Skating in Hyde Park, the Palm House at Kew and the Boat Race seen from Barnes Bridge show London at leisure in prints published by Cassell & Co. The publisher is represented here by illustrations dated 1896–1901 rather than by the work of one named artist. The subjects also include the Temple Church, Greenwich Hospital and the York Watergate, ranging over interiors, gardens, riverside buildings and public activity. Costume, surrounding buildings and the arrangement of each scene repay a close look beyond the principal subject.
