Description: | volume: 55.0 x 37cm CRE SCOTT, David; (Scottish; 1806-1849) stored with a volume of 25 etchings and 26 pages of text by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. It also includes the etched bookplate of William Bell Scott, the artist's brother.
David Scott was the first artist to illustrate "The Ancient Mariner" and planned the project with the cooperation of the author in 1831. Difficulties over finding a publisher led to a delay in actual publication until 1837. The etchings were much admired by the poet and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti for their truth to the spirit of the poetry. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | POETRY : ILLUSTRATION : ANCIENT MARINER : VOLUME : FRONTISPIECE : SEAL : SEA GULL : SCOTTISH 19TH CENTURY : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
