Commentary

This print is similar in technique and spirit to a number of fine small Scottish landscapes done in the artist’s mature years. The sophisticated rendering of the image is at odds with the crude outline marks of the plate, suggesting that it is either an early state, or in the absence of other known impressions, a trial proof of a print that Cameron left unfinished.

This object has the following keywords:

landscapes (representations)*

landscapes (representations) - Use for creative works that depict outdoor scenes where the picture is dominated by the configuration, visual and aesthetic, of the land, bodies of water, and natural elements. When the ocean or other large body of water dominates the picture, use "seascapes." For images that are more documentary than creative, prefer "views" or "topographical views." For actual areas of land having certain notable characteristics, use "landscapes (environments)." [January 1993 scope note added; related term added. April 1991 descriptor moved; lead-in term added; descriptor changed, was "landscapes"; alternate term changed, was 'landscape'.]
