  Some Illustrations of the Architecture of Claverton and of the Duke's House, Bradford, etc. (1837). The plates were lithographs by Vivian, mostly from architectural drawings by Charles James Richardson (but Richardson was only 14 years old when the Old Manor was destroyed and George Vivian is likely to have made the drawings). Richardson's Observations on the architecture of England during the reigns of Queen Elizabeth and King James I of the same year is a related work having plates in common, dedicated to Vivian, and published by John Weale.
  Spanish Scenery (1838), lithographs by Louis Haghe and others.
  Scenery of Portugal and Spain (1839), lithographs by Louis Haghe, William Day and others.
  Views from the Gardens of Rome and Albano (1848), engravings by James Duffield Harding.
  Harding was a friend, and is considered to have influenced Vivian's style.
  Vivian wrote articles on architecture for the Quarterly Review. John Britton commented favourably in 1840 on his anonymous pamphlet The Prospects of Art in the Future Parliament House from 1835, which presaged the Fine Arts Commission.
