Views show St Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, Lambeth Palace and parish churches inside and out, and maps set out the City wards and the country twenty miles around. Portraits include early civic figures such as Henry fitz Alwin, and riverside views follow the Thames from Greenwich to Putney, Fulham, Chiswick, Kew, Richmond and Hampton Court.
