Collecting Antique Prints - The Picturesque Views of Scotland

Another exceptional view of the picturesque scenery of Scotland and the Scottish Highlands. The Town of Montrose. From the "Views in Scotland" series. The plates are signed I.Clark but it is generally accepted that these views are the work of the Scottish artist John Heaviside Clark, 1771-1836. He was a prolific artist, aquatinter and engraver, sometimes known as Waterloo Clark due to the sketches he made on the field directly after the Battle of Waterloo. He was also skilled in aquatinting and certainly none of this series has a named engraver. . .
