Rare in an unbound state, this is a beautiful series of plates on the River Dart, which flows in the English county of Devon.

Frederick Christian Lewis (1779-1856), engraver of drawings to Princess Charlotte, Prince Leopold, George IV, William IV, and Queen Victoria, also painted landscapes.

He mainly produced paintings of Devonshire scenery and this work is the first of several volumes of plates depicting the Devonshire rivers between 1821 and 1843.

Lewis’s skill as an engraver led him to contribute to J.M.W. Turner’s Liber Studiorum, a collection of seventy-one etchings with mezzotint, greatly influencing landscape painting.
