Stoke-on-Trent: Published by Day & Son Ltd., 1866. Colour-printed lithograph. Very good condition apart from some overall light soiling and minor foxing, mild rippling, and a 7/8" tear in the right margin. Slight adhesive residue along the edge of the top margin. 14 1/8 x 24 inches. 17 x 29 1/8 inches. A quaint, scenic view of Congleton, a historic market town located in Cheshire, between the Potteries and Manchester. This print is dedicated to Sir Charles Watkin Shakerly Bart of Somerford Park, whose family seat was situated in Somerford Park, near Congleton and from which this view may have been taken. Based in London where he occasionally exhibited, the landscape painter Jonathan Needham executed a number of topographical illustrations, some of which were included in Harding & Lawson's Scotland Delineated (1847-54) and J.C. Schetky's A Cruise in Scotch Waters. Cf. Benezit, Dictionnaire des Peintres, Sculpteurs, Dessinateurs et Graveurs, vol. 10, p. 131.
