ABSTRACTS: The writer considers the factors that contributed to the
ambience of taste and sensibility in which Henry Fox
Talbot developed his picturesque vision of landscape.
These include the superior sense of picturesque
composition seen in drawings by his wife, Constance Mundy,
and his half-sister, Caroline, made during Talbot's
belated honeymoon to Italy in the latter half of 1833,
when the group, together with Caroline's husband, Lord
Valletort, regularly sketched buildings and scenery.
Other factors include the principles of composition as
outlined in the very numerous and popular instructional
manuals published by drawing masters in the late 18th and
early 19th centuries and the picturesque attitude to
landscape and buildings that was then promoted by the
British landed gentry.
