J. M. W Turner

Watercolors to Books

Today’s travel guides can trace their roots to 19th-century travel books with elegantly etched views that originated as watercolors. British landscape painter Joseph Mallord William Turner broke new artistic ground with breathtaking watercolors reproduced as etchings to illustrate travel books, poetry, and novels.
