| 3 | No image URL. | NOTES: This lithograph is from the estate of Francis Patrick Garvan (1875-1937). Most of whose art and silver collection went to Yale University and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. NOTES: This is one of a set of eight prints produced by James Gray and Joshua Gleadah and J. Ryall. They were published by Willett & Blandford, London, in 1828 and dedicated to Sir Peregrine Maitland, Lieutenant Governor, and the Gentlemen of Upper Canada. The image shows Quebec, looking across the St. Lawrence River from Point Levi (Lévis, Québec). The paddle steamer Waterloo (1826) appears at the center left. NOTES: F. St. George Spendlove writes on page 41 of 'The Face of Early Canada': In the year 1828 seven [An eight print was added after a 2015 sale at Christies] coloured aquatints of Canada from drawings by James Gray were engraved by Joshua Gleadah and J. Ryall. They were published by Willett & Blandford, London, and dedicated to Sir Peregrine Maitland, Lieutenant Governor, and the Gentlemen of Upper Canada. The set is of extreme rarity, and the present writer has heard of only two other sets in addition to the beautiful proof-before-letters set in the Sigmund Samuel Collection. This is an extremely fine set of prints, distinguished both for clearness of outline and for richness of colour; in the latter respect these prints are probrobably in a class by themselves in the Canadian field. The colouring was done by water-colour, and has that richness of tone that one associates with oil paintings or the prints of George Baxter. The treatment of foliage is minute and exact, and the incidental flowers are given most unusual attention, being almost botanical in their careful drawing, although quite unknown in Canada. The prints are remarkable for overcast sky effects. In spite of the fact that one print was aquatinted by J. Ryall (of whom nothing seems to be known) and the others by Joshua Gleadah, a well-known engraver of the time, there is a uniformity of treatment throughout. The prints are noteworthy for the complete absence of the stiffness one would be likely to find in line-engravings of the period, and are full of motion; boats are moving rapidly through the water, birds are flying, and flags blown by the wind. Human figures do not show as much motion as a rule but are well handled...Joshua Gleadan the engraver was active in London between 1813 and 1836. The titles of the eight views are: 1) General View of the Falls of Niagara from the British Shore; 2) A View of Brockville, Upper Canada, from Umbrella Island; 3) Montreal from St Helen’s Island; 4) York from Gibralter Point; 5) Kingston from Fort Henery; 6) Quebec, from Point Levi; 7) Horse Shoe Fall of the Falls of Niagara from the Upper Bank of the British Shore; and 8) Falls of Montmorenci from the east bank. | CL7917 | |||||||

| 6 | No image URL. | SHORT DESCRIPTION: Black and white engraving showing a plan of the Royal Dockyard at Chatham. Drawn by Thomas Milton with the shipping engraved by John Clevely the Elder and the remainder by Pierre Charles Canot. Published by Thomas Milton. At the top is a view of shipping on the River Medway with the buildings of the dockyard in the background. At the bottom is a plan of the dockyard and part of Chatham Harbor (River Medway). There are twenty-five lettered references to the plan at the left edge in the center and twenty-five letter references to the elevation at the right edge in the center. A decorative border around the two images contains vignettes showing dockyard practices and naval maneuvers. Starting at the top center and working to the right around the edge they include 1) the first rate warship Royal Sovereign undergoing rigging and final construction, 2) a warship in a drydock with the text "sheathing in the dock", 3) a warship "giving chace", 4) a warship "foundering" (sinking), 5) a warship "wreck'd on the sands", 6) a warship in the process of losing its rigging with the text "Masts going by the Board", 7) a warship "jamb'd in between rocks", 8) a warship sailing with the text "Laying too under Ballanc'd Mizen", 9) a warship with men in the rigging with the text "boot topping". NOTES: The Yale Center for British Art notes: One of a series of views of the six Royal Dockyards, which were by the mid-eighteenth century the world's largest industrial complex and the state's biggest investment. These engravings present the dockyards as orderly, efficient, and rational; each makes reference to the specific functions of the dockyard represented, which depended in part on location. Chatham, on the Medway, was used as a strategic naval base during the Anglo-Dutch Wars of the seventeenth century. Sheerness, at the mouth of the Medway, was then built to take some of the pressure off Chatham, so that ships needing minor repairs did not have to travel the length of the river. Thereafter fleets moored at Chatham during the winter or while on reserve, and the dockyard became employed in repairs more than shipbuilding. Accordingly, the vignettes bordering this print display a combination of dockyard practice (“Sheathing in the dock”), maneuvers (“Laying to under balanc’d mizzen”), and disasters (“Jamb’d in between rocks,” “Wreck’d on the sands”). | CL10979 | |||||||
