This print shows a quiet village by a river. A few small buildings sit near the water, with smoke rising from one chimney. Mountains loom in the background, dark and misty. The shore is rocky, with logs piled up and a lone person walking.

Overview
The print *The Inn at Dfnet* by Edward Price appears in a book bound in brown leather with a matching cover, which contains 21 prints accompanied by text. The volume was part of the Lennox-Boyd collection, a private assemblage of approximately 50,000 prints, primarily mezzotints by David Lucas after John Constable, later acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 2015. The collection also included 18th-century picture frames, antique women’s shoes, fans, printed handkerchiefs, and printed ephemera, reflecting a broad interest in graphic and decorative arts. Lennox-Boyd expanded his holdings in the 1960s and 1970s, adding watercolors and operating Sanders of Oxford as a prominent dealer in prints, maps, and engravings.
