Country houses set in parkland and the ruins of Haughmond Abbey fill these prints by Frederick Calvert, an Irish painter, watercolourist and engraver born in Cork around 1785. He worked on topographical and marine subjects and later exhibited in London, but this group concentrates on his views of Staffordshire and Shropshire made around 1830, including Stourton Castle, Armitage Park and Bellamour House. Water, trees and grazing animals frame the houses, and the engraved credits record the engravers, such as West, who worked from his designs.
