Paired views of British and Irish towns fill prints from Hogg's New British Traveller, credited to George Augustus Walpoole as the name overseeing the work, in issues dated 1784–1794. His role was editorial, so the attribution does not make him the engraver of every plate. Dublin, Glasgow, Perth and Norwich appear beside smaller places, often sharing a sheet with another destination, and the views cover English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish towns, islands, country houses and landscapes. Cathedrals, castles, bridges and harbours recur, and the English Lakes and river prospects take the tour into the countryside.
