Royal Observatory Greenwich Long Caption: 'To the Revd Dr Maskelyne', This plate is inscribed, 'by his obliged Servant, J Baker'. A view from the north, showing the pavilions as domes rather than cupolas, as do a number of other views. Maskelyne was 5th Astronomer Royal, 1765-1811, and the dress of the couple in the lower left suggests this item dates to the early 19th century.
