A BOOK OF SPORTING PAINTERS: A COMPANION VOLUME OF NEW RESEARCH TO "BRITISH SPORTING ARTISTS" AND "ANGLING IN BRITISH ART".

Notes:
The "present book is a continuation of the work begun by its forerunners, British Sporting Artists and Angling in British Art. It contains a selection from eight years more of incessant revision governend by new information, aided also by cordial support from a great many people, to every one of whom I am gratefully obliged. It has been necessary to do a vast amount of costly toil in parish registers, as well as among pictures and prints, old books and early magazines; and I have learnt from parish registration that this abounding source of what may be called family news has been neglected by most writers on artistic biography." The author included an index of artists, famous and unknown, as a prompt for future research. Chapters include; three chapters on George Stubbs; Sawrey Gilpin, R.A. and his pupils Gooch and Garrard; tradition and the 18th c. painters; George Morland; James Ward, R.A.; sport, art and agriculture; the duality of Ben Marshall; the Alken family revisited, the Alken family tree; Charles Towne of Liverpool; Pollard, Chalon, Davis and Cooper; notes on the Fernley family; William Huggins of Liverpool; Victorians and photography. appended are the wills of; Sefferin Alken, George Stubbs, Samuel Alken, Senior, Sefferin John Alken, Henry Bernard Chalon, James Ward, R.A., John Fernley, Senior, John Frederick Herring, Senior, Abraham Cooper, R.A., Sir Edwin Landseer, R.A., Sir Francis Grant, P.R.A., William Huggins of Liverpool, Claude Lorraine Fernley.
