"A November Day in Nant-Francon", by J. C. Reed, in the exhibition of the Institute of Painters in Water Colours, 1864. Engraving of a painting. North Wales is the most favourite resort of the English painter as well as tourist...There are few views so magnificent as those afforded in this vale. Indeed, with the exception of Llanberis Pass, the finest gorge in the whole country is that formed by the enormous block of mountain of which Carneddau, Davydd, and Llewelyn, are the centres, seen on the spectator's right hand in the picture, and the still more savage and precipitous chain on the left intervening between Llyn Ogwen and Llanberis, and which at one point seems as if about to close over the pass and block it up. The name of Nant-Francon - "the Glen of Beavers" - recalls the ancient time when the stream of the Ogwen was a haunt of these strange creatures...The terrors of the scene depicted in Mr. Reed's fine drawing are aggravated by the snows and rains of early winter, which are already whitening the slopes of the mountains, hanging murkily in the sky, swelling the streams into angry, foaming cataracts, and imparting to the whole scene a deeper and more sombre aspect of desolateness'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

A November Day in Nant-Francon
EDITORS COMMENTS
by J. C. Reed, captured in a stunning engraving by Mason Jackson for the 1864 exhibition of the Institute of Painters in Water Colours, transports viewers to the rugged beauty of North Wales. The painting showcases the magnificent landscape of Nant-Francon, with towering mountains such as Carneddau, Davydd, and Llewelyn creating a dramatic backdrop.
The name "Nant-Francon" itself evokes a sense of ancient mystery, harking back to a time when beavers roamed freely along the Ogwen stream. In this scene depicted by Reed, the early winter snows and rains add an element of foreboding to the already awe-inspiring vista. The mountains are dusted with white while angry cataracts cascade down rocky slopes.
As viewers gaze upon this engraving, they can almost feel the chill in the air and hear the roar of rushing water echoing through the valley. Reed's attention to detail captures not just the physical features of Nant-Francon but also its emotional essence - a place where nature reigns supreme and humanity is dwarfed by its grandeur.
This print serves as a timeless reminder of both the power and fragility of our natural world, inviting us to contemplate our place within it as we marvel at its beauty.
