Summary[edit]
The picture was made on October, 1st 1824, and the full caption is:
- „Flamsteed House, the original Observatory building at Greenwich, was designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Robert Hooke and built in 1675-76. John Flamsteed, the first Astronomer Royal, lived and worked there to his death in 1719 by which time it was already known as Flamsteed or Flamsteed's House, a name which has stuck to his day.“
Шеферды были известной семьёй лондонских художников-топографов.
Картина написана 1 октября 1824 года. Полная подпись на подлиннике: «Фламстид Хаус, оригинальное здание Обсерватории в Гринвиче, было спроектировано Сэром Кристофером Реном и Робертом Гуком и построено в 1675-76 годах. Джон Фламстид, первый Королевский астроном, жил и работал здесь до его смерти в 1719 году, и уже в то время это здание было известно как «Фламстид» или «Дом Фламстида», и это имя возвращает нас к его дням».
На картине изображены купола над двумя павильонами, которых сейчас уже нет. Разнообразные выступы на левом куполе, возможно, связаны с его использованием в качестве камеры-обскуры в то время; правый мог быть куполом башни телескопа. Центральный балкон также не аутентичный, и нет шара времени на западной башенке (он был установлен только в 1833 году). Человек, сидящий на скамье у дорожки на переднем плане – вероятно, отставной моряк-пенсионер из госпиталя в Гринвиче.Camera location | 51° 28′ 42.08″ N, 0° 00′ 09.13″ W | View this and other nearby images on: OpenStreetMap | 51.478356; -0.002537 |
