The first London exhibition opened in 1820 but moved to Regent Street in May 1823 where adequate natural lighting was available. During the first few years, scenes were changed once a month. The present catalogue contains descriptions of seven exhibits, of which the first and longest is devoted to a view of Mont Blanc (pp. 3-5). There follow two descriptions of the Palace of Versailles, one of the Palace of the Sultana Hadidge in Constantinople, "The Passage of the Quindu in the Andes", and two descriptions of the Cordova and its cathedral.

It was the inspiration for the 1948 English film Blanche Fury. The victims, Isaac Jermy and his son Isaac Jermy were shot and killed on the porch and in the hallway of their mansion, Stanfield Hall, Norwich. The perpetrator, James Bloomfield Rush (1800?1849), their delinquent tenant-farmer, who had conducted a complex, devious scheme to defraud them of their property and their lives, was hanged at Norwich Castle on 21 April 1849.
