Textual Description
A detail from Wenceslaus Hollar's Long View of London (1647) showing the second Globe, rebuilt on or near the original foundations with a tiled roof. Its label on the map is erroneously switched with that of the nearby Bear Garden, which is mislabeled 'The Globe.' A smaller supplemental structure, possibly a tap-house or dwelling, is visible on the S side of the building.
