Copy of an 1809 lithograph by J. Renton (1799-1841, fl.). According to Michael Campbell, Renton is unknown as a printmaker apart from two early polyautographs, 'however, he was an active and successful painter of portraits, figurative subjects and landscapes'. Campbell also suggests the Lake District as a likely location for this image, given that he often exhibited views of the area. Ex: collection of the Late Hon. C. Lennox-Boyd.
