| Exhibition – Georgian Watercolours and prints |
| Thomas Smith’s Prospects of the Peak District |
| In 1743 Thomas Smith of Derby first published an innovative set of eight engravings, all showing Derbyshire rivers. His engravings are some of the first to show the English landscape in the Sublime manner – as awe-inspiring and wild. These ‘prospects’ were immediately popular and were reproduced in magazines, instilling ideas of Peak District crags, caves and limestone formations in people’s minds. The museum’s collection of Smith’s engravings will be on display on the landing from Saturday 9 September. |
