William Daniell was born in 1769 and joined the Royal Academy Schools in 1779 at the age of 10. He became a successful artist in oils and watercolours, but his unique and particular skill was as an aquatintist. Over the years 1813 to 1823 he went on horseback around the country's coast. This book follows part of Daniell's journey in 1815, from Thurso to Banff, revisiting the places that he visited. It includes reproductions of the 30 aquatint prints which he finally published, together with present day photographs of these same views.
