SMITH'S "ANCIENT TOPOGRAPHY OF LONDON" (1815)

Thirty-two etchings of architectural and archaelogical record, including domestic architecture. This series is interesting not only as a record of pre-1800 architecture, but for the human characters enlivening many of the scenes. Some plates specifically record buildings shortly therefter demolished. This series of prints is Series 115 as described by Bernard Adams in London Illustrated 1604-1851. The image below is Houses lately standing on the West corner of Chancery Lane, Fleet Street. These houses were taken down by the Corporation of London in May 1799 to widen Chancery Lane. The grotesque bracketed front and projecting stories date from the reign of Edward VI. The drawing was made in 1789 and carried the publication date of 14 January 1810.

See above for a complete list and access to images of all of the plates.
