Voyage en différentes parties de l'Angleterre, et particulièrement dans les montagnes & sur les lacs du Cumberland & du Westmoreland : contenant des observations relatives aux beautés pittoresques
A French translation, published in Paris and London in 1789, of William Gilpin's picturesque travel account of the English lakes and mountains of Cumberland and Westmoreland, translated by Pierre Guédon de Berchère and issued by Defer de Maisonneuve and Richmond Blamire. Its pictures are oval-framed aquatint-like views of rocky crags, cliffs, waterfalls and dense trees, rendered in soft grey tones with sketchy light and shadow, offering a designer models of picturesque composition: a diagonal cliff leading the eye, framed foliage and a small figure for scale.
