William Daniell


William Daniell RA (1769-1837), who was orphaned by the age of 10, was raised by his uncle, a talented artist. When William was only fourteen, they sailed to India via China. On their return to England, ten years later, they published jointly prints of oriental and Indian views. William Daniell’s masterpiece, A Voyage Round the Coasts of Great Britain, likewise involved ten years travel (1813-1823), and resulted in eight volumes containing 308 fine aquatints of marine subjects. Birlinn’s edition, Daniell’s Scotland contains the Scottish section of this work, printed in full colour.
