Published and Sold by J. Harvey, Fore Street Sidmouth [n.d., c.1834.]
Lithograph. Sheet 245 x 355mm (9¾ x 14"). Slight spotting.
A view looking through an ivy-covered arch out to sea, with a fish bowl, birdcage and classical bust. Thomas Leversidge Fish bought Knowle in 1821, spending a fortune furnishing the house and grounds with an extraordinary collection of objets d'art, exotic trees and plants, birds and animals including kangaroos, gazelles, alpacas, buffalos, parakeets, peacocks and pelicans. Fish allowed tours of the house every Monday until a theft made him close it to the public. This plate was published in the 'Guide to Illustrations and View of Knowle Cottage, Sidmouth': as Abbey describes it as 'folding' it is likely to have also been issued separately, as this example has no fold.
