From capturing the power of a Blenkinsop Locomotive at a Yorkshire Colliery in 1814 to depicting the grandeur of The Horse Guards & Melbourne House in c1821, Havell's art transports us to different eras. In 1946, he mesmerized viewers with "The Valley of the Jumna Showing the Two Grand Peaks of Bunder Punch, " showcasing his ability to bring distant lands to life on canvas. And who could forget his stunning portrayal of The Tower of London in c1821? Havell's attention to detail immerses us in historical moments. His mastery extended beyond architecture as well.

Throughout his career, Havell painted numerous views of London—each one unique and evocative. One such example is his breathtaking "View of London" from 1816; it allows us a glimpse into bustling city life during that time. But perhaps one of Havell's most intriguing works is "Cloth Dressers" from 1814—a piece that offers insight into forgotten trades and crafts while highlighting their importance within society.
