Countryman in London.
Printed and Published by W. Davison Alnwick. [n.d., c.1816.]
Etching. 170 x 235mm (6¾ x 9¼").
A satire on the bewilderment of a rustic in the metropolis: a barker offers him a bill, 'Milse's Wild Beasts', pointing to a sign inscribed 'Royal Tiger'. The Yale Center for British Art suggests this is an exhbition of George Stubbs' painting. By William Davison (1780 - 1858), publisher of popular prints and satires, and pharmacist, usually referred to as Davison of Alnwick. In the period between 1812 and 1817, Davison produced a number of caricatures, amusing if somewhat crudely executed plates often based on better known prints. Peter Isaac suggests that the majority date to about 1816.

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.

Miss Linwood.
Engraved by P.W. Tomkins, Historical Engraver to her Majesty.
London, Published as the Act directs, April 29, 1806, for the Proprietor, by P.W. Tomkins, 49, New Bond St.
Colour-printed stipple. 494 x 393mm. 19½ x 15½". Two small creases just inside the platemark.
Mary Linwood (1755-1845) was a needle woman who exhibited her worsted embroidery or crewel embroidery in Leicester and London, and was the school mistress of a private school later known as Mary Linwood Comprehensive School. She received a medal in 1790 from the Society of Arts. For nearly seventy-five years Mary worked in worsted embroidery, producing a collection of over 100 pictures that specialised in full size copies of old masters. She opened an exhibition in the Hanover Square Rooms in 1798, which afterward travelled to Leicester Square, Edinburgh and Dublin. Mary Linwood's copies of old master paintings in crewel wool (named from the crewel or worsted wool used), in which the irregular and sloping stitches resembled brushwork, achieved great fame from the time of her first London exhibition in 1787. She met most of the crowned heads of Europe. Her exhibition in Leicester Square, London, was the first art show to be illuminated by gaslight. So successful was Mary Linwood that she was able to commission John Hoppner to paint her portrait; and John Constable's first commissioned work was to paint the background details in one of her works. The needle work pictures continued to be exhibited in Leicester square in London continuously for forty year. See Stock No: 28138 Worsted Embroidery, A Tigress, after Stubbs.

[Period scrap album containing an etching published by Darton, 1817; 'Natives pursuing Kangaroo's in the neighbourhood of New South Wales' after George Stubbs.]
[n.d., c.1817.] [Illustration; London, Published by Darton, Harvey & Darton, Gracechurch Street, Sept.r 1, 1817. ]
Scrap album. Size: 290 x 230mm (11½ x 9"). Broken at spine.
A period scrap album containing mixed material, including prints, silhouetted cut-outs, drawings and watercolours, largely natural history. Includes a hand coloured etching titled, 'Natives pursuing Kangaroo's in the neighbourhood of New South Wales'; two Aborigines hunting kangaroos with spears, European buildings and a ship in the background. The female has two joeys in her pouch, a very unlikely occurence. The shape of the kangaroos is based on the illustration by George Stubbs, painted from a skin provided by Sir Joseph Banks and used in the Official Account of Cook's First Voyage. The representation of Sydney is among the first of the colony.
