The Anchor Tavern on Bankside, the Euston Arch and Rupert Street market in Soho are among the subjects in these prints by Ernest Brander Musman (1888–1972), the British architect and artist whose practice became particularly associated with public houses. His drawings recorded old buildings and streets for illustrated books, and these are reproductions published in Recording Britain and The Londoner’s England in the later 1940s, not the original watercolours. Besides the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, he drew the Yorkshire towns of Richmond, with Castle Terrace, Middleham, with streets near the castle, and Reeth, as well as a street in Ludlow.
