| Object history | Victoria Park, in the East End of London, was laid out by James Pennethorne and opened to the public in 1845. The initial planning for the park was carried out by Pennythorne and Thomas Chawner as official architects to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. This object was part of the John Edmund Gardner collection of topographical prints and drawings of London. After Gardner's death the collection passed to his son Edmund Thomas, but was sold to Edward Coates MP in 1910. The collection was sold again in 1923 after Coates' death, and was split between various institutions and private collectors. The portion connected with Hoxton, Homerton, Hackney and Bethnal Green was bought by the Hon. Arthur Villiers and donated to the Bethnal Green Museum. |
| Production | This plan was issued in the 18th report of the Commission of Wood, Forests and Land Revenues. |
