[Pontypridd Old Bridge] [The Great Bridge of the Taaffe in South Wales.]
[Richard Wilson Pinx.t. P.C. Canot Sculp.t.]
[Published July 17th 1775 by John Boydell Engraver in Cheapside London.]
Scarce engraving, proof before all letters. 400 x 540mm (15¾ x 21¼"), with large margins. Uncut.
Pontypridd's 'Old Bridge', built 1756 by William Edwards, at the time the longest single-span bridge in Britain. Still in use as a footbridge, it is Grade I listed. This bridge was Edwards' fourth attempt: the first (1746) had three arches but was swept away by a flood after two years; the second (1748) collapsed during construction; the third fell after only six weeks. The expence of the successive rebuildings left Edwards out-of-pocket, and a subscription was raised to pay his debts. Richard Wilson (1 August 1714 - 15 May 1782) was a Welsh landscape painter, and one of the founder members of the Royal Academy in 1768. The son of a clergyman, Wilson was born in Penegoes, Montgomeryshire. In 1729 he went to London where he began as a portrait painter. From 1750 to 1757 he was in Italy and adopted landscape on the advice of Francesco Zuccarelli. Painting in Italy and afterwards in England, he was the first major British painter to primarily concentrate on landscape. He composed well, but saw and rendered only the general effects of nature thereby creating a personal, ideal style influenced by Claude Lorrain and the Dutch landscape tradition. According to John Ruskin, he 'paints in a manly way,'. His landscapes were acknowledged as influential and many were engraved by the most accomplished artists and engravers. Wilson died in Colomendy, Denbighshire. This very fine proof engraving of Pontypridd Bridge is Wales was engraved by Canot. Canot, Peter Charles 1710-1777, engraver, was a native of France, who came to England in 1740, and remained here till he died. He was a member of the Incorporated Society of Artists in 1766, and was elected an associate engraver of the Royal Academy in 1770, when that degree was first instituted. He exhibited at the Society of Artists, the Free Society, and the Royal Academy.

St Davids head, a headland in Pembrokeshire, South Wales. As Sir Richard Cold Hoare wrote in his "Journal of a Tour of South Wales" in 1793: "No place could ever be more suited to retirement, contemplation or Druidical mysteries, surrounded by inaccessible rock and open to a wide expanse of ocean. Nothing seems wanting but the thick impenetrable groves of oaks which have been thought concomitant to places of Druidical worship and which, from the exposed nature of this situation, would never, I think, have existed here even in former days."

Jno. ingleby, Delint. & Sculpt.
Publish'd according to Act of Parliament, Jan'ry. 1st 1781.
Engraving 320 x 375mm
In the Flintshire town of Holywell and in memory Gwenfrewy, more commonly called Winifred, murdered on the steps on the church by a rejected suitor in November 660. She was a descendant of the early Kings of Powys. The well is housed inside the shrine of St. Winifrid (Gwenffrwd or Gwenfrewi) regarded as the finest surviving example of a medieval holy well in Britain. The well formed from the spring is a place of pilgrimage visited by, among others, Richard I, to pray for his Crusade; Henry V (both before and after his famous victory at Agincourt), who came on foot from Shrewsbury; and King James II, who came here to pray for a son (a prayer which was granted by the birth of the Old Pretender).
