The Visions of a City Tree
J. W. North
1867
Wood engraving by the Dalziels
6½ x 5 inches
Illustration for Wayside Posies, p.39.
This illustration exemplifies North's interest in unconventional views; valuing the commonplace, he finds beauty in scenes which are not Picturesque in the traditional way, and form a distinct contrast to the art of Myles Birket Foster.
