M.A.T.W. [Mary Anne Theresa Whitby] Litho. Newlands 1830.
Rare lithograph. Printed area 110 x 180mm (4¼ x 7"), with wide margins. Foxing, mostly to edges.
The ancient church at Hordle, Hampshire around the time the old church was demolished in 1830. As the enclosure of previously common ground led to the town's population moving further north, the old church was demolished and a new one built closer to the new population centre The printmaker, Mary Anne Theresa Whitby (1784-1850), was married to Captain John Whitby, flag captain for Admiral Sir William Cornwallis. They lived on the admiral's estate, Newlands: after John's death in 1806, Mary stayed on, spending much of her time with Cornwallis, who left his estate to her on his death in 1819. Being a keen amateur lithographer, Whitby established a private press at Newlands, but she is better remembered for the first successful sericulture (silk production) to England after three centuries of attempts, presenting twenty yards of damask to Queen Victoria in 1844. She performed genetic experiments on her silkworms for Charles Darwin, who published her results in his 'The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication' (1868).
