William
DANIELL,1769-1837
'A Voyage Round Great Britain' In
early
1813, Daniell conceived
of the ambitious plan to travel around the entire coastline of
Britain while producing an illustrated work of the voyage. ,In
1814, artist engraver William Daniell set out to record the people,
places, towns and villages around Britain's coastline. Eleven years
later he completed his magnum opus having travelled from Land's End
to John 0'Groats via the west coast, then back to Land's End via
the east.The result was a collection of 308 aquatint engravings,
the last great artist's voyage before photography was invented.

William Daniell, an engraver and
painter, belonged to a
family of English artists. He was raised by his uncle, Thomas
Daniell, a painter and engraver, lived with him in India from
1784-94, and worked with him on publications based on his travels.
In 1795 he settled in London, where he remained for the rest of his
life. He collaborated with Thomas on A Voyage Round Great Britain
(1814-25). Daniell was a member of the Royal Academy and exhibited
there from 1795 to 1838
This series was published in 8
volumes
during the period 1814 to
1825. The journey was initially started in 1813 and was a joint
project with William Daniell producing the drawings and William
Ayton the text. This partnership lasted for the first two volumes,
thereafter Daniell produced the text as well. The latter text
relates to the plates and is relatively pedestrian, whereas Ayton
used the voyage for his own agenda and sociological interests, his
text is only loosely related to the plates and concentrates on the
manners and customs of people he met.308 handcoloured
aquatints.
Thomas Sutton in The Daniells
Artists
and Travellers outlines
the journey as follows: . . "During the summer of 1813 Ayton and
Daniell surveyed the coast from Land's End up to Holyhead, where
the first year's voyage closed near the middle of October (plates
1-26). The following year their journeys re commenced at Holyhead,
at the beginning of August, and proceeded as far as Creetown or
Dunsky Castle in Kircudbright. This at any rate, was the limit of
Ayton's tour (plates 27-56). Daniell started off alone from
Wigtown, early in the summer and finished his survey of the entire
coast of Scotland, as far as Dundee, which he reached in October.
This very lengthy tour was rendered possible by an exceptionally
fine spell of weather (plates 57-195).
Six years elapsed before Daniell
commenced the further
prosecution of his journey. Arriving at St. Andrews on August 4th,
1821, he surveyed the remaining portion of the Scottish coast, and
the east coast of England as far as Southend, which he reached
towards the end of September (plates 196-224). The following year
he left Sheerness on July 28th, and explored the south coast as far
as Torquay, whence he returned to London on September 27th (plates
225-277). The concluding tour, a comparatively short one, commenced
from Torquay on Thursday, August 21st, 1823, and embraced the final
portion of the south coast to Land's end, which was reached for the
second time on September 14th (plates 278-308). "
