VINTAGESTAN BOOKS Title: A Prospect of Britain. The Town Panoramas of Samuel and Nathaniel Buck by Ralph Hyde Summary: Every year, from 1728 to 1753, the brothers Samuel and Nathaniel Buck travelled the length and breadth of England and Wales, producing a series of panoramic views of cities and towns, such as St Paul's Cathedral and London Bridge. The works often included ancillary details, from grazing sheep to figures of drunken sailors and picnicking gentry.
