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 1789,
this two-volume work forms part of a series which records his
reflections on the picturesque across British landscapes. It traces
the journey he made in 1776, equipped with notebook and sketching
materials, exploring the landscape of the Scottish Highlands via
northern England, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Reproductions of his
pen-and-wash drawings are included. The companion volumes of
Gilpin's Observations on other parts of Britain are also reissued
in the Cambridge Library Collection. Volume 1 of the present work
takes in such notable sites as Holyrood Palace, Stirling Castle,
the Grampian Mountains and Glencoe."
