Also visible is the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral. Published in London circa 1760 this engraving is one of a series of images that were called optical views or perspectives. They originated in the early eighteenth century as part of the thriving topographical print market in cities such as Paris and London. As monied tourists traveled Europe these views became increasingly popular as souvenirs. After a trip abroad it was common practice among the wealthy denizens of London and Paris to produce "perspectives" after a dinner party. The views were enjoyed with the aid of a device known as a zograscope while the hosts regaled their company with travel tales. unknown

Sarah Whitehead; The Bank Nun or the Lady in Black
London 1820. Lithograph with handcoloring in watercolor 9 x 6 1/2 inches 230 x 165 mm full margins. Light pencil inscriptions in the lower margins which are largely illegible. Light handling wear and some surface soiling otherwise in good condition with beautiful saturated watercolor work in the area of the subject's face. Whitehead's brother Philip was employed by the Bank of England from 1797 to 1810. During his employment at the Bank Philip Whitehead "adopted an extravagant lifestyle" and evidence came to light that he had defrauded Robarts & Co. by "forging an acceptance to a Bill." He was charged with forgery in 1811 and executed on 29 January 1812. The news of her brother's conviction was kept from his sister Sarah as long as possible. Learning of the execution Sarah Whitehead's mental health became unstable and she began to visit the Bank daily asking if Phillip was there. This continued until 1818 when the Directors offered Whitehead a financial grant on the condition that she stopped coming to the bank. Whitehead wore black crepe clothing which was a sign of mourning and as a result became known as the "Black Nun." To this day Whitehead's ghost reputedly haunts the Bank of England as well as the area on Threadneedle Street nearby. The myth of Whitehead's ghost appears in the poem New Year Letter by W. H. Auden. unknown
