Painting, pen and grey ink and watercolour, S West
Prospect of Thurston Water in Furness Lancashire, ie
Coniston Water, by Stephen Penn, 1730s.
Coniston Water from an aerial position looking down the lake. There has been some damage from damp, making some of the inscription at the bottom illegible. They refer to numbered features in the picture, making it a very early instance of an 'outline view.' |
