"Lynmouth, North Devon" - painted by J. Holland, 1856. Engraving of a painting from the '...Exhibition at the British Institution...a view of "Lynm outh, North Devon," long a favourite locality with all who are in any way gifted with a sense of the beautiful in nature. That Mr. Holland is so gifted we have an undoubted illustration in the picture before us. May we say it? - w e almost prefer this English landscape to some of those Venetian scenes which have made Mr. Holland so deservedly popular. He inherited a love of English landscape while he acquired his love for foreign landscapes, by a kind of artistic inoculation. Will he forgive us for such a criticism?'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
