'A Prospect of Grenwich Hospitall for seamen as designed and advancing Ao.1699'

This perspective view appears to be a derivative early 18th-century copy of Kip's 1699 print produced, with a plan view, for the Hospital Directors as promotional items for the project: for the original perspective see PAI0474. They all correspond with the 1699 Nutting MS plan in the RIBA showing the King William and Queen Mary Courts envisaged as comprising three parallel ranges, whereas King William was largely completed centring on an open courtyard by 1707, as later reflected from 1735 by the Queen Mary Court.
