- Abstract:
- A view of the stairway at Strawberry Hill, Twickenham, looking up towards the Armory. The ornate railing of the staircase, each post of which is topped with a single antelope supporting a shield, is prominent in the foreground; its winding path up to the landing containing the Armory and further up to the next floor can be traced. On display on the back wall of the Armory is a cluster of weapons and armor, visible between two columns supporting decorative arches on the ceiling. A stained glass window is visible on the left wall of the Armory; armorial shields are seen above the doors to the right of the window. The walls are decorated with Gothic tracery; part of a quatrefoil window is visible at the top of the image
