At Cologne, from Illustrations of the Rhine

London: R. Ackerman, 1824. Lithograph on cream wove paper, 9 3/4 x 12 inches (247 x 303 mm), margins are trimmed but wide. In good condition with some minor uniform toning and surface soiling, unevenly trimmed margins, and adhesive residue from a former mount at the top right and left corners, verso.

Samuel Prout was born in Plymouth in 1783 to Samuel Prout Senior, a naval outfitter, and Mary Cater, a homemaker; the fourth of fourteen children. Prout grew up in the countryside, and spent his summers as a youth sketching and painting the bucolic valleys, thatched cottages, water mills, and serene rivers in Devon. This ink and wash is likely one of Prout's early works from the years when he was under the tutelage of author, artist and educator Dr. John Bidlake.
