| Fonctions : | Sam Bough (1822-1878) was born in Carlisle, Cumberland in England and was a self taught landscape painter. He was know for his love of walking and drew inspiration from his works by what he saw on his walking travels. The Solway featured in this image is a body of water located on the east coast of central Scotland. This low level waterway forms the border between England and Scotland and has calm and shallow waters allowing cattle to be moved between these two countries. Lumb Stocks (1812-1892) was a British engraver who started work in engraving at the age of 15 in London. He worked on engraving on a number large works but also with many annuals (Information taken from wikipedia.com and www.caltongallery.co.uk) |
