Killarney and Connemara, Bath's Pulteney Bridge and Bristol Cathedral are among the British and Irish scenes in prints by W. Harvey, most of them from the middle decades of the nineteenth century. Landmarks are often framed by rivers, harbours or rising ground, and the range runs from Dover and Devonport to the commercial streets of Leeds, Newcastle and Glasgow, while his Shakespearean material takes in the Henley Street house in Stratford-upon-Avon. Buildings are shown with the activity around them, so that a cathedral, a coastal outlook and a busy street each call for a different arrangement of foreground and distance.
