John Hill's "Nantz Mill" (1799) is an etching that depicts a mill in a mountainous landscape. The print is likely from an illustrated book, "Remarks on a Tour to North and South Wales, in the year 1797," showcasing a romantic view of the Welsh landscape and its industrial activity. Hill, a prolific landscape artist, was known for his detailed depictions of the natural world, and his work often captured the beauty of the British countryside. This etching provides a glimpse into the industrial life of 18th-century Wales, highlighting the importance of mills and the dramatic beauty of the surrounding mountains.
