61 [WESTMINSTER ABBEY FROM DEAN’S YARD.] Plate XXIV.
18¼ by 12¾ in.
A general view of the Abbey from the south-west, Westminster schoolboys and masters in foreground. There is an engraving of this subject.
By T. Malton the Elder (1726-1801). Lent by the City of Birmingham Art Gallery.
62 BEAUCHAMP TOWER—TOWER OF LONDON.
Watercolour. 6 by 6¾ in.
Under the mount are the words in pencil “Beauchamp Tower,” and this is probably correct. The building, however, has been much altered since 1798.
Charles Tomkins, painter and aquatint engraver, son of W. Tomkins, A.R.A., did a number of topographical views of London. In 1796 he published a “Tour in the Isle of Wight,” with eighty engravings, and in 1805 “Views of Reading Abbey.”
By C. Tomkins, 1798 (1757-1810). Lent by Mr. E. H. Coles.
