It seems to me that almost every stately home has a Canaletto. His pictures of Venice are glowingly identifiable - often brought back to England as souvenirs of the Grand Tour. Better than postcards I think you'd have to agree. However my chosen Canaletto is his own souvenir of his trip to London - Westminster Bridge (1750).
