Mellor Mill, a six-story cotton mill in Marple (now Greater Manchester), built by Samuel Oldknow 1793-5. Extremely rare & fine image. Oldknow (1756-1828) was a cotton manufacturer at the forefront of the Industrial Revolution. Early in his career he used the 'putting-out' system of production, distributing raw cotton to spinners and yarn to weavers who worked in their own homes and workshops. This could not compete against the Indian muslin trade, so he secured money to built this factory. A financial crisis caused by the French Revolutionary Wars put him on the brink of bankrupcy, but he was saved by a partnership with Richard Arkwright. By the time this print was published the mill had over 500 employees, including a number of parish apprentices who were brought up from London. He was known as a good employer: his farming interests allowed him to supply his workers with food and he built them housing. He also introduced his own system of paper money to pay his workforce which could be exchanged for goods at the village shop or for cash via third parties. However by the time of his death he was £206,000 in debt. Oldknow also invested in the Peak Forest Canal, on which was the Marple Aqueduct, which was also the subject of an aquatint by Joseph Parry and Francis Jukes.

[Memorial Theatre, Stratford-on-Avon.] 25. [The original Shakespeare memorial, consisting of a theatre, picture gallery and library, built in 1877, was largely destroyed by fire in 1926. At the request of the governors, the Royal Institute of British Architects instituted a competition to open to architects in the British Isles, Canada and the United States of America. The plan chosen was that of Miss Elizabeth Scott, and the new building was opened in April, 1932. It is a brick building of bolds, rather severe, outlings, standing in an unrivalled position on the bank of the Avon. The shell of the old theatre was converted into a fine Conference Hall seating between four and five hundred persons. The theatre is elaborately equipped to ensure the same continuity of scenes as the plays had in Shakespeare's day. Every year the theatre presents a festival of plays both by Shakespeare and other playwrights.]

Two transfer lithographs and one etching, lithograph sheets approx 115 x 180mm (4½ x 7"), etching 65 x 50mm (2½ x 2"). Each glued to backing sheet. Portrait trimmed to image in oval shape.
Two views near Milford on Sea, Hampshire, looking towards the needles, taken from Newlands, the estate the naval officer Sir William Cornwallis bought in 1799. 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). With a very late and worn double portrait of Henri IV and Msrie de Médicis by Simon van de Passe (etched c.1625, from a medal).

Moseley Hall, belonged to John Taylor, and was burnt down after the rioters had carefully moved all the furniture and belongings of the occupant, the Dowager Lady Carhampton, a relative of George III . The Priestley Riots, the Birmingham Riots of 1791, targeted religious Dissenters, most notably the politically and theologically controversial Joseph Priestley. From "Views of the Ruins of the Principal Houses destroyed during the Riots at Birmingham. 1791." On the 14th of July, 1791, a party having met at an hotel to celebrate the anniversary of the French revolution, collected together as a mob, and proceeded for several days their devastations, setting fire to several meeting-houses and private mansions, but on the arrival of the military from Oxford and Hounslow, order was restored: at the ensuing assizes four of the ring-leaders were convicted, two of whom suffered the penalty of the law. Shortly after this occurrence barracks were erected on the Vauxhall-road, near the town, consisting of a range of handsome buildings, enclosing a spacious area for the exercise of cavalry, and a smaller for parades, a riding-school, a magazine, and an hospital.

He was an amateur architect and designer who commissioned Henry Bell to over see a grand project. Being a follower of Lord Burlington is is said that Burlington gave to Fountaine the Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini designed inset canvases on hallway walls. Narford is noted for its monkey ceiling, painted by Andien de Clermont, 1739-40. Fountaine was made vice-chamberlain by Queen Caroline, consort of Geroge II, and tutor to her third son, William August.

The Needles & Milford Church, from Newlands.
M.A.T.W. [Mary Anne Theresa Whitby] Litho. Newlands 1829.
Very rare lithograph on chine collé. 165 x 165mm (6½ x 6½").
View near Milford on Sea, Hampshire, looking towards the needles. Taken from the country seat of Newlands, which the naval officer Sir William Cornwallis bought in 1799. 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).

[Colt Hunting in the New Forest.]
Lucy Kemp-Welch 1897.
Photogravure, artist's proof signed by the artist, limited to 275. Sheet 380 x 695mm (15 x 27½"). Printsellers' Association blind stamp. Trimmed within plate.
Riders rounding up some of the New Forest ponies. Lucy Kemp-Welch (1869-1958) exhibited the original painting (approximately 5ft x 10ft) at the Royal Academy in 1897, when she was only 26 years old. It caused a sensation and was promptly sold for £525 to the trustees of the Chantrey Bequest, a fund set up to buy British art to create a national collection. Despite being set up in 1875 this was only the third artwork by a woman bought by them. The painting was then transferred to the Tate Gallery when it opened that year, but was never displayed: it is said her support for the suffragette movement meant her work was blacklisted by the patriarchal establishment.
