Artist Biography

Brothers Samuel and Nathaniel Buck made their names as leading British topographical draughtsmen of the eighteenth century. Over a period of thirty-four years, the Bucks produced several hundred drawings and engravings, including eighty-seven engraved prospects of England and Wales. These are now important visual records of the appearance of British urban landscapes prior to the changes that occurred during the Industrial Revolution. In some cases, the places depicted have since disappeared or changed beyond recognition.
