A collection of topographical prints by West Country artist Sue Wills (B.A. Hons), depicting various landmarks across Devon and Cornwall. The group consists of monochrome ink and wash style views and watercolour style scenes. Identified subjects include Dawlish, Torquay, Newton Abbot, Polperro, Looe, the Tamar Bridge, and The Barbican in Plymouth. Each piece is hand-signed by the artist in the lower margin, with several dated between 1995 and 1998. The collection includes multiple limited edition prints with hand-transcribed numbers such as 35/65, 37/60, 12/65, and 4/500, while the view of Dawlish is inscribed as The Original. The prints are likely offset lithograph or giclee reproductions of original ink and wash works. They are housed in uniform or similar dark-stained wooden frames under glass.
Condition report:
Variable condition across the collection. Several prints exhibit prominent foxing and brown spotting to the paper, most notably on the Dawlish, Torquay, and Newton Abbot views. There is general toning to the paper and some light surface dirt under the glass. The frames show minor scuffing and surface wear consistent with age and handling.
