Turner, an English Romantic landscape painter, watercolorist and printmaker, is known for his impressive landscape paintings and ability to depict light, and his works are considered a Romantic preface to Impressionism. Engraved by Robert Wallis and published by Williams Stevens & Williams in New York.
