"The Town of Perth" is a hand-colored aquatint by John Heaviside Clark (1770-1863) now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago. The aquatint, a printmaking technique utilizing acid to create tonal effects, depicts a picturesque view of Perth, Scotland. The image features a winding river and hills, along with a charming depiction of townsfolk enjoying leisure activities. This artwork provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of Perth and its surroundings in the 19th century.
