After George Stubbs ARA (British, 1724-1806),
'Shooting' plates I and IV (of four),
Engravings on paper by William Woollett (1735-1785), later hand coloured, published by Thomas Bradford London 1769 and 1771,
Plate I 44cm x 54.5cm, plate IV 45cm x 55cm,
With 'Coursing' plates 1 and 2 after Richard Barrett Davis (British, 1782-1854), published by Thomas McLean, London 1836, probably taken from an edition of THE SPORTING REPOSITORY, each 42cm x 49.5cm; and a further hand coloured engraving on paper depicting red grouse, 42cm x 52cm,
All with Christie's stencils verso,
All in similar glazed frames (5)
More Information
All pieces show some age-related darkening to the paper and the odd small fox mark, but no significant staining or foxing. The colours appear reasonably bright and strong, but are likely to have faded somewhat over time. The frames all appear to be structurally sound, but show the odd small dent and scuff, and evidence of overpainting to the gilt highlights.
