[Unidentified ship, previously thought to be the 'Coonatto']
TGD [artist's monogram T. G. Dutton] 506.
[London, William Foster, 15th July 1863.]
Tinted lithograph with hand colour, proof before letters. Image 405 x 595mm (16 x 23¼").
The Coonatto, a three-masted ship of 633 tons, built in London by Thomas Bilbé in 1863. Used as an Australian wool clipper, the name is an Aboriginal word for a food-bearing tree. In 1876 the Coonatto ran aground on rocks under the Seven Sisters in Sussex, where some of her iron remains can still be seen at low tide. Her captain, Captain Hillman, had his certificate suspended for three months for negligence, although there was speculation he wrecked the Coonatto for insurance money. However as his next ship, the 'Inch Kenneth' foundered the following year, killing Hillman, it would seem he was just inept.

A view of the Cliveden, the Italianate mansion and estate at Taplow, Buckinghamshire. The house was first built in 1666 by William Winde as the home for George Villiers, 2nd Duke of Buckingham, however the house burned down in 1795. The house depicted here is that which was leased to Frederick Prince of Wales from 1737-1751. Thomas Arne's "Rule Britania" was first performed. The present house designed by Sir Charles Barry, as a blend of the English Palladian and Roman Cinquecento was built for George Sutherland-Leveson-Gower, 2nd Duke of Sutherland. In 1893 the estate was purchased by the American billionaire William Waldorf Astor. In 1942, the Astors gave Cliveden to the National Trust but lived there until 1968.
