Description: | This is a view of Thomas Bewick's birthplace, Cherryburn House, near Mickley in Northumberland. It was drawn and engraved by Thomas' brother John in 1781 but finished after John's death by Thomas. Today, Cherryburn is a National Trust property. The view shows the orchard at the back of the house looking to the west. At the gable end of the cottage we see the little window 'at Bewick's bed head' mentioned in his autobiographical book 'A Memoir'. From this window, he studied the changing seasons, so often incorporated in his scenes of North Country life. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1781 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | John Bewick | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/discoveringb... | Go to resource |
