Description

Artists’ Views of Glamorgan: The Nineteenth Century / Tirluniau O Forgannwg : Y Bedwaredd Ganrif Ar Bymtheg.

This picture book, via thirty views and two maps, illustrate how artists responded to the visual appeal of the landscape and the works of man within it, and what their pictures tell us of the old county of Glamorgan.
