About the Item
Aquatint with hand coloring in oil color on smooth wove paper, 10 1/2 x 14 5/8 inches (266 × 370 mm), full margins. Moderate mat tone, scattered spots of light brown discoloration in the left side of the sheet on the recto, as well as one spot of light brown discoloration on the verso, which does not present on the recto.
[Tooley 105.4; Abbey Scenery ].
This image, which was produced entirely by means of lithography, was printed in oil color, and appears exactly as it was pulled from the press. It represents part of the first real challenge to the supremacy in England of the hand colored aquatint as a media, which is an older technique in which the hand coloring is applied after the image is pulled from the press. Printed by Charles Hullmandel.
This peaceful winterscape depicts the 13th century hospital and abbey known as Bijloke, a section of Ghent. An impression of this work appears in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Thomas Shotter Boys
Boys was born at Pentonville, London, on 2 January 1803. He was articled to the engraver George Cooke. When his apprenticeship came to an end he went to Paris where he met and came under the influence of Richard Parkes Bonington, who persuaded him to abandon engraving for painting. Some sources describe him as a pupil of Bonington, although William Callow, who later shared a studio with him in Paris, disputed this. He exhibited at the Royal Academy for the first time in 1824, and in Paris in 1827. In 1830 he went to Brussels, but returned to England on the outbreak of the revolution there. Paying another visit to Paris, he remained there until 1837, and then returned to England in order to lithograph the works of David Roberts and Clarkson Stanfield. His most important work, Picturesque Architecture in Paris, Ghent, Antwerp, Rouen, etc., a collection of color lithographs, appeared in 1839, attracting a great deal of admiration. Drawn on the stone by Boys and printed by Charles Joseph Hullmandel, it was described in a review in the Polytechnic Journal as "the first successful effort in chroma-lithography [sic] hitherto brought to perfection". King Louis-Philippe sent the artist a ring in recognition of its merits. He also published Original Views of London as it is, drawn and lithographed by himself, (London, 1843). He drew the illustrations to Blackie's History of England, and etched some plates for John Ruskin's Stones of Venice. Boys was a member of the Institute of Painters in Water Colours, and of several foreign artistic societies. He died in 1874. [source: Wikipedia]
