Description: The engraving forms the frontispiece of "First Impressions or Sketches from Art and Nature, Animate & Inanimate" by J.P. Malcolm F.S.A., 1807. It represents an unfinished house that was erected to form the eastern end of Camden Place (now Camden Crescent). The intermediate ones which were intended to connect it with No. 21, Camden Place were not erected. The house as represented stood proudly by itself from about 1794 until 1809, but it was at length removed, probably by the landlord of the ground it stood upon. Had it been completed it would have been numbered today as 27, Camden Crescent.
