View overlooking the Royal Observatory, Greenwich mb-code 1645942 Turkey and Russia are alsoLandscape from behind the old Royal Observatory building (now known as Flamsteed House) at Greenwich, which appears on the right of the print. The observatory's 60 foot refracting telescope is visible, mounted on a flagpole. Downhill from the observatory is Greenwich and the river Thames. Several figures inhabit the scene including (lower right) an artist in the act of drawing. Plate 7 from Ichnographia speculae Regiae Grenovici exquisite facta
