JOSEPH NASH JNR (1835-1922)
The Town Hall, Leeds
dated 1859Pencil, watercolour and bodycolour | 30.7 x 44.5 cm (whole object) | RCIN 920246
The Queen opened the new town hall in Leeds in September 1858. She commissioned this souvenir view of the building from the son of one of her and Albert’s favourite artists – possibly as a gesture of support for the family, as the elder Joseph Nash was unwell at the time and unable to work.
