BROUGHTON, Rev Brian.
Six Picturesque Views in North Wales.
Samuel Alken Sr. (1756 - 1815) was an English artist, a leading exponent of the newly developed technique of aquatint. His works included plates after George Morland, Richard Wilson, Thomas Rowlandson and Francis Wheatley. His plates for Sixteen views of the lakes in Cumberland and Westmorland after drawings John Emes and John Smith were published in 1796, and a set of aquatint views of North Wales after drawings by the Rev. Brian Broughton in 1798.
