Painted by W.m Strutt. Etched by A.W. Strutt.
London, Published Nov.r 1st 1887 by I.P. Mendoza, St James's Gallery, King St, St James's _ Copyright registered.
Etching. 525 x 345mm (20¾ x 13½"), with very large margins.
One Jack Russell terrier puppy wins the race up three steps. William Strutt (1825-1915), son of William Thomas Strutt, travelled to Australia and tried his hand in the Ballarat gold fields. Failing to make his fortune he returned to painting. He travelled to New Zealand 1855-6, and recorded the preparations of the Burke and Wills exploration expedition in 1860-61. He left Australia in 1862, not wanting to bring his children up in such a godless society. Back in England he turned his sketches into full paintings: in 2015 his ''View of Mt Egmont from New Plymouth, with Maori driving off settlers' cattle'' was purchased by the Museum of New Zealand for NZ$1.5 million, becoming the only significant oil painting from the 1850s or 1860s in their collection. The engraver of this plate, Alfred William Strutt, was his son, born in Taranaki, New Zealand in 1856.

"They Won't be Happy Till They Get 'Em."
[Etched by Frank Paton.] G.Yates Carrington /88
[London, Published May 17th 1889 by E.E.Leggatt, 62 Cheapside, E.C.]
Rare etching. 285 x 355mm (11¼ x 14"). Various repaired tears not in the cricket image.
The central image of two terriers either side of a guinea pig's hutch is surrounded by nine vignette scenes. One of these is a cricket match, a scoreboard inscribed with the scores of the opening batsmen: 302 and 189 runs for numbers 1 and 2 respectively. Frank Paton (1856 - 1909) was a successful artist during his lifetime and could even count Queen Victoria as an admirer of his work. He is perhaps most widely known for his series of etched Christmas cards published annually by Edward Ernest Leggatt from 1880 until Paton's death in 1909. They were intended to be a cut above the average Christmas card and sold for half a guinea each. Their format became quite formulaic over the years. A central subject reflecting the title of the print was usually complemented by a series of often humorous sketches around its border. A number of the prints would be sent from the printers to be signed in pencil by Paton, as here. A cricketing item.
