Payne (1812 London to 1902 Leipzig) worked in Leipzig from 1838 as a steel engraver, painter and illustrator and founded the Englische Kunstanstalt there, where illustrated works such as "Payne's Orbis Pictus" of 1851 were published. The sign on the second view names the Hotel Kaisershof on the Neß in Hamburg's old town; the city bought the house, built in 1619, in 1726 as an inn for distinguished guests, and after its sale in 1871 the building disappeared from the townscape. Its gable front was re-erected in the inner courtyard of the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg.
