Sneehattan is a 1834 by Edward Price, a Romanticism work, depicting Kashmir, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a rugged mountain range with jagged peaks fading into mist. In the foreground, rocky cliffs and sparse shrubs lead down to a winding river. The dark foreground contrasts with the lighter, hazy mountains in the distance. The title *Sneehattan* hints this is a view of Kashmir, a region known for its dramatic landscapes. The artist used deep blacks and soft whites to create a sense of depth and mystery. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this print in person.
The print *Sneehattan* by Edward Price appears in a brown-bound book containing 21 prints and accompanying text. It was part of the Lennox-Boyd collection, a significant assemblage of British mezzotints and related printed materials, acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 2015 through the UK government’s inheritance tax scheme. The collection, amassed by the Hon. Christopher Lennox-Boyd, included a broad range of printed ephemera, decorative arts, and publications on prints and engravings.
