West Meon Rectory. North Front.
M.A.T.W. [Mary Anne Theresa Whitby] 1830.
Rare lithograph on chine collé. 185 x 245mm (7¼ x 9½"), with wide margins.
The Tudor and Jacobean rectory in West Meon, Hampshire (now a private residence). At the time this print was made, it was occupied by clergyman Henry Vincent Bayley (1777-1844) who had earlier played an important role in the renovation of Lincoln Cathedral. 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).
