The
Tower of London c. 1813
From
the Thames above, and from the opposite view, from the
northern portions of Tower Hill, below. Many private houses
had been built up against the wall of the Tower complex.
The sail structure rising in the centre of the White Tower
is a mystery known only to the engraver. See also a view
of Traitor's Gate.
The
final engraving is of the church within the tower (the Chapel of St
John) which during Georgian times was used as a Record Office, and was
filled with shelves and parchments.
