Mists, estuaries and mountain light fill the Welsh landscapes reproduced in prints by Robert Fowler. Fowler (1853–1926) painted the pictures for Beautiful Wales, published by A. & C. Black in 1905 with descriptive writing by Edward Thomas and a contribution by A. J. Finberg. His subjects run from the Great Orme and the Anglesey coast to Barmouth, the Conwy valley and the lakes around Snowdon, with hayfields near Portmadoc, woodland in the Berwyn area and paths beside the Llugwy among the quieter scenes. Caernarfon Castle and the bishop's palace at St David's are among the few buildings. Morning mist, incoming tides and evening glow set one view apart from the next, showing how closely he watched the weather.
