"Gezicht op Newbury" is an 1802 engraving by John Walker (1776-1802) depicting the town of Newbury, England. The print captures a panoramic view of the town from a distance, showcasing its rural setting and the surrounding countryside. The landscape is depicted in detail, with a winding road leading to the town, farmhouses scattered amidst the trees, and a church in the center of the town. The composition is balanced, with a foreground of trees and figures providing a sense of scale and perspective. The print was likely intended as a souvenir or a record of the town's appearance during this period.
