Tidal creeks, barges and Essex market towns shape prints by Louis Burleigh Bruhl (1861–1942), the landscape painter and illustrator. Born in Baghdad and educated in Vienna and England, he became associated with British landscape subjects, and the prints here, dated 1909, concentrate on Essex. Leigh, the Blackwater, Colchester, Thaxted and the countryside around Epping Forest all feature, with mills and fishing creeks showing the working coast, and churchyards, abbey gates, market places and houses the county's architecture. Seasonal light, rain and changing tides keep the buildings firmly in their landscape.
