Dawn light, mist and changing weather over the fells give prints by Alfred Heaton Cooper (1863–1929) their unmistakable Lake District atmosphere. The English watercolour artist lived and worked in Norway before settling in the Lakes and illustrated travel books for A. & C. Black; the prints here are dated 1908. Coniston, Grasmere, Borrowdale and Ullswater recur, with mountain paths, waterfalls and lakeshores alongside charcoal burning, fishing and fell hunting. Inns, churches, houses and village interiors show the people who lived among the hills, and a small group of Isle of Wight subjects, including Carisbrooke and Shanklin, takes him south.
