Observations on several parts of England, particularly the mountains and lakes of Cumberland and Westmoreland : relative chiefly to picturesque beauty, made in the year 1772
William Gilpin's 1808 London edition of his 1772 tour notes on the lakes and mountains of Cumberland and Westmoreland, published by T. Cadell and W. Davies for an audience interested in picturesque taste. Its four oval plates are tonal sepia views of rock faces, overhanging trees, distant cloud and a ruined stone structure, with soft wash shading a designer could borrow for vignette framing and landscape atmosphere.
