Panorama, Leicester Square : now exhibiting in the lower circle, the splendid view of Paris taken by Mr. H.A. Barker in 1802 : the approbation this view has met with, both for accuracy and grandeur, has induced him to re-open it for a few months previous to exhibiting a view of Grand Cairo, taken by Mr. Salt, who travelled with Lord Valentia, and is now painting by Mr. H.A. Barker.
