EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, created by Paul Sandby in 1776, transports us to the enchanting Rhaidr-y Wennel near Llanrwst in Denbighshire, Wales. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings this picturesque landscape to life on cream laid paper. The image showcases a magnificent cataract cascading down from the riverbank of Afon Llugwy. Swallow Falls, as it is commonly known today, captivates viewers with its natural beauty and raw power. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported back to the romantic era when nature was revered for its sublime qualities. In the background of the print, we catch a glimpse of people enjoying their rural lives amidst this breathtaking scenery.

This artwork serves as a testament to Britain's rich artistic tradition during the eighteenth century.
