Object history | The house in this print stood in Mare Street at the corner of Dalston Lane, Hackney. It seems to have belonged to John Ward MP, who was convicted of forgery in 1726 and expelled from Parliament. 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. |
