The view is taken from the raised western tree avenue of the Park's lower parterre (now surfaced and known as Jubilee Walk), looking north over the west colonnade of the Greenwich Hospital School (now the NMM) towards the Queen Mary Court of Greenwich Hospital (Old Royal Naval College). The Queen's House is just visible on the right and the masts of the school's drill ship 'Fame' rise just beyond it to the north, though shown more as if projecting above the Hospital buildings from some vessel in the river, which would not be possible to such a height from this angle.); © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolour print by Thomas Hosmer Shepherd captures the timeless beauty of Greenwich Hospital from the park in June 1855. The scene depicts a peaceful view from the raised western tree avenue of the Park's lower parterre, looking north over the west colonnade of the Greenwich Hospital School towards the Queen Mary Court of Greenwich Hospital (Old Royal Naval College). The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life this historic moment in time.
The Queen's House can be seen on the right, with the masts of the school's drill ship 'Fame' rising just beyond it to the north. Shepherd masterfully portrays these architectural marvels against a backdrop of lush greenery and clear blue skies. The careful use of graphite adds depth and dimension to this picturesque scene.
As you gaze upon this artwork, you can almost feel yourself transported back to 19th century England, where grandeur and elegance were at their peak. This print is not just a visual representation but a window into history, allowing us to appreciate and admire the beauty that once graced Greenwich Hospital. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and architectural legacy that continues to inspire awe even today.
