About the artwork
"The good shepherd or Cambria's delight." (1784) is a work by William Jones. Context for 1784: In Japan, ukiyo-e woodblock printing flourished in the Edo period and made colour prints a popular and affordable art form. The Enlightenment and the habit of the Grand Tour fed a wider interest in science, travel, antiquity, and natural history, and illustrators accompanied many expeditions. It is listed in the Illustration collection. The image is in landscape orientation. Illustration in brief: Illustration serves a text or a story, a tradition that runs from decorated medieval manuscripts to printed book plates, magazines, and posters. The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are often described as a golden age of book and magazine illustration.
"The good shepherd or Cambria's delight." is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing.
