Hyderabad beside Ilfracombe, Madrid beside Manchester: these prints by W. M. R. Quick come from Beeton's Dictionary of Geography of 1870, where views were grouped on a sheet because their names fell together in the alphabet. Quick compressed recognisable buildings, terrain and waterfronts into small engravings, with Inkerman joining Ilfracombe and Hyderabad, and Magdeburg completing the Madrid and Manchester sheet. Other plates show the Italian lakes, Florence, Caribbean fortifications and the ports of Oporto, Ottawa and New Orleans.
