Cathedral closes, the hospital of St Cross and the coves of the Isle of Wight glow in watercolour light in these prints after Ernest William Haslehust. An English landscape painter, illustrator and poster artist who lived from 1866 to 1949, he painted views associated with Blackie's Beautiful England travel books, and these are catalogued around 1920. Canterbury's river, churches and cathedral precincts form one group, and Winchester supplies the college courts, Wolvesey and the Butter Cross, while the Isle of Wight and Swanage bring downs, cliffs and coastal villages. He often settled on approaches and enclosed spaces, such as a deanery garden, a hospital gateway or the passage into a cathedral close.
