Watercolour. 37 by 25½ in.
Shows the façade of the East India House as rebuilt according to
the design of Richard Jupp, architect of the Company, and afterwards
carried out by his successor, H. Holland, when the house was extended
east to Lime Street. The pediment of the Ionic portico was filled
with sculpture by John Bacon, R.A. The ornate building, of which
we have a separate view (No. 17), is next to the East India House,
on the west. Beyond are the spire of St. Peter’s, Cornhill, and the
tower of St. Michael’s.
By T. MALTON the Younger (1748-1804).
