Warwick and Kenilworth castles, Shakespeare's birthplace and Coventry's Peeping Tom all feature in the prints from Warwickshire Watercolours, Fred Whitehead's illustrated tour of the county, published by A. and C. Black in 1916. Country houses are well represented, among them Maxstoke, Compton Wynyates and Baddesley Clinton, and the towns supply Coventry's Ford's Hospital, Leamington's parish church and Pump Room, and Rugby School. Guy's Cliffe Mill and village scenes around Long Compton and Ufton take the book beyond the celebrated monuments. The plates are published reproductions of Whitehead's watercolours.
