1850Best.-Nr. 257631England 1850. Pen and ink watercolor and wash drawings mounted; one signed by Corbould 3 signed by Uwins. Double-matted and handsomely bound on hinges in full brown morocco. A few drawings show minor foxing but overall beautifully preserved. Pen and ink watercolor and wash drawings mounted; one signed by Corbould 3 signed by Uwins. The English illustrator HENRY CORBOULD 1787-1844 studied at the Royal Academy with among others Fuseli and he quickly developed a taste for neo-classical historical painting. He soon concentrated "his efforts . on perfecting a delicate rather feminine neo-classical style which suited the purposes of refined Regency book illustration. During the remainder of his career he was 'extensively employed by publishers to make drawings for engravings and the number of his designs which adorn many books amount to several hundreds' J. Britton The autobiography of . 2.172. This is also reflected in those works he continued to send to the Royal Academy exhibition which were predominantly compositions of a sentimental and literary genre commissioned to illustrate the novels of Walter Scott or the poetry of Byron and Crabbe. As was the case with J. F. Dove's edition of Fanny Burney's Cecilia or Memoirs of an Heiress 1825 many of Corbould's illustrations were turned into steel-engravings by his cousin Charles Heath; in other instances they were reproduced in fashionable media such as lithography and stipple engraving ." ODNB. The 20 small Corbould drawings in this album one of which is signed are typical of his book work: his portrait of William Shenstone possibly for Samuel Johnson's LIVES OF THE POETS; the design for the engraved title-page of "THE GRACES OR LITERARY SOUVENIR .London Printed for Hurst and Robinson 1824"; an illustration for Hugh Kelly's MEMOIRS OF A MAGDALEN "Sir Robt Harold coldly endeavouring to console Miss Mildmay Vol. 1 p. 48"; and numerous illustrations for various adventures and romances as yet to be identified. Corbould's contemporary THOMAS UWINS 1782-1857 also was able to enter the Royal Academy Schools where he exhibited miniature portraits and contributed illustrations to Rudolf Ackermann's Westminster Abbey 1812 Oxford University 1814 Cambridge University 1815 and Public Schools 1816. Eventually Uwins evolved to larger forms and while living for several years in Rome Venice and Naples began to paint in larger forms in oil. His illustration work includes Shakespeare Virgil Horace King Arthur and the Round Table Robinson Crusoe etc. The 14 exquisite drawings displayed here amply display his skill and mastery of the small watercolor illustration. unknown

Best.-Nr. 11282London: Vanity Fair. 1879. No binding. Very Good. THE FIRST DOUBLE PAGE LITHOGRAPH PUBLISHED IN VANITY FAIR. 340 x 460 mm. double page lithograph in very good condition. 'Vanity Fair' was an English magazine published weekly in London between 1868 and 1914 and considered to be the literary and social voice of Victorian and Edwardian Britain. The magazine's founder Thomas Gibson Bowles 1841-1922 was brought up in a bohemian household and after a short period in the civil service became a journalist. In 1868 he began his own society journal and called it 'Vanity Fair'. On 30 January 1869 he introduced the first full-paged coloured caricature of Benjamin Disraeli and sales never looked back. Each was accompanied by a witty and sometimes biting biographical sketch. In the words of Matthews and Mellini it was 'the most successful Society magazine in the history of English journalism'. Famous artists who contributed are Sir Leslie Ward 1851-1922 who studied at Eton and then the Royal Academy and published under the pen name Spy for who Vanity Fair will remain synonymous. He also contributed to the 'World Magazine' 1910-11. Others include Carlo Pellegrini 1839-89 Max Beerbohm 1872-1956 James Tissot 1836-1902 and the American Thomas Nast 1840-1902. This is the first double-page image published in Vanity Fair on 1 July 1879. Less than 20 were printed in the entire history of the magazine. This is arguably the rarest. The artist was Alfred Chantrey Corbould 1852-1920 who was born into a family of artists. His father was Alfred Hitchens Corbould 1821-74 himself the son of Henry Corbould 1787-1844. Brought up in Kensington he studied art under his uncle Charles Samuel Keene 1823-91 an illustrator for 'Punch' magazine. He exhibited his work at the Royal Academy from 1879 and specialised in sport caricature an ideal subject for the magazine 'Vanity Fair'. 'The Row in Season' refers to the fashion of English society enjoying Rotton Row in London's Hyde Park. In the centre of the are the Prince and Princess of Wales on horseback. The route was originally designed as a safe passage for King William III to travel safely between Kensington Palace to St. James's Palace and called the Route du Roi. Over time it was corrupted to Rotton Row. Matthews & Mellini 1982; Savory 1979 p. 178. Vanity Fair. 1879 unknown
