (marked 'S. Peter in westminster'), with Parliament buildings to the right and the old St. Paul's Cathedral (destroyed by the 1666 fire) in background. Copy by Abraham Aubry of an etching by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77), whose etching was originally issued as part of a set of four English views (the other three were of central London and Windsor). Born in Bohemia, Hollar spent around 32 of his 52 years as a professional artist working in England. An outstanding draughtsman and topographical etcher, Hollar's work was enormously varied and has done much to inform the the way that 17th century London is visualised.
