From the Book-room at the Villetta [two different versions of same view, with double portrait of Henri IV and Maria de Medicis]
M.A.T. Whitby . 1826.
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). For a London view by Whitby, see ref. 19290.
