After serving his apprenticeship with the line-engraver, James Basire senior, George assisted his brother on plates for The beauties of England and Wales. Between 1814 and 1826 he was engaged on 15 plates for his brother s Picturesque views on the southern coast of England, based largely on drawings by Turner. He also did engravings from Turner water colours for the Picturesque tour of Italy (1820) and produced illustrations for a number of travel books and English county histories. However, Cooke s cherished project was this series of 48 views of London and its environs and he persuaded a number of distinguished fellow artists to supplement the contributions of himself and his son.
