Pictures of Hay 1
A distant view by David Cox
(1783-1859)
An attractive early view of Hay, with the castle and the bridge over the River Wye as viewed from the north-east of the town, is reproduced here.
This is looking into Wales from the English side of the border, and Pen-y-fan on the Brecon Beacons can be seen in the distance, and Hay Bluff is on the left behind the town.

who was born in Birmingham in 1783. His career as an artist began
as an apprentice to a painter of miniatures, and he later worked
in the theatre preparing paint colours and painting scenery.
David Cox moved to London in 1804 where he met and was influenced
in his work by prominent artists of the day.
