Falcon Glass House Holland Street Blackfriars
This dramatic industrial scene of glass-blowing depicts the Falcon Glass House in Holland Street, Blackfriars. The company was established in 1693, and was run by the Pellatt family from 1790. Under Apsley Pellatt IV, who presented this print for inclusion in Brayley’s History of Surrey (1841-1848), it became the largest glassworks in the city during the early nineteenth century. The Museum of London has an oil painting closely related to this image.
