Sepia-toned elevated view of the British Museum on Great Russell Street, London, showing the full sweep of the southern facade — the iconic Greek Revival colonnade of 44 Ionic columns designed by Robert Smirke, with the central pedimented portico visible at center. The broad forecourt with its iron railings along Great Russell Street is shown in the foreground right, with period pedestrians walking along the pavement. The image conveys the monumental scale of one of the world's great institutions.
