Aquatint, printed in colours and finished by hand, by James Baily (expert repair to lower margin affecting publication line). A fine view of a wicker-work stage wagon on an English side road. The stage wagon, a much slower pre-cursor of the stage coach, made only from ten to fifteen miles in a long summer's day; that is, supposing them not to have broken down by pitching over the boulders laid along the road, or stuck fast in a quagmire, when they had to wait for the arrival of the next team of horses to help to drag them out. The wagon, however, continued to be adopted as a popular mode of travelling until late in the eighteenth century, and lingered on into the nineteenth century on the less frequented routes. Agasse "studied as a boy in his native Geneva and later under David and Vernet in Paris. In 1800 he settled in England. He painted a number of very fine equestrian and greyhound portraits for Lord Rivers. He quickly found other patrons, many of them friends of Lord Rivers, and his ability to portray horses sympathetically and with anatomical accuracy was widely recognised." (Charles Lane British Racing Prints p.72). Lane Sporting Aquatints and their engravers I, p. 89; Siltzer p.41.

Mezzotint. Printed on wove paper. In good condition with the exception of some surface soiling in the margins. Crease within center of image. Mended tear on top margin not extending into image. Mended tear on right margin. Fold along bottom margin. Image size: 15 7/8 x 13 inches. A remarkable portrait by James Agasse of his patron George Pitt, the second Baron Rivers, with his two prized greyhounds. James Laurent Agasse was a noted animal and landscape painter who worked in London at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Agasse was born in Geneva and received his first artistic training there. In 1800 he settled in London at the invitation of his patron the Hon. George Pitt, the second Baron Rivers. While in London he painted a number of fine equestrian and greyhound portraits for Pitt, including this portrait, which is noted as one of his most successful paintings. His devotion to the study of anatomy and his meticulous painting style made him a huge success in England, and he was widely recognized as one of the most adept animal painters of his day. He was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy between 1801 and 1845, and this distinguished portrait is a wonderful example of his skillful painting and meticulous anatomical observation. Quoted in the Dictionary of National Biography, the writer of the panegyric states, "that it was not for bread or for grain that he laboured, but that he was urged forward by the resistless force of natural genius."

Horse Trading at Smithfield Hand-coloured etching with aquatint. Proof before letters. The scene depicts horse trading at Smithfield Market from the south side of west Smithfield - looking north to Smithfield Bar and St John Street. C. Lewis aquatinted the view but for forms sake the name of his father F.C. also appeared on the plate. Charles George Lewis (1808 80) was an English engraver. The second son of Frederick Christian Lewis (1779 1856), the painter and engraver, and brother of John Frederick Lewis (1786 1836), the bookbinder, he was born at Enfield, Middlesex, on 13 June 1808. He was instructed in drawing and engraving by his father. Lewis retired in about 1877, and died suddenly from apoplexy at his residence at Felpham, near Bognor, on 16 June 1880. He was buried in Felpham churchyard. Jacques-Laurent Agasse (1767-1849) was an animal and landscape painter from Switzerland. Born in Geneva, Agasse studied in the public art school of that city. Before he turned twenty he went to Paris to study in veterinary school to make himself fully acquainted with the anatomy of horses and other animals. He seems to have subsequently returned to Switzerland. A contemporary newspaper says that "Agasse, the celebrated animal painter, now in England, owed his fortune to an accident. About eight years ago, he being then in Switzerland, a rich Englishman asked him to paint his favourite dog which had died. The Englishman was so pleased with his work that he took the painter to England with him." The original painting is now in the Yale Center for British Art, Paul Mellon Collection.
