His sale, Sotheby's, London, 19 November 1992, lot 294 (as Circle of Thomas Malton II)
The Collection of John P. Foster, Surveyor of the Fabric of Westminster Abbey (1973-88), and thence by descent to the present owner

Many of Malton's London views were made in preparation for publication in aquatint in his 1792 series Picturesque Tour through the Cities of London and Westminster. He is believed to have collaborated with other artists such as Francis Wheatley to paint the figures, which probably accounts for the considerable variation in their quality between different watercolours. Another version of this composition by Malton, taken from a slightly different angle, was sold at Phillips, London, 21 November 1988, lot 20, for £16,500.
