context_page_description: Hugh Hughes was a Welsh painter, engraver and writer.
context_section_description: The earliest known work by Hughes is a portrait (dated 1812) of the Rev. John Evans (1723–1817) of Bala, which was engraved in Volume III of the Drysorfa.
  Hughes's major woodcuts appear in his Beauties of Cambria (Carmarthen, 1823) in which all the views were engraved by himself, 58 from his own drawings; he has been compared to Thomas Bewick. He also made lithographs of Welsh scenery. He made caricatures of the commissioners of education sent to Wales (1846–47). Some of his sketches, including a map of North Wales under the name Dame Venedotia, Pitt's Head near Beddgelert, and others of the neighbourhood of Snowdon, were published at Caernarfon. His sketch of Pwllheli and St. Tudwall's Road is in Humphrey's Book of Views.
  Hughes also published:
  Hynafion Cymreig, a work on Welsh antiquities, Carmarthen, 1823.
  Y Trefnyddion a'r Pabyddion, 1828(?).
  Lectures delivered before the London Cymmrodorion, in Seren Gomer, 1831.
  Y Papur Newydd Cymreig, 1836 (a Welsh newspaper), wrongly ascribed to another in Cardiff Eisteddfod Transactions, 1883.
  Y Drefn i Ddyogelu purdeb Bywyd, 1849.
  The Genteelers, a sarcastic political pamphlet.
  Yr Eglwys yn yr Awyr, essay in Y Traethodydd, 1853.
  He also edited three volumes of sermons by his father-in-law, David Charles; the one published in 1846 contained a memoir.
  The holdings of the National Library of Wales include a collection of works by Hugh Hughes.
