Dave Collins of the Berwyn Ramblers has kindly identified this view for us, as from near Llangollen, in North Wales: ‘On the horizon you can see faithfully shown the Sandstone ridge with Beeston Castle on the left and the Shropshire Wrekin on the right. The nearby castle can only be Chirk castle ... but the artist has exaggerated its size and profile.’ The picture was shown at the Royal Academy in 1874, where it attracted notice from the critic of The Athenaeum, who commented that ‘Nature is his kinder inspirer’ - kinder, that is, than the Bible, one might infer. Two figures walk together in the shadowy glen before the trees.
