Curatorial Notes:

Dunsky Castle, pictured here, is a 12th century ruin on the coast of Scotland and one of the 308 aquatints from A Voyage Round Great Britain by William Daniell. 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.
