Gobray Falls
London: Published by Jukes & Sarjent, 1808. Hand-coloured aquatint engraving.

A highly atmospheric landscape after a watercolour by Thomas Walmsley, an accomplished artist and follower of the "picturesque" school of painters.
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.
