60 Studies 1810


Print, soft ground etching, Coniston Water, Coniston, Lancashire, by William Green, Ambleside, Westmorland, 1810.
Plate 1 in Sixty Studies from Nature, 1810.
No. 1.
CONISTON WATER.
CONISTON water is six miles in length, and the greatest breadth three quarters of a mile; it is encircled by an excellent road, which is often on the margin of the water and scarcely ever a mile from it: the most interesting part of this road is that which lies on the eastern side of the lake, and is a part of that usually travelled by tourists in their way to Coniston, or Hawkshead, from Ulverstone.
...
The view here presented is a mile from the foot of the lake, and is of the Man mountain, or, as it is more frequently called, the Old Man, with the pointed summit of Enfoot on the right, and Dove Crag on the left, a range of line probably more picturesque than is
exhibited by these mountains on any stand from or near the road before spoken of; the middle grounds and foregrounds are, however, better on some stations north of the one here chosen.

No. 2.
BUILDINGS AT CONISTON WATERHEAD.
The New Inn at Waterhead stands near the head of the lake, and this scene is upon the road from the church and
village of Coniston, by that inn to Ambleside; it is about two or three hundred yards from the inn, and that distance from the mansion house, called Waterhead, the property of --- Knott, Esq. and which is still nearer Ambleside.
An artist will make various useful selections from these buildings, under different points of view, and he may gain advantage from studies of the local colouring.

YEWDALE, NEAR CONISTON.
The valley of Yewdale, lies about a mile north-west of Coniston Waterhead.
Near the house, part of which is seen in this view, is the famous yew tree, tall and beautifully picturesque, but not umbrageous like these of Patterdale and Lorton; the hill on the
right is Raven Crag, that in the distance Enfoot.

No. 4.
ROTHAY BRIDGE, NEAR AMBLESIDE.
This bridge which spans the Rothay, is half a mile from Ambleside, on the road to Hawkshead, and Whitehaven, over the mountains Hardknot and Wrynose: - and this view is made on the road from Kendal to Whitehaven, over the above mountains, and joins that from Ambleside at the foot of the
bridge. The Rydal fells, (the mountains here are generally called fells) beginning with Nab Scar, and ending with Fairfield, close the scene.

No. 5.
AMBLESIDE FROM THE GALE.
...
The Gale is a field above that in which the fir trees stand as we enter on the Kendal road, the more embodied part of the village, and the most pleasant way of approaching this field on leaving the inns, is on the public road, by the fir trees and Gale house, entering the Gale field at the back of that house.
The scene in nature, from the Gale, comprehends more than half a circle, and the part which is here chosen, is looking towards the park and mountains of Rydal; the buildings nearest
the eye are a part of the market-place; that over the end of the foot path is the Salutation inn - part of the exhibition-house appears between the fir trees - the ancient building in the centre of this view, belongs to Mr. Edward Partridge, who resides in that part of it which is nearest the Salutation; and beyond this building appears Green Bank, the property of Matthew Harrison, Esq. and residence of the Misses Knott. Rydal hall and Rydal mount may be discovered beyond the fir trees.

Plate 6 in Sixty Studies from Nature, 1810.
No. 6.
WINDERMERE.
...
This print of Windermere is from a field near the turnpike gate at Waterhead, and is looking into Langdale - Bow fell and Langdale pikes are the principal features in the distance, but a part of Loughrigg fell is on the right - the houses at Brathay and Clappersgate assist in composing the middle ground. - The trees on the left were taken from the hedge-row on the right hand, with a view to benefit the composition - for though the distances on Windermere are exquisite, as seen in nature; yet, by their remoteness from the eye, and the consequent monotony of the lines composing those distances, they generally require the aid of other objects with a view to destroy that monotony, and otherwise improve the intended picture.

BARK MILL, AMBLESIDE.
The Mills in Ambleside are four, namely, a corn mill, a bark mill, a woollen factory, and a turnery of wood and ivory; they are all upon Stock Gill.

MILLS IN AMBLESIDE.
The Bark Mill in the last print, composes likewise a part of the present, and the water which turns the wheel is conveyed in a spout from the corn mill, which is seen upon the opposite side of the river. - The corn mill adjoins the bridge, which is the only one in the town; the distant mountain is Wansfell with its pike.

Plate 10 in Sixty Studies from Nature, 1810.
No. 10.
STOCK GILL NEAR THE SALUTATION INN.
This view is about 150 yards above the bridge; Stock Gill in this place is passable when the water is small in
quantity, because the rocks point high out of the bed of the river: from the track discoverable between the eye and the house, there is a fine retrospective view to Wansfell; and the Salutation inn, with a peep at Windermere, are not uninteresting objects as we approach the chapel, which is the last building in the village, on the road to Penrith over Kirkstone.

STOCK GILL.
About half the way to Stock Gill Force, from Ambleside, is on the horse road to the groves, and the remainder of that way, after having crossed a field about one hundred yards over, is by the side of the brook; and the Stock Gill scene, here presented, is taken near that part of the path which joins the brook.

CHERRY TREE, STOCK GILL.
By some unaccountable mistake, the large tree in this print is called a cherry tree, but is in reality a species of wych elm. - The wych elm and the wild cherry tree grow luxuriantly and to a prodigious size on the banks of this little river.

STUDY IN STOCK GILL.
This study of rocks and trees was made thirty of forty yards below the foot of the force.
The ramification of such trees as hang on the steep banks of rivers are usually wildly undulating, but straightness is the peculiar character of such as grow near the margins or out of the beds of rivers.

STOCK GILL FORCE.
The beauties of this admired water-fall are in a great degree lost to the generality of visitors, because they only see it from the foot-path, skirting the top of a bank which rises to a great height, and almost perpendicularly from the bottom of the channel; and the spectator looks down upon the scene, rather than upwards or horizontally; his view of the water is likewise considerably impeded by wood, of which there is a redundancy.
...
The scene which has been engraved for this work, is made on the margin of the stream, immediately under the usual stand; but from several other points the materials will be found to combine with an equal, if not superior interest, should parts be preferred to a general view.

PELTER BRIDGE, RYDAL.
This bridge is a mile from Ambleside, the fore-ground on the left is brought from the other side of the bridge, the drawing being made out of a flat field on the Loughrigg side of the river Rothay - the houses are the beginning of the little village of Rydal, on the road from Ambleside to Keswick.
The mountain over the lesser arch of the bridge is Nab Scar, from a certain point of which there is, to a great extent of distance, an exquisite and almost circular view of the country, which is composed of mountains, lakes, rivers, woods, and buildings; and this view, in its kind, is perhaps more interesting than can be furnished by the domains of Rydal from any other summit.

COTTAGE AT RYDAL.
Part of the building here presented is given in the preceeding print, and this view is higher on the river than the bridge, from which it is not one hundred yards; the townships of Rydal and Ambleside divide on the top of the mountain, the pointed summits of which are the high and low pikes. ...

LOWER FALL AT RYDAL.
Highly to the credit of the Rydal family, who have given to the public a sight of the falls, excellent foot-paths have been made to them from the road: this view is from a summer-house which is near the hall, and is a scene as complete in its kind as any in the country. - What Mr. Gilpin has excellently said of this fall, will be more properly applied to it as observed from a bank a few yards above the summer-house than from it. - "The water falls within a few yards of the eye, which being rather above its level, has a long perspective view of the stream, as it hurries from the higher grounds, tumbling in various little breaks through its rocky channel, darkened with thicket, till it arrives at the edge of the precipice before the window, from
whence it rushes into the bason, which is formed by nature in the native rock."

SCENE NEAR RYDAL HALL.
This view is on the river between the lower fall and the wooden bridge, passed on the way to the upper fall; and perhaps such a scene as Shakespear had in his "mind's eye," when he composed Jacques description of the bankrupt deer, in "As you like it."

WINDERMERE, FROM RYDAL PARK.
We look towards the foot of Windermere from Rydal park, which, though a flat scene, is beautiful; but distances like the present are not calculated to please in outline. This view is given rather as an exhibition of the oak trees, than of the lake; but the
combination has, however, in nature, a fine effect.

RYDAL WATER, FROM RYDAL PARK.
This view is taken near the south-west corner of the park: Beyond the lake appears the road to Keswick, at about two miles and a half from Ambleside; before the road reaches the third mile, there is a fine view of the lake and vale of Grasmere; Langdale pikes and Bow Fell are the remote objects in the scene, which scene, in nature, under some circumstances of effect, is of extraordinary beauty.

GOODY BRIDGE, IN GRASMERE.
The buildings in this scene are called by the name of a stone bridge which is lower down the river, and on the way to Easedale from Grasmere church: to improve the composition, the stepping stones have been brought nearer to the houses than they actually are: the distance is Helme Crag, but the rocks on its summit, called the Lion and the Lamb, cannot be seen from this place.

ST. JOHN'S VALE.
This much admired valley opens itself on the eye of the spectator about ten miles from Ambleside, on his approach to Keswick; and this view of it, is from a field on the right of the mile stone, and chosen because the mountains compose better than from the crags on the opposite side of the road; but the traveller ought to have his view from amongst these crags, as the picture is thereby excellently benefited by them as a fore-ground; the stony part of which was added to the distance here presented.
The rock of St. John, which rises above Legberthwaite mill, and beyond that rock Wanthwaite Crags, bound the valley on the right, and the How and Naddle Fell on the opposite side; in a fine line see Saddleback end the perspective.

HELVELLYN, FROM THE FOOT OF LEATH'S WATER.
Wyburn Water, Thril Mere, or Leath's Water, has its latter name from the family of Leath, who have long resided at Dalehead, a venerable edifice on the banks of the lake.
This view is from a part of the road
immediately west of the foot of the lake, and Helvellyn, as seen from it, is of a more interesting figure than is displayed by it from other situations; its neighbouring summits being high, leave generally but little of the mountain to the view of the spectator, particularly from Coniston Water, Windermere, and Ulls Water.
The woods on the opposite banks of the lake are the property of John Stanger Leath, Esq. and his house is seen amongst them. - Between these woods and the high mountains, winds the road from Keswick to Ambleside; and the mile-stone six and ten is not far distant from the house, and immediately beyond it from the eye.

THE ISLANDS ON DERWENT WATER.
The site of the present scene is near that of the last, but looking towards the mountains of Newlands and Braithwaite, and this view comprehends the three large islands.
Lord's Island is beyond the trees, and on the other side of the lake see Water-end bay, at the extremity of which stands that tasteful building erected by Lord William Gordon, for his occasional residence; all the lands bounding that side of the lake observed here belong to his lordship. - Vicars Island, late Pocklington's Island, now the property of Colonel Peché, from this place apparently in contact with the mainland, is on the right, and St. Herbert's on the left. The mountains Swinside, Barrow, and Grisdale, with its pike, are seen over Vicar's Island;
and at the St. Herbert's end of this scene, the two Cat Bells, and beyond them Hindsgarth in Newlands - the centre is occupied by Causey Pike, and the more distant mountain Grasmire, which mountain is the eastern boundary of Crummock Water.

DERWENT WATER, FROM CROW PARK.
...
The view from Crow Park is into Borrowdale.
Vicar's Island is a principal feature of the middle distance, and it is to be reached by boats from the pier on the opposite shore; in the neighbourhood of which pier are moored various small craft for the navigation of the lake; the rocks of Lowdore, with its water-fall, are over the boat-house, and to the left, the mountains of Watenlath. Beyond Vicar's Island, and over the middle of the lake see Grange Fell, Grange Crag, Castle Crag, and Gate Crag; the mountains beyond Rosthwaite terminate the distance, of which Rosthwaite Pike and Great End are the most considerable.

Vicar's Island, Ramp's Holm, and Lord's Island are succeeded by various enclosures skirting the base of Skiddaw; the point of land from which the last scene was taken is observable by its projection into the lake - Falcon Crag towers grandly on the right; the oak and ash trees were added from the road.

BARROW CASCADE.
Barrow Cascade lies at the back of Barrow House, which is the property of Joseph Pocklington, Esq.; Barrow House commands a fine view of Skiddaw, with Derwent Water.
In every cascade there is a particular quantity of water which is more pleasant to the eye than any other quantity; and those who may view the one at Barrow under favourable circumstances, will, it is trusted, be highly gratified, and be ready to pronounce it the most charming picture, of its kind, among the mountains. The course of the water has been diverted from its original channel by Mr. Pocklington, who had previously excavated the rock, and who has given the whole to the public eye in its present beauty. ...

GRANGE, IN BORROWDALE.
All the way from Castlerigg to Bowder Stone is richly replete with fore-ground studies, which will readily be discovered by such as give themselves the trouble to scramble up the sides of the mountains.
The present foreground is taken from the side of Grange Fell, and the village and mountain beyond it were introduced from the same point, after having turned at right angles.
The village of Grange is four miles
from Keswick, and tourists pass through Grange in their progress round the lake.

In the middle distance of the view before us, on the right, rises from the river Derwent, Castle Crag, but here we do not see its summit; Rosthwaite Pike and Glenamatara, majestically
towering from the valley, close the scene.

On the north of Over Beck, in a fine line rises the mountain Yew-barrow, which is the back-ground to the bridge, the bridge may likewise be so viewed as to have Gable or Scho-fell as distances.

to a good distance; Yew-barrow lies on the left, and under it, the enclosed lands of Bowderdale; part of the Screes are on the right; Wastdale Head at the end of the lake, by its enclosures, serves as a scale whereby to judge the vastness of the mountains; and over them is Great Gable, so called from its resemblance to the roof of a house: between Gable and Yew-barrow see a part of Kirk Fell, and between Gable and the Screes, Lingmell, from which rises Scho-fell, the summit of which cannot be seen from this place. ...

GOLD-RILL CRAG, ON THE RIVER DUDDON.
The river Duddon divides Lancashire and Cumberland, from the county stones on Wrynose, to its junction with the Irish sea; consequently, the scene before us is in both counties. -
This view is down the river; the left hand rock is in Lancashire, and Goldrill Crag, which is on the right, is in Cumberland.
The Lancashire side of this river, from Broughton to Cockley Beck Bridge, which bridge is on the road from Ambleside to Wastdale, is chiefly the township of Seathwaite, a district deeply but charmingly entrenched among the mountains: Cockley Beck Bridge is four miles above Seathwaite chapel, and Goldrill Crag is half way between them.
