18099205London: William Miller 1809. Hand-coloured aquatint engraving by J. Bluck after Henry Salt on wove paper. A lyrical South African view from the 'Roode Zand' Red Sand Pass inland from the Cape of Good Hope.<br/> <br/>Henry Salt artist traveller diplomat and collector of antiquities was born at Lichfield Staffordshire England 14 June 1780. He was destined to be a portrait-painter and on leaving school was taught drawing by Glover the watercolour-painter of Lichfield. In 1797 he went to London and became a pupil of Joseph Farington R.A. and in 1800 of John Hoppner R.A. The turning point in his career was 3 June 1802 when Salt left London for an eastern tour with George viscount Valentia afterwards Lord Mountnorris whom he accompanied as secretary and draughtsman. He visited the Cape India Sri Lanka and in 1805 Abyssinia returning to England on 26 Oct. 1806. He made many drawings some of which served to illustrate Lord Valentia's Voyages and Travels to India published in 1809. The present image is from a work titled Twenty-four Views in St. Helena the Cape India Ceylon the Red Sea Abyssinia and Egypt published by William Miller with hand-coloured aquatints by D. Havell and J. Bluck from Salt's own drawings. The originals of all these drawings were retained by Lord Valentia who also retained the ownership of the copper plates after Salt's death. The format and style of presentation of the plates is similar to Thomas and William Daniell's great work Oriental Scenery 1795-1808 and displays great artistry by both Salt and his engravers.<br/> <br/>Abbey Travel II 515 no.3.
