the collection includes several works whose purchase was supported by the art fund. a panoramic view of bath from beechen cliff, by charles joseph hullmandel and dating from 1824 shows bath as a still relatively small city, after its georgian growth, but before the arrival of the railway and victorian expansion. a slightly later panorama (1833) by joseph william allen (1803–1852) is of bath from lyncombe hill, on the present site of 6 carlton road, and includes a gabled house in the immediate centre foreground which still stands and is reputed to have been the house in which alexander pope once stayed.
