London and Middlesex, or, An historical, commercial, & descriptive survey of the metropolis of Great-Britain : including sketches of its environs, and a topographical account of the most remarkable places in the above county : illustrated with engravings : in two volumes
London and Middlesex, a two-volume topographical survey of the metropolis and its surrounding county, compiled by Edward Wedlake Brayley, James Norris Brewer, Joseph Nightingale and William Wilson and printed in London in 1810 for a group of publishers and general readers. Its pictures are plain engraved views of buildings and streets, drawn in clean outline with strong perspective and little decoration, so a designer might borrow their architectural framing, sky treatment and the sparse hatching used to suggest stone and shadow.
