Two painters' views of the Clyde, from its source to the sea lochs, make up these prints by John (1874–1955) and Mary (1872–1947) Young-Hunter. Together they illustrated Neil Munro's The Clyde River and Firth, published by A. & C. Black in 1907, and the prints follow that shared journey from the upper valley through Glasgow to the estuary and beyond. John's subjects include the Broomielaw, regattas, Rothesay Bay and riverside landscapes near Tinto; Mary's include the river's source, Dumbarton Rock, Dunoon and the gardens and shores around Rosneath. Steamers and sailing craft link the working river with its recreational waters, and castles, inns and wooded shores fill the land.
