G.B. Fisher Esq.r del.r. J.W. Edy fecit.
Pub'd Jan.y 1, 1798, by J.W. Edy, No.2, Romney Row, Westminster.
Scarce aquatint, printed in colours and hand finished. Visible area 540 x 720mm (21¼ x 28¼"). Mount pasted over edges, laid on board, some toning.
A large aquatint view showing Durham Abbey rising above the trees on the banks of the River Wear. The rare view was aquatinted by John William Edy after George Bulteel Fisher (1764-1834) who, having studied under Paul Sandby at the Royal Military Academy in Woolwich, continued to paint during his military career. As a young lieutenant he served as aide to Prince Edward Augustus (father of Queen Victoria), visiting Canada with him and publishing a rare series 'Six Views in North America' (also engraved by Edy) in 1795-6. The following year Fisher and Edy published six views of Gibraltar. The British Museum have both these sets but we have been unable to trace another example of this print of Durham.
