The Return from a Course on Lambourn Downs near Ashdown Park, a Hunting Seat of the Right Honourable Fulwar Lord Craven.
J. Seymour Pinx.t. Walker Sculp.t.
London Printed for Rob.t Sayer, at the Golden Buck near Serjeants Inn Fleet Street. [n.d., c.1750.]
Very scarce engraving. Framed. Printed area: 440 x 320mm (17¼ x 12¼"). Frame size: 455 x 570mm (17¾ x 22½"). Unexamined out of frame.
A scene depicting Lord Fulwar Craven, on horse back, in profile to the right, dressed in hunting costume with a view of Ashdown House in the background. The house was built by William Earl Craven (supposedly for Elizabeth of Bohemia, sister of Charles I, but she died before construction was started). It was gifted by the family to the National Trust in 1956 and is now tenanted by Pete Townsend of 'The Who', who has undertaken a substantial renovation. Another attendant to the hunt is also on a horse, behind to the left. A huntsman with a dead hare is standing before him, with two greyhounds and a smaller horse. Fulwar Craven, 4th Baron Craven, was an English nobleman and sportsman who was educated at Rugby School and Magdalen College, Oxford. He was famously fond of racing and hunting, hunting on his Berkshire estates at Hamstead Marshall and Ashdown Park, keeping his own stud of racehorses and founding a racecourse at Lambourn. He and his brother William founded the Craven Hunt.

[Notice announcing Jacob Henry Astley's intention to run as candidate for Norfolk, with letter from Astley to James Sayers] To the Gentlemen Clergy, and Freeholders, of the County of Norfolk [...]
Melton Constable, Feb. 20th, 1807
Letterpress and ms, 230 x 190mm (9 x 7½"). Small tears, folds etc.
Jacob Henry Astley (1756-1817), from an ancient and influential Norfolk family, was candidate for the county from 1797-1806, an instrument of Thomas William Coke's ambition to secure a Whig monopoly. With support waning and facing another contest, Astley withdrew in 1806 and ceded his interest to William Windham, but soon returned to the fold, as this notice indicates. It was sent to James Sayers of Yarmouth on 22nd February 1807 with a letter explaining Astley's motivations.
