Westminster Abbey & Hospital, 1842
His most important work, Picturesque Architecture in Paris, Ghent, Antwerp, Rouen, etc., a collection of colour lithographs, appeared in 1839, attracting a great deal of admiration. Drawn on the stone by Boys and printed by Charles Joseph Hullmandel, it was described in a review in the Polytechnic Journal as "the first successful effort in chroma-lithography hitherto brought to perfection".
King Louis-Philippe sent the artist a ring in recognition of its merits. He also published Original Views of London as it is, drawn and lithographed by himself. He drew the illustrations to Blackie's History of England, and etched some plates for John Ruskin's Stones of Venice. Boys was a member of the Institute of Painters in Water Colours, and of several foreign artistic societies.
Hand coloured lithograph from London As It Is.
