Description: | Colour lithograph . This image was reproduced on a small scale and in an oblong format within ‘The Beauties of Lyme Regis, Charmouth, the Land-Slip and their vicinities; topographically and historically considered’ written by H. Rowland Brown and published by Daniel Dunster in 1857. (Dunster also published and sold this larger lithographic print.) The book included a description of the view:
‘Gradually the landscape is opening before us, and standing at length on the brow of the hill, we obtain a first glimpse of the town of Lyme Regis, sunning itself in a deep hollow of a delightful point of the great West Bay… in close proximity to the clustering houses of the town, we notice several beautiful green slopes and verdant pastures, dotted by the white walls and gaily painted verhandahs [sic] of many a charming marine villa. There is too, the old square tower of its parish church, dedicated to Saint Michael… We then turn towards the town, observing that curious specimen of the ingenuity of man, its artifical [sic] Harbour, called Cobb.’ | Subjects: | hill harbour cow house gate field topography seascape/coastal scene woman landscape C19th path hedgerow townscape/cityscape man | Temporal: | c.1840; 1850/1857 | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | J Hawkins (Lithographer) | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
