| Old Houses, Ship Yard, Temple Bar, circa 1761, from a plate in Wilkinson’s Londina Illustrata | 4 |
| The Lord Mayor’s Show. From the picture by Hogarth | 19 |
| Temple Bar, 1746, copied from an undated print published soon after the execution of the rebel adherents of the young Pretender. The view is surrounded by an emblematic framework, and contains representations of the heads of Townley and Fletcher, remarkable as the last so exposed; they remained there till 1772 | 23 |
| St. Clement’s Church and the Strand in 1753, from a print by I. Maurer | 25 |
| Two Views of Arundel House, 1646, after Hollar. These views, unique of their kind, are particularly valuable for the clear idea they give of a noble London mansion of the period. Arundel House retains many ancient features, particularly in its dining-hall, which, with the brick residence for the noble owner, is the only dignified portion of the building. The rest has the character of an inn-yard—a mere collection of ill-connected outhouses and stabling. The shed with the tall square window in the roof was the depository of the famous collection of pictures and antiques made by the renowned Earl, part of which still forms the Arundel Collection at Oxford | 40, 41 |
| Penn’s House, Norfolk Street, 1749, from a view by J. Buck. The view is taken from the river, looking up Norfolk Street to a range of old houses, still standing, in the Strand. Penn’s house was the last on the west side of the street (to the spectator’s left), overlooking the water | 55 |
| Somerset House from the River, 1746, from an engraving by I. Knyff. Upon a barge moored in the river is seen the famous coffee-house known as “The Folly,” which, originally used as a musical summer-house, ended in being the resort of depravity | 56 |
| Strand Front of Somerset House, 1777, from a large engraving after I. Moss | 80 |
| Jacob Tonson’s Book-shop, 1742, from an etching by Benoist. The shop of this famous bibliopole was opposite Catherine Street. The view is obtained from the background of the print representing a burlesque procession of Masons, got up by some humourist in ridicule of the craft | 82 |
| Old Houses in the Strand, 1742, copied from the same print as the preceding view. These houses stood on the site of the present Wellington Street | 104 |
| The Savoy, from the Thames, in 1650, after Hollar | 106 |
| The Savoy Chapel, from an original drawing | 119 |
| The Savoy Prison, 1793, from an etching by J. T. Smith | 125 |
| Durham House, 1790, from an etching by J. T. Smith | 126 |
| The Water Gate, 1860, from a Sketch | 133 |
| York Stairs and surrounding Buildings, circa 1745, after an original drawing by Canaletti in the British Museum. This is one of the few interesting views of Old London sketched by Canaletti during his short stay in England. It comprises the famous water-gate designed by Inigo Jones, and the tall wooden tower of the York Buildings Water Company. The large mansion behind this (at the south-west corner of Buckingham Street) was that inhabited by Pepys from 1684, and in which he entertained the members of the Royal Society during his presidency. The house at the opposite corner (seen above the trees) is that in which the Czar Peter the Great resided for some time, when he visited England for instruction in shipbuilding | 144 |
| Crockford’s Fish-shop, from an original sketch | 146 |
| The Old Roman Bath, from a drawing | 169 |
| Exeter Change, 1821, from an etching by Cooke | 188 |
| Titus Oates in the Pillory, from an anonymous contemporary Dutch engraving | 190 |
| The King’s Mews, 1750, from a print by I. Maurer. This building, erected in 1732 at the expense of King George II., was pulled down in 1830. In the foreground of this view the King is represented returning to his carriage after inspecting his horses | 238 |
| Barrack and Old Houses on the site of Trafalgar Square in 1826, from an original sketch by F. W. Fairholt. The view is taken from St. Martin’s Church, looking toward Pall Mall; the building in the distance, to the left, is the College of Physicians | 239 |
| Old Slaughter’s Coffee-house, 1826, from an original sketch by F. W. Fairholt | 260 |
| Salisbury and Worcester Houses in 1630, from a drawing by Hollar in the Pepysian Library, Cambridge | 262 |
| Lyon’s Inn, 1804, from an engraving in Herbert’s History of the Inns of Court | 286 |
| Craven House, 1790, from an original drawing in the British Museum | 287 |
| Drury Lane Theatre, 1806, from an original drawing by Pugin. This was the third theatre, succeeding Garrick’s. It was built by Henry Holland, opened March 12, 1794, and burnt down Feb. 24, 1809. It was never properly finished on the side toward Catherine Street, where this view was taken | 347 |
| Church Lane and Dyot Street, from an original sketch by F. W. Fairholt | 349 |
| The Seven Dials, from an original sketch by F. W. Fairholt | 386 |
| Lincoln’s Inn Fields Theatre in 1821, from an original sketch by F. W. Fairholt | 387 |
| The Black Jack, Portsmouth Street, Lincoln’s Inn Fields, from an original sketch by F. W. Fairholt. This public-house was the resort of the actors from the theatre, and among them Joe Miller, who was buried in the graveyard close by, where the hospital now stands. The house was also frequented by Jack Sheppard, and was sometimes termed “The Jump,” from the circumstance of his having once jumped from one of the first-floor windows to escape from officers of justice | 441 |
