EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 18th century, offering a glimpse into the picturesque town of Caernarvon in Wales. The image showcases the magnificent Caernarfon Castle, an iconic fortification that stands proudly against the backdrop of the Irish Sea and Menai Strait. Its medieval charm is beautifully captured through etching and aquatint techniques by John Hill. As we delve into this historical scene, we are transported to a time when travel was an adventure filled with discovery. The print is part of "Remarks on a Tour to North and South Wales" a collection that documents Hill's exploration of these regions in 1797. It serves as both a visual representation and testament to his journey. Caernarvon's coastal location adds to its allure, with its charming streets winding their way through this ancient town. The Georgian architecture reflects the spirit of the era, while also highlighting its rich heritage. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has preserved this remarkable piece from centuries past, allowing us today to appreciate not only its artistic value but also gain insight into Welsh history and culture. This print invites viewers on their own virtual tour through time, immersing them in the beauty and grandeur of Caernarvon during the Middle Ages.
