[Landscape Gardening]
H. Repton Esq. del. J.C. Stadler sculpt. [c.1800]
Aquatint, platemark approx. 505 x 345mm (20 x 13½"). Several tears. Damaged bottom left.
Fine image representative of landscape gardening by one of its pioneers, Humphry Repton (1752-1818), and possibly published as the frontispiece to one of his many books. Two passages of text, one from Edmund Burke on the Sublime, together claim that gardens are works of art rather than nature, and can only become great by availing themselves of the resources of deception and artifice characteristic of art. Repton was the last great English landscape designer of the 18th century, who coined the term 'landscape gardener'. Regarded as the successor to Capability Brown, he worked at Blaise Castle, Woburn Abbey, Stoneleigh Abbey & the central gardens in Russell Square, but lost out on the Prince Regent's Brighton Pavilion to John Nash (although he published his designs).

Ornamental rococo frame surrounding a scene representing Artemis/Diana sitting on clouds with, behind her, a monumental doorway and hunters in a landscape.

Often pictures would be set into the boiseries, the carving framing the picture rather like a conventional frame. After Antoine Watteau ( 1684 - 1721), from the 'Recueil Jullienne' series, Plate 87 to 'L'Oeuvre d'Antoine Watteau Peintre du Roy'. Jean de Jullienne (1686 - 1766) was a Parisian collector and patron of the arts who owned some 450 drawings by Watteau, and had them engraved.

Although Swiny planned the series to be 25 plates, only nine were issued. When Swiny died his estate was left in trust for actress Margaret (Peg) Woffington; his collection of paintings were sold in 1755, when presumably Boydell bought the plates of this series.

[Landscape with Trees, Girls Crossing Footbridge.]
W Havell.
[1807]
Rare pen lithograph. Sheet 320 x 230mm (12½ x 9"). Trimmed to image as normal, tipped on album sheet. Staining bottom right.
An early pen lithograph first published in the second issue of 'Specimens of Polyautography' issued in 1807. The first part of 'Specimens' (1803) was the first set of artist's lithographs ever published, showcasing the new medium which allowed artists to make prints arguably resembling drawings more than any earlier technique. Unlike most printmaking techniques, lithography required no special training as artists could work directly onto the plate and leave specialist printers to actually make the prints. For this reason many artists who were not trained printmakers (such as Géricault and Delacroix) often worked in lithography. By William Havell (1782-1857), landscape painter. This print was made in the year that the young artist moved from Reading to London, quickly establishing a reputation for his acute observation of nature. Havell later spent ten years living in China and India (1816-26), drawing many of his later subjects from these experiences.
