Scotland: Illustrated in a Series of Views (1838) by William Beattie, with artwork by Thomas Allom, W.H. Bartlett, and Horatio McCulloch, is a sumptuous two-volume travelogue (NOTE, ONLY VOLUME 1 OFFERED HERE) that blends picturesque steel engravings with evocative prose. Commissioned expressly for this work, the illustrations capture Scotland's dramatic landscapes, historic ruins, and bustling towns at the height of Romantic fascination with the sublime and the national. Beattie, a physician and poet, provides historical and descriptive commentary alongside each plate, weaving together antiquarian detail, folklore, and personal observation. The result is a richly textured portrait of Scotland, its natural grandeur, cultural heritage, and storied past, intended to stir both patriotic pride and aesthetic delight. This volume includes 41 engraved plates, including a folding map, and were published by George Virtue, a leading figure in illustrated books of the period.

Occaional damp stain on some plates, principally to the blank margins, and more severe on the last two plates extending to the images. 200 pages.
