The Barge of the Adventure saving the Crew of a Bombard [ms].
M.A.J. Whitby. Newlands 1828.
Rare lithograph, printed area and text 130 x 170mm (5 x 6¾").
This print probably shows the crew of the HMS Adventure coming to the aid of shipwrecked sailors, perhaps off the coast of North Africa. The printmaker, Mary Anne Theresa Whitby (1784-1850) appears to have spent time in Italy and North Africa in the 1820s or before, and the Adventure was in Leptis Magna, near Tripoli in modern-day Libya, in 1817. Whitby was married to Captain John Whitby, flag captain for Admiral Sir William Cornwallis. They lived on the admiral's estate, Newlands: after John's death in 1806, Mary stayed on, spending much of her time with Cornwallis, who left his estate to her on his death in 1819. Being a keen amateur lithographer, Whitby established a private press at Newlands, but she is better remembered for the first successful sericulture (silk production) to England after three centuries of attempts, presenting twenty yards of damask to Queen Victoria in 1844. She performed genetic experiments on her silkworms for Charles Darwin, who published her results in his 'The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication' (1868).
