Holland House and its Gilt Room, Campden House and the Round Pond in the palace gardens show Kensington as it was in 1820, before much Victorian rebuilding. The prints come from Thomas Faulkner's parish history, printed by D. Jacques in Chelsea for a group of London booksellers, with a map of the parish. They include the Royal Palace, the High Street, the old St Mary Abbots church and its interior, Noel House, the National School and a conduit associated with Henry VIII, with lithographic work credited to Catherine Haggitt and James Scott among the engravers. Edward Orme's aquatint of Bayswater Chapel adds a third printing process.
