Description: | Venice was one of the stopping off points on the 'Grand Tour', an educational trip taken by well-to-do young man as a completion of their schooling. It originated in the eighteenth century and in the following century it remained a popular tourist destination. E.W. Cooke specialised in detailed drawings and paintings of ships but he also made landscape paintings and city views like this one. He travelled in many places including Spain, North Africa and Scandinavia.
