[Linlithgow Castle.] 66. [Linlithgow Palace is a fine example of a fortified palace, with a most attractive inner quadrangle, which dates from the 14th century. It was destroyed by fire in 1746, and since then has remained roofless. The Palace was for many years a favourite seat of Scottish royalty. Prince Charles was entertained here in 1745, and James IV., James V. and Mary of Guise held court, and Parliamentes and Councils sat here. The quadrangle contains a richly sculptured fountain built by James V. On one side of the building is the Great Hall, with its finely carved fireplace and a minstrel's gallery. In the Royal Apartments, were born James V. (1512) and Mary, Queen of Scots (1542). Although largely in ruins to-day, the Castle, situated as it is almost surrounded by the Loch, is an imposing and impressive building.]

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.

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.

A Lion and Tiger Fighting.
Painted & Engraved by James Ward, Painter & Engraver in Mezzotinto to His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales.
[London, Published June 1st. 1799 by James Ward & Co. No. 6 Newman Street.]
Mezzotint. 605 x 475mm. Laid on board with overmount obscuring publication line and edges, rubbing and repairs.
A Study of 'Lion and Tiger' was exhibited in the Academy in 1798, and it was after this that James Ward became anxious for public approval for his painting. A prolific artist, James Ward. R.A (1769-1859) was one of the finest animal, portrait, and landscape painters of Regency England. Brittle, pious, and argumentative, Ward worked well into the mid-19th century, creating dynamic compositions that epitomized Romanticism. He was devoted to the art of Rubens and Van Dyck, and emulated them more than any of his contemporaries.

When the dogs were introduced into the cage with Wallace, two at a time, they were immediately destroyed. Lithograph after portrait painter Bryan Edward Duppa (1804-66).
