Usk Bridge, Monmouth, Coloured from aon old painting, in Usk, Monmouthshire, Wales more
This is a version of the engraving of Usk Bridge to which i have applied the colour from an old painting; the artist of the painting was not attributed, but the details were a very close match so the engraving in the book was without question a copy.
The Usk rises on the north side of the mountain arch in S. Wales and runs through Brecknock; but it finds its way by a break in an arch south of the Fan to the inner side, and falls into the Bristol Channel below Newport. Numerous streams of less note fill the valleys of Glamorganshire. (p. 6)
