Dovedale, Durham's riverbanks and Brighton's new terraces are among the views in The Landscape Album; or, Great Britain Illustrated, an engraved tour published by Charles Tilt in the early 1830s, with subjects by William Westall, descriptions by Thomas Moule and the Findens among the engravers. From Castleton and Peveril Castle the tour moves to northern market towns, cathedrals, ruined abbeys, country houses and coastal resorts, including the crescents of Hastings. Sheffield and Sunderland represent the growing industrial towns, and the castle ruins of Brough, Barnard Castle and Oystermouth add an antiquarian strand. Westall sets each building within its rivers, hills and coastline.
