For this lavishly illustrated study, Raymond Lister, the foremost authority on Samuel Palmer (1805-1881), has chosen 75 works from every period of the artist's career.
Palmer's technique is described, his visual and literary sources are investigated, and the continuity of his art is emphasised. The full biographical introduction relates the story of his happy early years and his often sad later decades.
