JUKES, Francis (1745-1812) after Edward DAYES (1763-1804)
View of Hereford [Pl. 1]
[Pl. 1]. London: Published by F. Jukes, 1797. Hand-coloured aquatint. Very good condition apart from several light water stains in the right and left margins. Plate mark: 14 1/8 x 17 7/8 inches. Sheet size: 18 x 24 3/8 inches.
A fine view of the ancient market town of Hereford, near the Welsh border, from "Series of Views on the River Wye" by Francis Jukes, one of the greatest English exponents of the art of aquatint, after a work by the landscape painter Edward Dayes.
Francis Jukes was a prolific engraver, who was chiefly known for his topographical prints, the bulk of which he executed in aquatint. He contributed numerous plates to various publications including Walmsley's Views in North Wales (1792-4) and Campbell's A Journey in Scotland (1802) and collaborated on several projects with the engraver and publisher Robert Pollard.
