About this work

This print shows what’s left of a tennis court after a big fire. The scene is honest and shows ruins, not pretty details. The artist printed it in 1811 to mark the damage. Wilkinson made this print right after the fire in 1809. It’s one of many maps and views he sold in London. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this one.
