Inscription: A VIEW OF BEN EIM. / Pub.d Jan.y 1. 1813, by Boydell & Co. 90, Cheapside, London. //
Label: VIEW of BEN ISM, or BEN EIM, / On the Estate of Sir ALEXANDER CAMPBELL, Bart. / RECKONED the highest Hill in the West Highlands, being three Thousand four Hundred feet from the Level of the Sea. / It is situated about ten Miles from Loch-Lomond, and by it is the Pass of Glen Crow, with the famous Military Road, made at / an immense Labour and Expence. When the Weather is Stormy the highest Peak is often lost in the Clouds, in the Manner in / which the Print represents it; and the Base being composed of white Cliffs, and reflecting the Light spread upon the circum- / jacent Plains, adds considerably to the Majesty and Grandeur of the Scene. //
