Oil picture. 9 by 5¾ in.
The same subject as the left-hand portion of [No. 83], excepting that it includes York Water-gate. Adelphi Terrace was never faced with red brick; the painter is trying to improve on Adam’s design.

86 VIEW DOWN THE RIVER FROM THE GARDEN OF OLD SOMERSET HOUSE.
Oil picture. 36 by 18 in.
In foreground to left is part of the garden of old Somerset House, with the stairs or landing-stage. St. Paul’s Cathedral and many church steeples are shown, also old London Bridge, houses still on it. In Southwark are St. Olave’s Church, Tooley Street, St. Saviour’s, now Southwark Cathedral, and on the extreme right an octagonal building which looks extremely like a Bankside theatre, although, according to existing evidence, they had all disappeared long before the date of this picture. The last apparently was the Hope, not known to have survived after the year 1682, when there was an advertisement in the “Loyal Protestant,” with reference to “the Hope on the Bankside, being His Majesty’s Bear Garden.”
