Paul Sandby: Drawings Colour Plates
()
About this ebook
He also etched a large number of plates after his own drawings, a hundred of which were published in a volume in 1765. In 1760 he issued twelve etchings of The Cries of London.
Sandby made extensive journeys around Britain and Ireland, sketching scenery and ancient monuments. He made his first recorded visit to Wales in 1770, later (1773) touring south Wales with Sir Joseph Banks, resulting in the 1775 publication of XII Views in South Wales and a further 12 views the following year, part of a 48-plate series of aquatint engravings depicting Welsh scenery commissioned by Banks.
Sandby was described in his obituaries as "the father of modern landscape painting in watercolors"

Sandby was born in Nottingham, and baptised there in 1731. In 1745 he moved to London where he followed his brother Thomas in obtaining an appointment in the military drawing department at the Tower of London.
