Randolph Schwabe drew streets and buildings whose character could be lost to rebuilding, from Regent Street's Quadrant to the market house at Steyning. The British draughtsman, painter and etcher, who lived from 1885 to 1948, became Professor at the Slade School of Fine Art. His prints here include the Quadrant and Piccadilly Circus from the Disappearing London material of 1927, and later illustrations of 1947 showing Steyning's old market house, the Mill House at Farningham, the view from Wellington Bridge at Dover and Clerkenwell Green.
