[Illustration: PLATE I.
BONNEVILLE, SAVOY.
CIRCA 1808. SIZE 11” × 15⅜".
The “Liber Studiorum” plate (R. 64), published January 1, 1816, was
founded on this design. The plate, which was engraved from a sepia
drawing, shows several slight variations from the water-colour; the
buildings in the centre and the bridge on the right are heightened, the
stick leaning on the blue and white bundle in the foreground has been
omitted, the hat of the girl resting on a stone on the left has been
taken off, the figure of a boy added, and a group of sheep substituted
for the herd of goats in the centre.]
[Illustration: PLATE II.
THE VALLEY OF THE WHARFE, FROM CALEY PARK.
CIRCA 1816-1818. SIZE 11¾” × 17½".
This drawing is executed in body-colour on brown paper. It represents
one of the views in the neighbourhood of Farnley Hall. The River Wharfe
winds through the valley in the middle distance. On the left, the
junction with the Washburne is shown; on the right, in the distance, is
Poole Bridge. Above the junction of the Wharfe and the Washburne,
Leathley Church and village are seen, and beyond them the gaunt
shoulders of Great Alms Cliff appear above the horizon.]
