Lime Kilns near Cardigan 1797

"Lime Kilns near Cardigan" is an anonymous aquatint from 1797. It depicts a stone structure with arched openings and a cottage built on top. The scene is likely in rural Wales and shows a simple, almost picturesque, view of the lime kilns, a vital industry in the area. The use of aquatint, a technique that creates soft, tonal effects, adds to the sense of atmosphere and detail in the artwork. This print provides a glimpse into the landscape and industry of 18th-century Wales.
