View of Old London Bridge, by Claude de Jongh from Kenwood, Hampstead Lane,Hampstead, London: Dendrochronological Analysis of Oak Boards
Author(s): Ian Tyers
A tree-ring assessment, measurement, and analysis programme was commissioned on the View of Old London Bridge panel painting exhibited at Kenwood House, Hampstead, London. The Old London Bridge panel comprises two horizontal oak boards. Direct tree-ring measurement was undertaken on these boards whilst the panel was undergoing conservation treatment in June 2010. The results identified that one of the two oak boards was derived from a timber imported from the eastern Baltic. This timber was felled after AD 1586.
