Plymouth, Clovelly, Lynmouth and the old gateways of Exeter appear in these Devon views attributed to Joseph Farington, the English landscape draughtsman who lived from 1747 to 1821, issued in 1822, after his death. The coastal subjects also take in Ilfracombe and Sidmouth, Exeter contributes its castle remains and former gateways, and Berry Pomeroy adds a ruin in the countryside. Several captions refer to structures already removed, so the plates preserve features that had been lost or altered by the time they were published.
