North View of Arundel House in 1646, 1854. Large mansion near the River Thames in London. 'In the North View, the principal building is the great hall, with its large Tudor windows, and a louvre upon its roof; above the lower buildings we obtain a glimpse of the opposite bank of the Thames. On the left is a cavalcade of riding horses; and, on the right is the Earl's coach, with six horses. One of the Earls Arundel is stated to have introduced the use of coaches, about 1580; but, upon the better authority of Stow, the first coach was used by Queen Elizabeth, in 1564'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
