Looking up Ludgate Hill or across Trinity Square, the prints from Round London stand the viewer on the streets of the late Victorian capital. The work was published by George Newnes in 1896, and the views include the York Watergate, Newgate Street, Leicester Square, Leadenhall Street, Trinity House and Ludgate Circus. Each caption fixes the observer's position as well as the subject, so the views pair naturally with a contemporary street plan, and façades, road layouts and neighbouring buildings fill out the setting.
