Humphry Repton's design for a dining room at the Royal Pavilion, Brighton which, despite having the same Mughal influences, was never implemented.

The Prince's money problems caused the project to be shelved, but John Nash made use of Repton's proposals when he finally redeveloped the building from 1814.

David Laing (1774-1856) built the New Custom House in 1817 publishing a book chronicling his problems with the foundations the next year. Subsidence caused the building to collapse in 1825, causing the ruin of Laing's business. The view is from a series of eighteen 'Views of London' published by Ackermann between 1811 and 1822, engraved mostly from paintings by John Gendall and Thomas Shepherd; it is likely that one of these artists sketched Laing's drawing for engraving.
