"Swansey" is an engraving by John Hill, created in 1800, depicting the Welsh coastal town of Swansea. The detailed image showcases the harbor bustling with ships and boats, while a castle sits atop a hill in the background. The artwork, part of Hill's "Remarks on a Tour to North and South Wales", provides a glimpse into the maritime life of the region in the late 18th century, capturing the architectural features of the town and the surrounding landscape. This print offers a visual record of a significant Welsh port in the early 19th century, serving as a valuable resource for understanding the historical context of the city's development.
