W.H. Watts was a famous miniature and landscape painter, who accompanied T Garnett M.D. on his tour of Scotland. This printed engraving was taken by Watts at Stirling. The print is from the book From Observations of a Tour through The Highlands and Part of the Western Isles of Scotland, particularly Staffa and Icolmkill; to which is added, A Description of the Falls of the Clyde, of the Country round Moffat, etc. by T. Garnett, M.D., Published in London, printed by Luke Hanfard for T. Cadell, Junior & W. Davies, In the Strand, 1800. This two hundred year old print is a beautiful example of a oval plate style, and is approximately 10.5 by 8.5 inches in size.
