Description

Watercolour over pencil heightened with bodycolour and stopping out. This is a view looking south from Cymer Abbey to Penygader, the summit of Cader Idris. Cymer Abbey was founded in 1158-9 as a Cistercian monastery and sits just across the Mawddach river from the village of Llanelltyd. It was dissolved by Henry VIII in the 1530s.
An engraving of this view by Cox was published in 1836 as a steel engraved print in 'Wanderings and Excursions in North Wales'.
