Object history
The Black and White House, on the junction of Mare Street and Morning Lane in Hackney, was built in 1578. In the 17th century it was the residence of the Vyner family, and was later a girls’ boarding school. It was demolished in the late 18th century.

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.
