992. ARCHITECTURAL SCENE.

_Jan van der Heyden_ (Dutch: 1637-1712). _See 866._

Classic _v._ Gothic. An interesting picture of the architectural

tendency of the time--the classical Palladian architecture of stone

rising over the ruins of the red brick Gothic of earlier times. The

same mixture of the old and the new--in juxtaposition not altogether

unlike what is here represented--may be seen in the town of Abingdon

(Berks), where Inigo Jones's market-hall, built about the time of this

picture, towers above the red bricks of the humbler and earlier styles.
