Clergyman, schoolmaster and writer on aesthetics, William Gilpin
(1724 1804) is best known for his works on the picturesque. In his
Essay on Prints, published in 1768 and reissued in this series, he
defined picturesque as 'a term expressive of that peculiar kind of
beauty, which is agreeable in a picture'. First published in 1809,
the present work is one of a series which records his reflections
on the picturesque across British landscapes. It traces two
journeys he made equipped with notebook and sketching materials:
the first in 1769 across East Anglia, and the second in 1773 from
Anglesey south-east to Shrewsbury. He describes his impression of
notable sites such as Cambridge, Houghton Hall and its art
collection, Beaumaris Castle and Snowdon, and includes
reproductions of his pen-and-wash drawings. The companion volumes
of Observations on other parts of Britain are also reissued in the
Cambridge Library Collection."
