Dashwood Milestone, Five Miles from Torquay

British & Continental Studies: Dashwood

This watercolour forms part of a collection of works we have for sale by a mid-19th-century hand named Dashwood. The graphite works in the collection depict a range of landscape subjects, mainly Continental, including views on the Danube, Rhine and at Waterloo in Belgium. Watercolours by the same hand include views in Switzerland, Italy, Germany and France, as well as various landscapes across the British Isles—at Dorset, Devon, Surrey, Scotland and Wales. Executed in some cases on 1846 Whatman paper, these pictures represent the keen observations of a talented Grand Tourist.
