Parish churches, ruined castles and an Italian town after the eruption of Vesuvius are among the subjects of the prints by J. Barnett, topographical engravings of the late 1810s and early 1820s. Churches appear often, from Marston Magna and East Meon to All Saints and St Martin's at Carfax in Oxford. Nottingham Castle's lodge and the remains of Kilcolman Castle in Ireland supply ruined secular buildings, and Torre del Greco takes the series to Italy. The Gentleman's Magazine is a documented source, and Barnett's signature records his role as engraver.
