The Great Fire of London (Large Print)
by Rnib BookshareThis page shows an image of some Tudor houses on fire. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The image is surrounded by an image border. There is the front of a house in the centre of the page and part of the ends of two houses to the left and right. They are typical half-timbered Tudor houses made with vertical, horizontal and some diagonal timbers. The house on the left had three floors. The ground floor in the bottom left of the page has a window with flames coming out of it. The middle floor has a window on the left only partly shown. The fire inside the building can be found. To the right most of this part of the building has burnt away. Most of the top floor has burnt away. There are just a few timbers left. The roof has all has burnt away apart from a few timbers. The house in the middle of the page has three floors. The ground floor in the bottom centre of the page has a door with a window to the left and right. It has not yet caught fire. The middle floor in the centre of the page has two larger windows to the left and right. The window to the left shows a fire inside and the window to the right has flames coming out. It has a bigger floor area so it sticks out slightly on the left and right from the ground floor. The top floor has three smaller square windows. The window to the right and the wall around it has burnt away. There are huge flames going up into the dark sky here. Some of the wall to the left has burnt away as well. The window to the left and the middle window show the rooms are on fire inside. It has a bigger floor area again so it sticks out slightly on the left and right from the middle floor. Only the middle section of the tiled roof at the top of the house remains. To the left and right, charred roof timbers can be found. This house is taller than the one on the left. The house on the right has two floors. The ground floor in the bottom right of the page has a large square window. It shows the room inside is on fire. The top floor had two smaller windows. The windows and the wall around them are badly burnt. To the left a third window, (which cannot be found) has flames coming out and reaching towards the middle house. To the left it has a bigger floor area so it sticks out slightly on the left from the ground floor. Up and to the left and right, charred roof timbers can be found, these are all that is left of the roof. Huge flames shoot up into the sky from the top floor and roof. This house is the smallest of three houses. Tudor houses were made from timber beams, and wattle and daub which is a woven lattice of wooden sticks covered with plaster and pitch. These are all very inflammable material. The content of the houses was also flammable - straw, tallow, pitch and firewood. The houses were built close together and got closer together the higher they got. When a small fire accidently started in a bakehouse in Pudding Lane, it was inevitable it would spread rapidly.

There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. There is the complete but simplified mosaic on the left of the page and a detail showing the tiles that make up part of the mosaic on the right of the page. A traditional Roman mosaic is made of a great number of differently coloured tile fragments. In the image on the right the tiles are shown significantly larger than in real life so it will work tactually. The diagram on the left shows an image of a duck seen from the side facing left, both legs can be found but only one eye and wing is shown. It is surrounded by decorative fronds and vine leaves. The ducks head is towards the top left of the image with the beak pointing left and down. From the head the neck curves down and left to the body. At the base of the neck there is a part ring of white. In the centre of the body a bolder line that curves down and right represents the wing. Towards the tail on the right there is a patch of paler colour. Down from the body are the two legs and wide feet. On the left of the image is an area representing leaves. From them come curling tendrils in two shades of green - dashed and solid lines. To the right of the ducks head is a circular flower head. It has various rings of colour getting smaller to the centre. A wiggly stem goes down and right to the edge of the image. Halfway along it has a leaf up and down from the stem. At the bottom right are more vine leaves and one decorative frond. A line of very dark green tiles surrounds the image. At the top and bottom these are two tiles wide. An image border surrounds the image on the right. Most of the image is the duck enlarged from the image on the left. The duck fills the centre of the image and is shown in tiles, mainly a green colour. The ducks head is in the top left of the image with the beak pointing left and down. The beak is made from red-brown tiles. In the centre of the head is an eye made from a single dark blue tile. It is surrounded by white tiles. From the head the neck curves down and left to the body. At the base of the neck there is a part ring of white fringed with very dark blue tiles above and below it. In the centre of the body a bolder line of tiles that curves down and right represents the wing. At the start of this line up and down the page are pale yellow-green tiles. Towards the tail on the right there is a patch of paler coloured tiles. The breast of the bird is in red-brown tiles. Down from the body are the two legs and wide feet. The one to the left is of green tiles but the one to the right is of red-brown tiles. In the top right of the image is the flower head. In the centre is a dark brown tile surrounded by four white tiles. Pale yellow green tiles surround this. The outer edge of the flower head is a ring of alternating red-brown and white tiles. A line of dark green tiles goes from the bottom right of the flower head to the centre right of the image, these represent the flower stem. Dark green tiles up and down from this represent parts of leaves. The background to the image, surrounding the duck and flower, is a mass of small ivory coloured tiles. For clarity these are not shown. The mosaic dates from the 3rd to 5th century. It was found in Tunis, Tunisia. The artist is unknown.

The diagram on the left shows an image of a duck seen from the side facing left, both legs can be found but only one eye and wing is shown. It is surrounded by decorative fronds and vine leaves. The ducks head is towards the top left of the image with the beak pointing left and down. From the head the neck curves down and left to the body. At the base of the neck there is a part ring of white. In the centre of the body a bolder line that curves down and right represents the wing. Towards the tail on the right there is a patch of paler colour. Down from the body are the two legs and wide feet. On the left of the image is an area representing leaves. From them come curling tendrils in two shades of green - dashed and solid lines. To the right of the ducks head is a circular flower head. It has various rings of colour getting smaller to the centre. A wiggly stem goes down and right to the edge of the image. Halfway along it has a leaf up and down from the stem. At the bottom right are more vine leaves and one decorative frond. A line of very dark green tiles surrounds the image. At the top and bottom these are two tiles wide. An image border surrounds the image on the right. Most of the image is the duck enlarged from the image on the left. The duck fills the centre of the image and is shown in tiles, mainly a green colour. The ducks head is in the top left of the image with the beak pointing left and down. The beak is made from red-brown tiles. In the centre of the head is an eye made from a single dark blue tile. It is surrounded by white tiles. From the head the neck curves down and left to the body. At the base of the neck there is a part ring of white fringed with very dark blue tiles above and below it. In the centre of the body a bolder line of tiles that curves down and right represents the wing. At the start of this line up and down the page are pale yellow-green tiles. Towards the tail on the right there is a patch of paler coloured tiles. The breast of the bird is in red-brown tiles. Down from the body are the two legs and wide feet. The one to the left is of green tiles but the one to the right is of red-brown tiles. In the top right of the image is the flower head.
