[can-talk] Buildings on scrimshaw identified!

Thank you to everyone who responded to my request for information about 
neoclassical buildings on scrimshaw. 

After researching all of the suggestions I have concluded the following. 
The engravings were copied from published lithographs, hence the great 
detail and accuracy. The buildings are: the University of College London 
main building, designed by William Wilkins, 1827 (domed building) and the 
Mint, Tower Hill, designed by James Johnson and Robert Smirke, 1809 
(pedimented building).

Have a look at the accompanying images to see for yourself.




Thank you again for providing information on items in the collection of 
the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery.


Best wishes

Peta
