![[Donkey powering water wheel, Sardinia.]](jpegs/35690.jpg)
[Donkey powering water wheel, Sardinia.]
[probably lithographed by Mary Anne Theresa Whitby c.1828.]
Rare lithograph. Printed area 120 x 170mm (4¾ x 6¾")
Donkey turning an axle to power a water wheel, observed by a friar. 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).

London, Publish'd July 10th 1784 by W. Dickinson Engraver & Printseller No 158 New Bond Street
Two stipples, each sheet approx 370 x 290mm Both trimmed to platemark.
Pair of costume prints after Henry Bunbury. Both depict women from the provinces of Savoy in south-eastern France: a woman from Montmelian playing the hurdy-gurdy; and the other from the vallée de la Maurienne holding hands with two children. Although facing away from us, she also appears to be carrying a hurdy-gurdy. Bunbury (1750-1811) was an artist and caricaturist who toured France in 1767 and took the grand tour from Paris to Naples in 1769. The drawings for these prints were perhaps inspired by his travels during those years.

Contadina della Savoja.
H.W.Bunbury delin. J.Bretherton. f.

Etching, 265 x 180mm (10½ x 7"). Trimmed to platemark; light foxing; crease through top of image; glued to backing sheet.
A country woman from Savoy, stood on a mountain-top in regional costume with a child and dog. One of a series of costume prints. Etched after Henry Bunbury, an amateur printmaker who subsequently enjoyed a successful career as a designer for printsellers. 'Prints by Bunbury an his imitators were conspicuously 'polite' and appealed, like novels, 'To the Fashionable World and Polite circles'. Of good family, amply endowed with social skills, a beautiful wife and connections in high society, Bunbury's appeal was not solely aesthetic' and his admirers 'recognized his comic talent, his informed enthusiasm for literature, and his ability to draw a momentary pang with something of the sensitivity with which Sterne could write it' (Clayton).
