The print showcases an intricate system designed for the House of Peers, located in London's Old Palace Yard. The detailed illustration reveals a sectioned view of the ventilation apparatus, displaying its various components. From fountains and water pipes to valves and chambers, every element is meticulously depicted. Gauze screens are shown strategically placed to filter out impurities while allowing clean air to flow through.

The image showcases not only functional aspects but also highlights architectural details such as ornate ceilings, carpets, and windows that adorn these esteemed halls.
