(click on image to print)
Glastoniensis -The Prospect of the Town of Glastonbury
Etching, 1655, Parthey 976, Pennington 976 iv/iv, 171 x 288 mm. A very good impression on laid paper with large margins, presumably as published in Monasticon in 1718 with Newcourt’s name erased and a page reference inserted. The peripatetic Hollar was born in Bohemia and traveled throughout Europe, documenting people, places and things for various publishers. He first arrived in London in 1644 and settled there in 1652, though traveling later with Lord Henry Howard to Tangiers. Though clearly done for topographical information, Hollar’s views have a liveliness about them (perhaps from the fact that they were etched rather than engraved) that lends an unexpected charm to the images and lends fuel to the sensibility of those enamored of a particular place.
