"Views To Illustrate The Route Of The Simplon" is a collection of aquatint engravings by British artist James Pattison Cockburn. Published in 1821, the work is a visual documentation of the Simplon Pass, a mountain pass located in the western Swiss Alps. The collection is renowned for its detailed and picturesque representation of the landscape, architecture, and everyday life along the historic route.

Cockburn, a career military officer and accomplished artist, was known for his topographical works, particularly those depicting scenes from his travels. "Views To Illustricate The Route Of The Simplon" is considered one of his most significant contributions to the genre of landscape art. The collection's 25 plates, based on Cockburn's original watercolor sketches, were engraved by a number of artists, including Henry Pyall and Daniel Havell.

The work provides a unique historical perspective on the Simplon Pass, which was a significant trade and military route in the early 19th century. Napoleon Bonaparte had ordered the construction of a new road through the pass in the early 1800s, and Cockburn's collection captures the region during this transformative period.

"Views To Illustrate The Route Of The Simplon" is not only a significant artistic work but also an important historical document.
