Though it is difficult to imagine this was drawn from life, the detail is rather amazing.
After the plague made London dangerous, Place returned to York and spent the rest of his life centered on his childhood environs. He was part of a circle there, of artists and antiquaries. Below is his home, which still exists, though before Place and his family lived there, it had been part of an abbey, and now, it is part of a university complex.
