Wren churches, the chambers of Parliament and the hospitals and great houses of Georgian London fill these prints by Walter Harrison, printed in 1775 and 1776. The views show Middlesex Hospital on Mortimer Street, Bedford House in Bloomsbury, the royal stables near St Martin-in-the-Fields, and the House of Commons, the House of Lords and the Ordnance Office in Westminster. Among the Wren churches are St James Garlickhithe, St Nicholas Cole Abbey and St Stephen Walbrook, and there are parish churches in Stoke Newington, Hackney and Bethnal Green. The maps include the parliamentary fortifications of London of 1642 to 1643 and John Evelyn's scheme for rebuilding after the Great Fire of 1666.
