[Watercolor album of scenes in England, Ireland and Greece], 1828-1831
Scope and Contents note
An album of watercolors and pencil drawings of scenes in the Lake District, County Antrim and Greece by an unknown member of the Savage-Armstrong family. The volume appears to document several different trips over the period 1828-1831. Travels in the Lake District during August 1828 are the most well-documented, with several color watercolors as well as some monotone watercolor studies. There are fewer finished watercolors of Co. Antrim and of Greece, and more pencil studies of these locations. The drawings of Greece are of particular interest as they show multiple views of the Acropolis as it was during the artist's visit there in December 1830-January 1831.
