Pugin produced views of London, jointly creating the illustrations for the
Microcosm of London (1808–1811) published by
Rudolph Ackermann, followed by plates for Ackermann's books about
Westminster Abbey,
Oxford and
Cambridge universities, and
Winchester College. He often collaborated with other artists, notably
Thomas Rowlandson. His later works included illustrations for
Specimens of Gothic Architecture (1821–1823),
The Royal Pavilion at Brighton (1826),
Architectural Antiquities of Great Britain (1826),
Specimens of the Architectural Antiquities of Normandy (1827),
Illustrations of the Public Buildings of London (1825 to 1828),
Paris and its Environs (1829 to 1831), and
Examples of Gothic Architecture (1831). He also produced a book of furniture designs called
Gothic Furniture, and assisted architects with detailing for their gothic designs. He ran a drawing school at his house in Great Russell Street,
Bloomsbury. His students included
W. Lake Price,
James Pennethorne,
Talbot Bury,
J. D'Egville,
B. Ferrey, the architects Francis T. Dollman and
Benjamin Green, and the comedian
Charles James Mathews. Pugin, along with J. Morgan, also designed the
diorama building in Regent's Park in 1823, to house and display the Dioramas of
Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre (1787–1851), a year after the debut of his Paris original in 1822. These exhibitions in London displayed eight of the Daguerre Dioramas (1823–1832), which were also exhibited on tour in Liverpool, Manchester, Dublin and Edinburgh (1825–1836). Pugin married Catherine Welby of the Lincolnshire Welby family of
Denton and his developing interest in the Gothic was to be magnified in the career of their son
Augustus Welby Pugin, an architect who was the leading advocate of Gothicism in 19th century England and the designer of the
Palace of Westminster, home of the United Kingdom Parliament. Catherine Welby's brother Adlard Welby was great-great-grandfather to
Joyce Lussu and
Max Salvadori. His son also sometimes assisted him in some of his publications. ==References==
