In the course of his life, as a lithographer and architect, he was to become one of the leading designers of the famous London Houses of Parliament, the planners of Guildhall, the former City Hall, as well as many prestigious buildings in London's Fish Market at Custom House Quay and in Westminster St. Johns Wood. The master's lithographs are world famous and highly sought after today by enthusiasts and collectors alike. Bury grew up in a middle-class home devoted to the fine arts. In keeping with his artistic talents, he began studying at the age of only 15 with Augustus Charles Pugin, who at the time enjoyed an excellent reputation as an architect and graphic artist. Pugin was on the one hand an advocate of a new, multi-colored watercolor art and on the other hand a detail-loving designer of the multifaceted neo-Gothic architecture in the early 19th century. Thus equipped with a sound basic knowledge, Thomas Talbot Bury founded his own architectural practice in 1830 in Gerrard Street, now a busy street in London's Soho district. Talbot Bury's affinity for draftsmanship developed from a later friendship with Scottish portrait painter Charles Lee.
Thus, Thomas Talbot Bury produced more and more lithographs and engravings of his own designs, and later of drawings by other contemporary architects and designers such as Owen Jones, who was a renowned proponent of modern English Arts and Crafts design. A collaboration between Bury and Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin, the son of his one-time mentor Augustus Charles Pugin, meanwhile continued to develop. It reached a climax with the submission of joint designs for the new construction of the London Houses of Parliament under the renowned architect and builder Sir Charles Barry. Thomas Talbot Bury's architectural work also included numerous schools, public and private buildings, and church buildings. His lithographs and engravings were exhibited at the Royal Academy, among other places. His thirteen hand-colored drawings for the series "Colored Views of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway", printed by the British-German art patron Rudolf Ackermann, were also highly regarded. In it, the works of Thomas Talbot Bury are considered the most beautiful because of their wonderful colorful radiance. This assessment is shared until our time, after all, the Coloured Views of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway were republished on the occasion of an anniversary in the mid-1970-ies.
In the Institute of British Architects, Bury advanced to vice president, and he was also a leading member of the British heritage society Society of Antiquaries. His artistic and social commitment makes Bury a renowned representative of the British art scene of his time - an era in which Napoleon Bonaparte became emperor, the Industrial Revolution began and during which Johann Wolfgang von Goethe published his humanity parable "Faust". In this context, Thomas Talbot Bury's works are considered synonymous with this period full of upheavals in the 19th century. Bury died in London in February 1877. His grave is in London's West Norwood Cemetery.
