The Works of Edward Dayes is a book that contains the sketches of Edward Dayes, an English watercolour painter and engraver who lived from 1763 to 1804. The book is a collection of Dayes’ works, which includes his sketches of an excursion through the principal parts of Derbyshire and Yorkshire, two counties in England. Published in 1805, the book is a fascinating insight into the landscape and architecture of these two counties during the late 18th century. The sketches are accompanied by descriptions of the places and landmarks that Dayes visited, providing readers with a vivid picture of what life was like in these areas during this time. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Derbyshire and the second part on Yorkshire. Each section contains numerous sketches, with Dayes’ signature style of delicate watercolour painting and intricate line work. Overall, The Works of Edward Dayes is a valuable historical document that provides a fascinating glimpse into the past. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of England, art, or architecture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
