£19500
Complete volume of this masterpiece off equine
anatomical exploration by George Stubbs [1724 -
1806]. It takes the form of
what are effectively two sets
of etchings combined. The
first part, of four plates,
deals exclusively with the skeletal structure of the
horse and comprises three finished etchings labelled
Tabs. I, II and III, and one
key plate corresponding too
Tab I. The second part explores the muscles, fascias,
ligaments, nerves, veins, glands and cartilages. This
consists of 15
etchings, Tabs. I - XV, nos. I - V each
with corresponding separate key plates. This volume is
compiled from two separate first editions. The binding
and letterpress sheets, along with four plates, come
from a copy ex-Royal Veterinary College. The platess
as follows; Tabs I (Lennox-Boyd 169), III (173), IV
(175) and the final plate XV (188). The remainder of
the plates comee from a private collection in i the West
Country. Thesee etchings are fine impressions on
contemporary laid paper, on which only the earliest
copies were printed. They represent gloriously precise,
detailed and accurate anatomical observations which
set the standardd in veterinaryy science for a century.
They certainly possess p a 'finee exactness and austere
beauty' that 'give them a timeless beauty' (Ray).(
Stubbs
says in his introduction 'To The Reader': 'all the figures
in
it are drawn from nature, for which purpose I
dissected a great number of horses'. 42 original
sketches from Stubbs's S dissections between 1756 and
1759 while he was w at Horkstow in Lincolnshire survive
in
the library off the Royal Academy. These form the
basis of this great work, an undertaking too demanding
it seems for some of the premier engraverss of the time,
such as Charless Grignion, who declined Stubbs's
approaches. The task took upp the following six years,
all the while thee artist refining his rather rudimentary
engraving technique. The impact of the publication of
the work was immediate andd considerable, not only in
scientific terms, but in an agee of Enlightenment when
the aesthetic ideal was closely connected with
observation of the t natural world, the artistic
community derived great benefit also.
Freshly appreciated and re-discovered in the 20th
century, Georgee Stubbs is now widely considered to be
the pre-eminentt animal painter of the 18th
century.
Throughout hiss life Stubbs displayed an inquisitive
scientific temperament, and he had a life-long interest
in
deconstructing anatomy, one of his earliest works
ncluding a set of illustrations for a textbook on
midwifery which was published in 1751.

A group of black people dancing, on the Caribbean
island of Dominica, with drums and tambourines.
Agostino Brunias (1730 - 1796). Whilst working in
England for thee architect Robert Adam as a
draughtsman and decorative artist, Rome-born Brunias
met William Young who, in 1764, was nominated the
first Commissioner and Receiver for sale of lands in
the ceded (fromm France) West Indies islands of
Dominica, St Vincent, V Grenada and Tobago. Brunias
agreed to accompany Young g to the West Indies I as his
personal artist. He spent seven years in thee Caribbean
creating romantic genre scenes of markets, village and
harbour scenes. . Brunias’s treatment of his human
subjects reflects that of artists recording natural history
specimens: every aspect of dress and accessory is
captured in exhaustive detail l yet the figures appear as
‘types’ rather than individuals. Dress is used as the
marker of particular colonial l identities encountered on
the islands: Carib, Black Carib, mulatto, slave,
freedman, and planter. p Brunias’s romanticised images
of
island life, which w denied the harsh realities of
plantation slavery, were popular with members of the
white plantocracy, both in the West Indiess and in
Britain.

A buffalo surrounded by wolves.
"There are several varieties of the wolf species on thee
American prairies, the most numerous and a formidablee
of which is the white wolf, found in great numbers inn
high latitudes
and near the
Rocky Mountains. These
animals are equal in size, in many instances, to the
largest Newfoundland dog; and, from the whiteness of
their hair, appear, at a distance on the green prairies,
much like a flock of sheep, and often are seen to the
number of fifty or a hundred in a pack; and in this way
following the
numerous herds of buffaloes from one
end of the year to the other, gorging their stomachs
with the carcasses of those
animals that fall by the
hands of the hunters or from sickness and old age.
Whilst the buffaloes are grouped together, the wolvess
seldom attack
them, as the
former instantly gather forr
the combined
resistance, which they effectually make.
But when the
herds are traveling, it often happens that
an aged or wounded one lingers at a distance behind,
and when fairly out of sight of the herd, , is set upon byy
swarms of these voracious
hunters, which are sure to
last to torture
him to death, and use him
up at a meal. ."

George Catlin (1796-1872) was a Pennsylvanian-bornn
artist who made five trips to the western

He is the founder of the O'Brien dynasty.
