Title: Remains of Netley Abbey, Hants [Go to resource]
Description: A view of the picturesque and romantic ruins of Netley Abbey drawn and engraved by John Coney. It comes from his 'Views of English Abbeys and Cathedrals', published 1815-29. Colonel Grant considered John Coney (1786-1833) to be an amazing architectural draughtsman. "It is not too much to style John Coney a great artist and a greater craftsman, and it is extraordinary that his wonderful labours are so little remembered to-day. But even in his lifetime they were not highly enough valued to preserve the Master from poverty, an unhappy end, and a destitute widow." Coney was originally apprenticed to an architect.
