| Summary |
"Observations upon the Town of Cromer: Considered as a Watering Place, and the Picturesque Scenery in Its Neighbourhood" by Edmund Bartell, Jun. is a comprehensive travelogue and descriptive account of Cromer, a coastal town in Norfolk, written in the early 19th century. This book serves as a blend of travel writing and landscape observation, detailing the scenic beauty and health benefits of Cromer as a seaside resort. The work offers insight into both the natural features of the area and its social aspects, serving a dual purpose of promoting Cromer's attractions and reflecting on its historical significance. The narrative is structured into sections, each focusing on different excursions and the picturesque views surrounding Cromer. Bartell describes the town itself, highlighting its church, local fisheries, and scenic beach, as well as picturesque walks to nearby villages and important estates in the area. Richly detailed with observations on how the landscape changes with the weather and time of day, Bartell's writing captures the essence of the locale's beauty. He also reflects on the interactions between the natural environment and the community's daily life. This work is more than just a travel guide; it inspires an appreciation for the sublime and tranquil aspects of nature, making it a valuable read for those interested in the convergence of art, nature, and the leisurely lifestyle of early 19th-century England.
