Pyne became a writer and painter. In 1805, the publisher, William Miller, commissioned him to write and illustrate The Costume of Great Britain. The book included 60 full-page paintings of professional and working-class men and women and scenes from everyday life. Rudolf Ackermann, the successful London publisher, impressed by the book, asked Pyne to work on a series of new books called The Microcosm of London. Pyne wrote the text and helped Thomas Rowlandson and Augustus Pugin with the illustrations. As well as book illustrations, Pyne wrote for several journals such as the Literary Gazette and Fraser's Magazine. In the 1830s Pyne found it more difficult to sell his work, dying impoverished, in 1843. ; B&W Illustrations; 7 1/4 x 10 1/2; 264 pages; Cover has light sunning and shelf wear, small, faint stain on title pastedown.
