Coronelli’s Views of Whitehall & St Paul’s Cathedral Printed Area Measurement_25 x 33 cm aqueducts and water tanks (‘brackish’This view is from 'Isolario dell'Atlante Veneto', perhaps the last of the great Italian island books. If Coronellis St Pauls differs somewhat from the cathedral we know, it is worth bearing in mind that Wrens building only came into use in 1697 and was officially completed in 1708. Condition & Materials Copper engraving, 43 x 27 cm, black and white, restoration to elaborate border dividing the two images (3 x 0. 4 cm hole neatly closed), blank verso.
