Shepherd ------- London & Its environs in the Nineteenth Century Illustrated by a Series of Views from Original Drawings. With Historical, Topographical and Critical Notices. Series the First, Comprising the Earlier Edifices, Antiquities, &c Published by Jones & Co., London, 1829. Thomas Hosmer Shepherd was a British printmaker and painter. The son of an architectural draftsman, he was employed by Frederick Crace to make a large series of drawings of London. Many of his drawings were made into prints. They are characterized by precise observation and most contain figures, carriages or boats, giving the sense of daily life taking place. Dozens of Shepherd's drawings and prints are in the collection of the Guildhall Library and Art Gallery in London, including several of the Bank of England, although not this particular print. Thomas Hosmer Shepherd[1] (1792–1864) was a topographical watercolour artist well known for his architectural paintings. Life and work Thomas was the brother of topographical artist George "Sidney" Shepherd,[2] Thomas was employed to illustrate architecture in London, and later Edinburgh, Bath and Bristol. His paintings were the basis for steel engravings in many books (see bibliography). Shepherd's work, mostly topographical, is characterized by an attention to detail, along with lifelike scenes that contained people, carriages and horses. His first acclaim came with Metropolitan improvements, a publication of modern London architecture commissioned by Jones & Co. He worked mostly for Frederick Crace, who employed him to paint old London buildings prior to their demolition, with much of the work surviving in the Crace collection at the British Museum
