Hospitals, parish churches, legal inns and trading houses make these prints by Thomas Higham a close record of London's working institutions in 1817. A landscape engraver and draughtsman who died in 1844, Higham trained under John Greig and engraved architectural and topographical plates for illustrated books, later including work after Turner. Westminster Abbey and Lambeth Palace appear beside Furnival's Inn, the Excise Office, the Auction Mart and the Sessions House at Clerkenwell, and Southwark's older church buildings add another layer of history. Beyond London, a church at Steyning in Sussex completes the collection.
