Comments:

by Geoffrey Godden:
Godden discusses this silk in the general narrative, but does not record it later in his number section.

Other comments:
This identical picture was also issued by Grant under the alternative title of Ye Views of Olde London [recorded as gt36 on this site]. It is probably this alternative title was used after the closure of the Exhibition.

Grant also issued another multi-silk picture, with the title "Views of Ye Olde London Streete" [gt32 on this site], which has printed the titles of the same three views. The individual silks though are mirror images to the ones above, as discussed in gt32.

These three individual view silks were also issued by Grant as individually mounted pictures, being:

gt798 - Ye Church of All Hallows (building to left of weaving)
gt810 - Ye Olde London Streete
gt804 - Ye Olde Bishopsgate (roofline sloping up from left to right)
