Description	photograph of engraving; A prominent feature of the Painting is the Goldsmith’s Hall occupying the north-west corner of the Square adjoining the Parliament Hall, on the site which is now the entrance to the Signet Library. The Hall had a relatively short life having been built in 1745 and burnt down in 1796 and thus its presence helps to date the Painting. Goldsmith’s Hall was the headquarters of one of the fourteen Incorporated Trades of the City having separated from the Incorporation of Hammermen in 1687. Under a charter of James VI the Goldsmiths exercised a strict monopoly of their trade.
