This impressive panorama is taken from above the Houses of Parliament, looking west. It shows Parliament Square and Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and The Albert Hall in the distance. Oxford was the birthplace of Henry William Brewer, although he spent most of his life in North Kensington. Regarded as one of the finest architectural illustrators of his time, he specialised in panoramic views, such as this.
