""De Loutherbourg's landscapes and marine subjects are characterised by romantic feeling, and, although they have a tendency to staginess, are wholly free from vulgarity. His acquaintance with Alpine scenery and his knowledge of the continent generally did not impair his admiration for English landscape. A series of engravings in aquatint of English scenery, from drawings by him, was published in 1801 under the title of Picturesque Scenery of Great Britain, and a second and similar set was issued in 1805"" (DNB). Views include Carisbrooke Castle and the Needles at the Isle of Wight, Ramsgate Harbour, Lake Windermere, Tintern Abbey, Mount Snowdon, Chepstow Castle, Cataracts on the Llugwy and Conway Castle. Plates and text with watermarks of 1801, 1802 and 1805. With second title page in French; accompanying text in both English and French. Abbey Scenery 9. Tooley 305. Only the occasional marginal smudge, images fine, with delicate hand-coloring. An excellent copy of this beautiful folio color-plate book.
