Description: | RH inscr on plate b.c. "Part of the remains of Llanphor near Pembroke"; inscr on plate t. c. "VII" CRE SANDBY, Paul; (English; 1725-1809) This is plate VII out of XII of a complete early proofs set prior to both Boydell and Sandby imprints, 1774-75. It shows the ruins of the Bishop's Palace at Lamphey, and a harvesting scene in the foreground. Sandby's "Twelve Views of South Wales" were the result of his 1771 tour of South Wales with Sir Joseph Banks and the Hon. Charles Greville, to whom he dedicated his set. Among the first aquatints published in England, the twelve views launched the popularity of Wales as a picturesque sketching location, coming into fashion with the beginning of the Romantic Movement. | 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: | LANDSCAPE : FIRST WELSH SET : PICTURESQUE : WALES : PROOF : RUIN : ARCHED WINDOW : HARVEST : OXEN : WAGON : TURRET : BISHOP'S PALACE : | 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 |
