Intriguingly, it is not just Scottish landmarks that caught Stephen Sly's artistic eye. Join him on a journey through time as he takes us to various corners of England and beyond. In 1844, his skilled hand immortalized The Dog Bill Committee, a captivating scene drawn by Thomas Landseer.

From religious sanctuaries to vibrant street scenes like Palm Sunday in Spitalfields - an unknown creator's masterpiece - Sly effortlessly transports us from one world to another. The Lord Mayors Show becomes a spectacle under Sly's gaze; ancient knights parade proudly while "The Man in Brass" captivates all who lay eyes upon him during this festive event held also in 1844. Venturing further afield with his artistry, we find ourselves amidst Aden - known as "The Gibraltar of the Red Sea. " Here, Stephen Sly masterfully captures its rugged beauty and strategic significance for all admirers back home. No realm seems too distant or inaccessible for our intrepid artist; even royalty falls under his spell. Witness Her Majesty inspecting Mr. Tite's models of the Royal Exchange within The Queen's Drawing Room - an exquisite moment captured forever by Stephen Sly himself.
