London and its environs in the nineteenth century : illustrated by a series of views from original drawings / by Thomas H. Shepherd. With historical, topographical and critical notices. Series the first, comprising the earlier edifices, antiquities, &c.

Engraved t.p., with vignette.
Originally issued in parts between 1829 and 1831; despite the volume's designation as "Series the first" on the t.p., it actually followed the publication of Shepherd's companion volume, "Metropolitan improvements, or, London in the nineteenth century", which appeared in parts between 1827 and 1829. Cf. Ray.
