caption: printed introductory pages to set of prints
Numbers 53, 54, 55, 56, are various studies made in Rydal
Park. In the springs are valuable foreground materials, some
at the roots of trees; 55, and 56, are two of them. Rydal
Park is a fine spot for study : The trees are majestic; and
the lakes of Windermere and Rydal, in composition with the
wood and mountains, exhibit some very extraordinary
pictures. Some years ago it was the opinion of gentlemen who
had been in many parts of the united kingdom and on the
continent, that they had seen nothing equal to Rydal Park.
Although a great deal of the wood has recently been cut
down; it is even at present a charming place. The writer has
enjoyed much pleasure in contemplating the scenes of Rydal
Park, and is grateful for the privilege of studying there.
He has frequently been in the Park from ten to twelve hours
without seeing a human being.
