Details
Scotland in the Industrial Revolution
John Clark, 1823-1825
SCOTLAND – CLARK, John Heaviside (1770-1863). [Views in Scotland. London: Smith, Elder & Co, 1823-1825].
Eighteen views of Scotland during the Industrial Revolution. The Scottish-born Clark earned fame as a painter of English landscapes, and his talents as an engraver are on display in the present series. Abbey suggests that the plates appeared in parts, and no general title-page was ever issued; no complete copy traced in auction records of the last 50 years. The sweeping views here comprise Inverary, Hamilton, Aberdeen, Port-Glasgow, Ayr, Peebles, Jedburgh, Dundee, St Andrews, Stirling, Linlithgow, Dunkeld, Elgin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Renfrew, Dingwall, and Inverness. Abbey Scenery 489.
Oblong folio (680 x 500mm). 18 (of 35) hand-colored aquatint plates of various sizes mounted on guards, some with central fold (some marginal repairs and soiling, one or two instances of wrinkling or abrasion to images, last plate loose; a facsimile title-page bound in). Modern blue half calf, with gilt calf title-piece on cover.
