This print shows a scene of St Pancras Wells. It's an etching copied from a rare drawing in the British Museum. The original drawing was twice as large as this print. The artist made this smaller version, which is now at the Victoria and Albert Museum, and to learn more about this kind of printmaking, look into the technique: sfumato.
