Burford, Robert, 1791-1861 · 1837 · London : [R. Burford] · 1 picture

This 1837 London guidebook by Robert Burford describes his panorama of Dublin and its bay, shown at the Panorama in Leicester Square and based on his own 1836 drawings for a London audience of visitors. The single picture is a wide, thin strip of pen-and-ink landscape with a distant shoreline, a flat expanse of water, and a tower at the right edge, offering a designer a model for panoramic horizon compositions and sparse tonal hatching.
