Source Description
Richards, a Philadelphia artist, first visited Tintagel on the Cornish coast in 1878. He recorded his impressions in a notebook which he subsequently drew upon in preparing a number of oil paintings and large gouaches.Although the ruins visible on the cliffs date from the 13th century A.D., there is evidence of a sixth century substructure which lends credence to the legend that King Arthur was born on this site.
