This detailed steel engraving titled “Dunkeld (Perthshire)” was drawn by T. Allom and engraved by E. Finden. It beautifully depicts the historic Scottish town of Dunkeld, nestled along the banks of the River Tay and surrounded by the majestic Grampian Mountains. At the center of the composition is a stately arched stone bridge that spans the calm river, leading the eye toward a large Gothic-style building—likely Dunkeld Cathedral—partially obscured by trees. The surrounding landscape features rolling hills and dense woodlands, evoking a sense of serene grandeur. In the foreground, a richly detailed scene unfolds: two finely dressed gentlemen converse near a stone wall, accompanied by a dog, while others ride horses along a path bordered by tall trees. The engraving captures both the natural splendor and cultural richness of Perthshire, showcasing the harmony between architecture and landscape typical of 19th-century romantic views. It was published in 1837 by Geo. Virtue, 26 Ivy Lane, London, for the proprietors.
