Warwick and Kenilworth castles, manor houses and village streets shape prints by Frederick William Newton Whitehead (1853–1938), the English landscape painter and illustrator. Born in Leamington Spa, he grew up in a family picture-dealing and artists' materials business before studying art in Britain and France, and the illustrations here, dated 1906–1916, concentrate on his home county. Charlecote, Compton Wynyates, Baddesley Clinton and smaller manor houses appear, Coventry supplies civic and charitable buildings, and bridges, mills and churchyards show everyday places. Leamington's pump room and parish church recall the town of his early life.
