Tonge's Travels

When John Watts prepared the watercolours for Tonge's Travels he also did some line drawings, including one of the view that features on the title page. It demanded a poster which I have done here, with a short quotation from George Tonge's diary in which he describes the Bay of Naples. In some copies of the poster John has made Vesuvius active.


18pt Caslon from the Stephenson Blake foundry printed on a quarter-sheet of hand-made paper from Carteria Amatruda, Amalfi. 34*49cm. £20.
