Description Brompton in 1822 by George Scharf
Details

View of Brompton in West London in 1822 with what looks like a market garden on the left, backed by country houses and poplars. On the right appears a sign bearing the words, Bishop's Palace. George Scharf was born in Mainburg, Bavaria in 1788. He earned a living painting miniatures during the Napoleonic Wars and settled in England in 1816 where he set about composing an amazing collection of records in watercolours of all the important and interesting sights of the time
