About the Item

James Pollard 1792-1867, was an English painter and watercolourist. Pollard was born in North London he was the son of a painter and publisher. He exhibited at the Royal Academy, Suffolk Street Galleries and the British Institution, he established himself as a painter of coaching , fox hunting, shooting, fishing and horse racing scenes, some of which he worked with Frederick Herring senior. His fame for his coaching scenes grew from his observation of coaches passing through his residential area, he lived in North London in Islington, where the coaches would stop for refreshments and carry on to pass through to Birmingham and areas to the North, this was a regular occurrence on the Highgate Road. In 1821 Pollard was commissioned by the Kings Print seller to paint a Coaching Inn signboard showing a mail coach with horses and passengers. This was displayed in a shop window which led to a great deal of commissions for many of the same and it launched his career to further the sale of affordable prints of Coaching scenes and all the other subjects, and then, as now were very popular in the 19th Century with the middle and lower classes. These prints, 2 in the lot here, are hand coloured with watercolour the prints are early to mid 19th Century, they are framed in later oak frames. The 2 prints are Quicksilver Royal Mail and The Blenheim leaving the Star Hotel Oxford. The condition of the prints are commensurate with their age and could be reframed but we have left them as they are in keeping with the untouched originality of the last 50 years and having been part of our own collection on our home wall for the last 45 years there is a reluctance to change. Note: There is one image that does not belong in this group of images it is the last image , it is the Tally Ho.

Shooting Engraving After George Stubbs, Late 18th Century Style

Located in GB

William Woollett (1735–1785) William Woollett was one of the most accomplished British engravers of the 18th century, renowned for his technical precision and his ability to translate the subtleties of painting into the language of print. Born in Maidstone, Kent, Woollett trained under John Tinney in London and quickly established himself as a master of landscape and historical engraving. He became particularly celebrated for his engravings after works by artists such as Richard Wilson, Claude Lorrain, and Benjamin West — notably The Death of General Wolfe (after West), which became one of the most famous British prints of its age. Woollett’s exceptional skill in combining line engraving with etching allowed him to reproduce painterly effects of light, texture, and atmosphere with remarkable delicacy. Elected an Associate Engraver of the Royal Academy in 1775, Woollett elevated the status of printmaking to that of a fine art. His works, characterized by technical brilliance and tonal richness, remain benchmarks of 18th-century British engraving. George Stubbs (1724–1806) George Stubbs is regarded as one of Britain’s greatest animal painters, celebrated for his scientific observation, anatomical accuracy, and artistic sensitivity. Born in Liverpool, he studied anatomy independently, dissecting horses to understand their musculature and structure — research that culminated in his celebrated publication The Anatomy of the Horse (1766). Stubbs’s paintings...
