  William Gilpin (1724-1804) started travelling in search of picturesque scenes in the 1770's and his five books of journeys evaluate every scene with critical rigour. To read Gilpin today is to enter an entirely eighteenth century world. This book, the first of the five books, includes all plates in what is considered to be their best state.
