Prints from The new British Traveller offer an eighteenth-century tour of Great Britain and Ireland, often pairing two town prospects on a single sheet. The work was published in London for Alexander Hogg under George Augustus Walpoole's name, combining topographical text with illustration. City views include Dublin, Glasgow, Norwich, Nottingham and many smaller places, while Thomas Kitchin's county and national maps supply the geography. Castles, cathedrals, ports and country houses share the pages with river views and the English Lakes, and old spellings such as Brighthelmstone keep the flavour of the period.
