Critical commentary
This print is one of the set, <i>Six Views in North and South Wales</i>, all after Wilson, published by John Boydell in 1775. The others are E22, E27, E28, E30 and E31. Solkin suggested that those from the series lacking Boydell's publication line may have been commissioned by Wilson before financial difficulties in the mid-1770s constrained him to sell the plates to Boydell.
