Gezicht op Shrewsbury vanuit het zuidwesten after 1741

Samuel Buck's "Gezicht op Shrewsbury vanuit het zuidwesten" is a detailed engraving depicting the English town of Shrewsbury from a bird's-eye perspective. The image, likely created after 1741, showcases the town's layout, including its winding river and prominent church spires, offering viewers a glimpse into the urban landscape of 18th-century England. This perspective, popular during the Enlightenment, demonstrates a focus on the rational understanding and mapping of the natural world.
