Album of landscape drawings by Mason, Gilpin, and Holland [art original].

A collection of 75 wash drawings and watercolor landscape drawings, mostly unidentified and unsigned. Later annotations attribute the drawings to Mason, Gilpin and Holland, and identify specific places in the British Isles: Mason's Arched Rock on the Isle of Wright, Bolton Abbey; Gilpin's Windermere Lake; Summer House Aston Rectory,Yorkshire. Possibly drawings executed for Gilpin's series "Observations, relative chiefly to picturesque beauty, made in the year ..." or for his "Observations on the River Wye, and several parts of south Wales, &c." Also laid in is an engraving in blue ink on a paper doily etched with the title: Maths.Huelin & Ca. Malaga. Some drawings dated in pencil on mount, in a later hand, "1797".
