An early print of William Beller's view Bywell Bay in Northumberland. People walk along the river in the foreground, a man fishes, men in a row boat laying fishing nets in the river, a fortified tower on the right and the town along the river bank in background. The print is dedicated to William Fenwick of Bywell. This print is one of a series of eight William Bellers made depicting the Lake District. Pierre Charles Canot (1710-1777) French printmaker and publisher who worked in London from around 1735. He specialised in marine subjects. James Mason (1710 - c.1785) was a British engraver, publisher, and printseller, best known for his series of views of stately homes. William Bellers (fl. 1749-1773) was a British, painter, draughtsman, printmaker, printer, and publisher who lived in London. He is known for his views of the Lake District, but also sold prints from his address.
