Picturesque Views on the Southern Coast of England
1814-1826
Panorama across a stormy Atlantic shadowed in thunderous overhead clouds riven by lightning. Above the high rocky promontory seabirds rest amidst the wild surroundings of England's most westerly point. The view, which looks across Whitesand Bay to Cape Cornwall with the hazardous rocks known as the Brisons to the left, is all the more desolate for the absence of any human presence.
