"View of Whitehall" is a notable etching by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Bohemian artist known for his detailed landscapes and urban views. Created in 1647, this work captures a panoramic perspective of Whitehall, a central thoroughfare in the City of Westminster, London, during the 17th century. Hollar's etching is significant for its historical value, providing a visual record of the area before the destruction of many of its buildings in the subsequent centuries, including the Palace of Whitehall, which was largely consumed by fire in 1698.

The etching is characterized by its meticulous attention to architectural detail and the bustling activity of the street, offering insights into the daily life and urban environment of London during the English Civil War period. Wenceslaus Hollar, who lived between 1607 and 1677, was renowned for his virtuosity in printmaking and his ability to capture the essence of the places he depicted. "View of Whitehall" is a testament to his skill in rendering complex cityscapes and is an important work within his extensive oeuvre.

As a piece of historical documentation, "View of Whitehall" serves as a valuable resource for historians and art historians alike, providing a snapshot of the past that enriches our understanding of London's architectural and social history. The etching is held in various collections and has been the subject of study for its artistic merit and as an example of Hollar's contribution to the art of etching.
