Halifax from South East.

Halifax from South East. View of Halifax from the south east, possible from Stoney Royd or Siddal. The view seems to be that of the early 18th century town, only a few signs of mills and chimneys, at an early stage of industrialisation. The Parish Church is to the right of the picture.




Very few details on the print - just the title and "Kirkwood Sculp." (Kirkwood Sculpsit - Kirkwood he engraved it), Kirkwood being the engraver of the printing plate. No details of the original artist.
