M.A.T.W. [Mary Anne Theresa Whitby] Litho. Newlands 1830.
Rare lithograph. Printed area 110 x 180mm (4¼ x 7"), with wide margins. Foxing, mostly to edges.
The ancient church at Hordle, Hampshire around the time the old church was demolished in 1830. As the enclosure of previously common ground led to the town's population moving further north, the old church was demolished and a new one built closer to the new population centre 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).

Riders rounding up some of the New Forest ponies. Lucy Kemp-Welch (1869-1958) exhibited the original painting (approximately 5ft x 10ft) at the Royal Academy in 1897, when she was only 26 years old. It caused a sensation and was promptly sold for £525 to the trustees of the Chantrey Bequest, a fund set up to buy British art to create a national collection. Despite being set up in 1875 this was only the third artwork by a woman bought by them. The painting was then transferred to the Tate Gallery when it opened that year, but was never displayed: it is said her support for the suffragette movement meant her work was blacklisted by the patriarchal establishment.

It was while Henry V was at the castle making preparations for a campaign in France that a conspiracy to overthrow him was uncovered. During the 18th century when this print was made, it was used as a prison to incarcerate prisoners during conflicts including the Spanish War of Succession and the Napoleonic Wars. The castle is now managed by English Heritage.
