A Brecon –
A wonderful insight into a previously unheralded source of information about mid-nineteenth century North Wales. Buildings and landscapes are seen through the words and stunning paintings of the Reverend John Parker on his travels through Snowdonia. Text and illustrations combine in a carefully researched, thoroughly-referenced, well-produced book. A valuable addition to the library of anyone with an interest in the history of the area.
