A set of four etchings by Benjamin Green (1739 - 1798), plates numbered 1 - 4. Plate 1; untitled, depicts three figures on a large boulder by the side of a path, with what appears to be a ruined building behind. Two other figures, one on horseback, can be seen in the distance. Plate 2; 'At Abingdon'. Two figures are stood outside a house with a ladder leaning up against it. A dog can be see to the right. Plate 3; 'At Islington'. A figure is sat in the foreground with a dog, facing towards a large Georgian house. A church spire can be seen in the background to the left. Plate 4; untitled scene at the waters edge, with a sailing boat in the centre. Two figures can be seen in the foreground, one kneeling down to a basket, the other standing. Green was one of the first English artists to use soft-ground etching (the technique employed here). Many of his plates were sold on to other publishers, with the result that impressions continued to be printed posthumously (as here). DNB

Rare view of the Oxford Physic Garden, with putti presenting plans and scroll bearing the inscription on the entrance to the garden. The view focuses on the famous gateway and entrance portico built by Nicholas Stone after designs by Inigo Jones. Founded in 1621 by Henry Danvers, Earl of Danby, its purpose was the study of medicinal plants. Building the Garden, on the site of the former medieval Jewish cemetery, cost the enormous sum of £5000. Much of that sum went on the walls which enclosed the original garden, and comparatively little was left for plants! It was renamed the Oxford Botanic Garden in 1840 and is the oldest surviving physic and botanic garden in Britain.
