About the Item
The present is one of the many prints John Thomas Smith produced of English cottages and vernacular architecture. This example, a view of a cottage in Edmonton, is closely related to a series of 20 etchings that Smith would publish in 1797 under the title "Remarks on rural scenery with twenty etchings of cottages, from nature and some observations and precepts relative to the pictoresque." The use of the word 'pictoresque,' an old spelling of 'picturesque,' indicates that Smith's cottages are early examples of Romantic landscape imagery, taking delight in the intersection of civilized man and wild nature.
