This is the cover of an album by the British painter Charles George Lewis, a well-known landscape painter. It depicts a journey taken by Lewis in 1870 through the Highlands of Scotland, a popular subject for landscape painters of the time. The image is a close-up of the album cover, featuring handwritten text detailing the location and date of the journey, "Aug 21st 1870. Loch Inver to Pomona, Kirkwall Orkney. Chas. G. Lewis." The cover suggests a sense of travel and adventure, echoing the romantic spirit of landscape painting in the 19th century.
