Caption

The Valley of the Lledr, by J. C. Reed, from the exhibition of the new Water-Colour Society, 1861. Engraving from a painting. 'The application of water-colour painting to the realisation of the grandest features in nature is successfully exhibited in this landscape, which was exhibited on the walls of the New Water-colour Society. The huge broken mountain range, whose granite surface is partially covered with thin herbage, is depicted with admirable truth, both as regards texture and colour. In the valley below, winding like a silver thread, is a small streamlet. In the foreground, on a broken road, are some cattle going out to pasture. A few stunted trees diversify the view, which is picturesque in the highest degree'. From "Illustrated London News", 1861.
