John Constable made this print, *A Summerland*, in the mid-1800s. It’s part of a famous series he guided by hand. The prints show English countryside scenes in mezzotint, a tricky dark-to-light method. He picked 22 views from his own paintings and sketches. Only 22 copies exist from the first run. Later editions came out after his death. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see the whole set.
