A Brawling River of the Fillefi-eld is a 1834 by Edward Price, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a wild, rocky mountain scene with a fast-moving river cutting through jagged cliffs. The water looks rough, and the landscape is dark and textured, almost like ink on paper. Tiny huts sit near the riverbank, and the sky above is stormy, with thick clouds gathering over the peaks. The title says it’s called *A Brawling River of the Fillefi-eld*—the word "brawling" suggests the river is wild and noisy. The artist used shading to make the mountains look dramatic and three-dimensional. If you like this style, check out the Romanticism movement.
The print *A Brawling River of the Fillefi-eld* by Edward Price is part of a book bound in brown leather, which contains 21 prints accompanied by text. It originates from the Lennox-Boyd collection, a significant assemblage of British mezzotints and related materials, acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 2015 through an inheritance tax arrangement. The collection, amassed by the Hon. Christopher Lennox-Boyd, included a wide range of printed works, ephemera, and other items, reflecting his broader interests in art and antiquities.
