Notes
Proofs, early impressions on better paper, were priced at £2 2s, double the price of an ordinary print. Nathaniel Whittock made the drawings for this panoramic birds-eye view as from above Southwark. 'Though by what means could in that locality have attained such an elevation that enabled him to draw his plan, we are at a loss to conceive' marvelled a contemporary writer in the Art Journal (vol. V, p. 128). Edmund Walker transferred Whittock's drawing onto stone and the leading lithographers of the day printed it.
