Coalbrookdale and the Iron Bridge — New Insights from the Artists’ Views

Abstract

Abstract Recent research has revealed that a considerable amount of previously unknown and unpublished information is buried within artists’ responses to Coalbrookdale and particularly the Iron Bridge. This paper is a reappraisal of some of those works, especially by Francis Vivares, Thomas Farnolls Pritchard, Elias Martin, John Edmunds, William Williams and Edward Edgcombe.
