Thomas Miles Richardson, (1784-1848) Having revealed a deep love of drawing he didn't follow this passion until after his fathers death when he accepted a position as Drawing Master at a Newcastle school. In 1813, after six years as both master of St Andrew's and a private drawing master, he resigned his school position to devote his life to painting. Initially his work attracted little local interest, and he found it difficult to make a living as an artist. However, from 1814, he began to gain a wide reputation as a result of his exhibiting works in London, at the Royal Academy and the British Institution. In 1813, after six years as both master of St Andrew's and a private drawing master, he resigned his school position to devote his life to painting. Initially his work attracted little local interest, and he found it difficult to make a living as an artist. However, from 1814, he began to gain a wide reputation as a result of his exhibiting works in London, at the Royal Academy and the British Institution. Richardson continued to live in Newcastle, and so dominate the local art scene. In 1822, his own house in Brunswick Place was used as the venue for the first fine art exhibition to be staged in the North of England. The success of the exhibition led to the foundation of first the Northumberland Institution for the Promotion of Fine Arts, and later the Northern Academy of Arts. In 1831, he also helped to launch the Northern Society of Painters in Water-Colours. A leading exhibiting member of these organisations, he made a particularly notable contribution to the Northern Academy in 1830 with four large paintings. Moot Hall, the Castle Keep, the neo-Gothic spire of St. Nicholas' church ar all visible in this view. Gateshead was a prosperous settlement in the Roman Times, and during the Industrial Revolution and Victorian Era it became one of the focal points for industries in the North East due to its easily accessible port.

Thomas Miles Richardson, (1784-1848) Having revealed a deep love of drawing he didn't follow this passion until after his fathers death when he accepted a position as Drawing Master at a Newcastle school. In 1813, after six years as both master of St Andrew's and a private drawing master, he resigned his school position to devote his life to painting. Initially his work attracted little local interest, and he found it difficult to make a living as an artist. However, from 1814, he began to gain a wide reputation as a result of his exhibiting works in London, at the Royal Academy and the British Institution. Richardson continued to live in Newcastle, and so dominated the local art scene. In 1822, his own house in Brunswick Place was used as the venue for the first fine art exhibition to be staged in the North of England. The success of the exhibition led to the foundation of first the Northumberland Institution for the Promotion of Fine Arts, and later the Northern Academy of Arts. In 1831, he also helped to launch the Northern Society of Painters in Water-Colours. A leading exhibiting member of these organisations, he made a particularly notable contribution to the Northern Academy in 1830 with four large paintings.

Jonath:n Richardson pinxit. Geo: Vertue Sculpsit.
1719.
Engraving. Plate 375 x 274mm. 14¾ x 10¾". Tearing and staining around the edges.
Matthew Prior (1664-1721) was an English poet and diplomat. On his father's death, he left school, and was cared for by his uncle, a vintner in Channel Row. Here Lord Dorset found him reading Horace, and set him to translate an ode. He did so well that the earl offered to contribute to the continuation of his education at Westminster. One of his schoolfellows and friends was Charles Montagu, 1st Earl of Halifax. It was to avoid being separated from Montagu and his brother James that Prior accepted, against his patron's wish, a scholarship recently founded at St John's College, Cambridge. He took his B.A. degree in 1686, and two years later became a fellow. In collaboration with Montagu he wrote in 1687 the City Mouse and Country Mouse, in ridicule of John Dryden's The Hind and the Panther.

Robert Raymond (1673-1733), 1st Baron Raymond PC, British judge. In 1725 he was invested as Privy Counsellor. Raymond, a Tory, was appointed as Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench on March 2, 1725 until his death. In the House of Lords he tried to stop the House of Commons abandoning Law French and replacing it with English. To Raymond, ending the traditional language might lead to other 'modernisations' such as Welsh for courts in Wales. However his opposition failed and in 1733 the courts were anglicised.
