A member of the prolific Daniell family, this 8-volume set is his most famous independent work and features the coastlines of England, Wales, and Scotland drawn and engraved by Daniell himself. Traveling with his friend Richard Ayton, they voyaged around England, often by sea, documenting and championing the wild beauty of coastal life.

Curatorial Notes:
  • Combining the beautiful and the sublime, this picturesque image captures both the majesty and power of nature. There is a tension here between the current calm and the lurking danger—the sun illuminates the hillside between threatening dark clouds; the serene lake tumbles over a small waterfall. The fisher on the lower right may catch their dinner, but they should do it quickly and carefully, before the rain begins to pour or the river sweeps them away.
