Henry G. Gastineau (1791-1876) was a topographer and landscape artist. He trained as an engraver and then became a student at the Royal Academy. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1812 and with the Oil and Watercolour Society between 1818 and 1820. He was elected an Associate of the Old Watercolour Society (AOWS) in 1821 and became a full member two years later. He travelled extensively throughout Britain, Switzerland and Italy. From 1827, Gastineau worked in Camberwell, south London as a drawing master and exhibited at the Watercolour Society for a total of fifty-eight years. He died on 17 January 1876 at Camberwell . Gastineau's interpretation of the landscape was romantic and sublime concentrating on the wild and romantic scenery. He was influenced in his work by Turner and Varley, and his work has sometimes been mistaken for the work of Turner and Peter De Wint. Examples can be seen in a number of public collections, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

The prints in this work are extensive, they cover a wide range of views in Wales and meet a high standard. The picturesque scenery within Wales is conveyed well as are the many castles, churches and other buildings of interest. The people in various parts of the country are expressed within their surroundings showing their way of life, therefore, their culture.The early industrial views such as Nant y Glo are particularly interetsing showing the sheer scale of the industrial revolution in Wales and its impact upon the Landscape. . . .. these are priced according to condition from £4 for an unmounted untinted with some flaws to a tinted mounted perfect version at £10 ea 

As is common at this time the work was sold in many formats loose to bind yourself; south Wales; North Wales etc so the list is probably not yet complete . . ie PRODUCED IN VARIOUS COMBINATIONS, NORTH WALES, SOUTH WALES & COMBINED EDITIONS.

Wales Illustrated, in a Series of Views, Comprising the Picturesque Scenery, Towns, Castles, Seats of the Nobility and Gentry, Antiquities etc. Engraved in Steel from Original Drawings by Henry Gastineau. Accompanied by Historical and Topographical Descriptions . .
