Death of the Doe.
[George Stubbs.]
London Republished June 4, 1817 by Edw.d Orme, New Bond Street, corner of Brook Street.
Mezzotint, printed in colours and hand-finished. 400 x 505mm (15¾ x 20").
A rare mezzotint of the painting exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1801 with the title ''A park scene at the Grove, near Watford Herts, the seat of the Earl of Clarenden'', which includes a portrait of the Earl's gamekeeper Thomas Freeman. In 'The Complete Engraved Works of George Stubbs' the authors write that as the mezzotint was first published in 1804 it is likely to have been a collaboration between George Stubbs (who was 80 years old at the time) and his son George Townley Stubbs: the 1804 impression have the inscription 'G. Stubbs, No. 24 Somerset Str. Portman Square’, thus listing George Stubbs only as publisher. The painting is now in the Paul Mellon Collection, Yale Center for British Art.

Sweet William.
Stubbs pinx. J.G.B.
Hullmandel No. 10. [n.d., c.1840.]
Very scarce lithograph. Sheet size: 360 x 450mm (14¼ x 17½"). Very light mount burn.
A portrait of the racehorse 'Sweet William', standing in profile to the left. Sweet William was bred by William Cornforth of Barforth, near Richmond, Yorkshire, and was bought by Lord Bolingbroke, for whom he won his first race in 1772, at the New Market Spring Meeting. His success brought him to the attention of one of George Stubbs's most important patrons, Richard, 1st Earl Grosvenor, a celebrated breeder and racehorse owner, who promptly purchased Sweet William. The horse remained in Lord Grosvenor's ownership thereafter. The original portrait was one of sixteen paintings which Stubbs executed for the Turf Gallery project.
Ex Collection: the Late Honourable Christopher Lennox-Boyd.

A Tigress.
Engraved by John Murphy by Permission of Mr. George Stubbs from the Picture Painted by himself and in his Possession.
London, Published July 27, 1798 by J. Murphy, North side Paddington Green.
Coloured mezzotint. Sheet 490 x 610mm (19¼ x 24"). Trimmed to platemark. Very slight hole above tiger's head.
A very rare mezzotint, probably engraved from the life-size portrait of the Royal Tiger in Stubbs's possession when he died. The painting had originally been engraved by John Dixon in 1772; however that mezzotint plate had been destroyed, so John Murphy was allowed to engrave a new plate. A beautifully-coloured example of one of the finest images produced in the history of mezzotint.
