Hugh Cecil Lowther, 5th Earl of Lonsdale [1857 - 1944], sportsman. Joseph Simpson [1879 - 1939], painter and etcher of portraits and sporting subjects. He was born in Carlisle and studied art at Glasgow School of Art. He became a close friend of D.Y. Cameron and was elected RBA in 1909. Simpson designed covers for Edinburgh publishers and was a prolific designer of bookplates. In 1918 he became an official war artist for the RAF and was stationed in France. Simpson was already forty-five when he took up etching in 1925, at the height of the boom period for the medium. His first twenty or so plates were etched with a gramophone needle and printed by the artist himself on the small press lent to him by a local Carlisle printing firm. His first exhibition of etchings took place in Glasgow at Wishart Brown in March 1926. His friend Frank Brangwyn wrote the catalogue introduction. A second highly successful show was staged in November 1926 by Alex, Reid and Lefevre in London. Simpson exhibited in Munich, Venice, Florence & Stockholm.

The Lucky Mistake Or the Buck and Blood Flourishing Macaroni _ playing a Solo on the Jelly Glasses. 10.
[Drawn by William Austin.]
Pubd as ye Act Directs May 7th 1773.
Etching, J. Whatman watermark. 275 x 375mm (10¾ x 14¾"), with large margins.
A military officer, his hair is in a large macaroni club, unconcernedly rides a heavy cavalry horse past a man whom he has knocked down, breaking his wooden leg and several glasses. Upper right is an illustration of the club with an exaggerated description. From a set of twelve prints by William Austin (1721/33-1820), drawing-master and engraver. Austin taught caricature to amateurs and this series, which mocked several well-known personages (as did its dedicatee, the actor Samuel Foote) contains some of the most lively English caricatures of the period between Hogarth and the late Georgian satire of Gillray and Rowlandson.
