GSV1-colman-smith-hill

The hand-coloured headpiece illustration features a landscape and is framed in a thick black rectangle. On the left side of the image, a man leans into the frame, depicted in ¾ profile. He wears a long black coat with a white waistcoat visible underneath, and leans on a walking stick, overlooking a hilly landscape below him.. Hills and trees are rendered in shades of green, blue, purple, and ochre, while a white castle and several small farmhouses are topped with red roofs. To the right, a river with sailboats is visible. Small human figures dot the landscape throughout. At the bottom right of the frame is the artist’s monogram.
