Fletcher for 55 guineas Born in Covent Garden, the son of a tailor, Wheatley studied painting at Shipley’s School and was one of the early students at the Royal Academy Schools from 1769. Redgrave’s Dictionary recalls ‘In early life he made many theatrical acquaintances and was led into extravagance and debt.’ Partly to avoid his creditors and partly to escape an irate husband, he fled to Dublin in 1779, with the wife of the watercolour painter John Alexander Gresse. He spent the next four years in Ireland, where he established a successful career as a portrait painter. On his return to London towards the end of 1783, he specialised in genre paintings in oil and watercolour, many of which were engraved, such as his series ‘Cries of London’, which proved hugely popular in the late 1790s. He exhibited regularly at the Society of Artists in London and Dublin and at the Royal Academy, to which he was elected an Academician in 1791. A print after Wheatley called ‘Itinerant Potters’ was published as a stipple engraving in 1797. Arthur Gilbey was the second son of Sir Walter Gilbey, a well-known collector of angling books and pictures. His sale at Christie’s included 36 works by Francis Wheatley. £3,000 (was £4,500) 11 8 Anthony Devis (1729-1817) View at Albury with the Artist’s Sketching House on the Hill, Surrey Pen and grey ink and watercolour with original pen and ink border Exhibited: 15.1 by 22.5 cm., 6 by 8 ¾ in.

Little is known about Page’s life, but the freshness of his approach impressed me, as did his evident pleasure in drawing ruins. His relationship with his patron and probable pupil, Mary Hamilton Campbell, Lady Ruthven, an amateur archaeologist who appears to have taken him to Greece, was previously unknown, as was Page’s involvement with her brother William Campbell, with whom he travelled to Turkey. There is more work to be done on Page, but in the meantime I hope this catalogue will add a little to our understanding of the Enlightenment fascination with classical Greece. My own longstanding interest in the Ottoman period remains undimmed, and it has been a pleasure to revisit it.

  • William Blake PART I
    126 Of the fifty-three more-or-less complete copies of Blake's writings in private hands, only one has moved to a public collection: VICTORIA UNIVERSITY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO. This is Songs of Innocence and of Experience (i), a posthumous copy watermarked with fragments of J WHATMAN | 1831, lacking ten of fifty-four prints. A curious feature of copy i is that one print (pl. 23) is watercoloured (see Illus. 1A), perhaps by Catherine Blake (d. 18 October 1831 [BR (2) 546]) or Frederick Tatham who printed the posthumous copies of Blake's works in Illuminated Printing. The colouring is distinct from the colour-printed copy of the same etching in VICTORIA UNIVERSITY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO. The public appearance of Songs (i) has permitted the correction of minor errors in the account of it in Blake Books. COPIES UNTRACED America (S), Book of Thel (S), Descriptive Catalogue (V), Europe (N), First Book of Urizen (K), For Children (F), Poetical Sketches (Q), Songs of Innocence and of Experience (CC, q), "To the Public", Visions (S) are untraced. Six of these ten untraced copies in Illuminated Printing - - America (S), Book of Thel (S), Europe (N), First Book of Urizen (K), For Children (F), and Visions (S) -- have not been recorded since they were sold for the Flaxman family in 1862.

The Architecture of Joseph Michael Gandy (1771-1843) and Sir John Soane (1753-1837): An Exploration Into the Masonic and Occult Imagination of the Late Enlightenment Abstract In examining select works of English architects Joseph Michael Gandy and Sir John Soane, this dissertation is intended to bring to light several important parallels between architectural theory and freemasonry during the late Enlightenment. Both architects developed architectural theories regarding the universal origins of architecture in an attempt to establish order as well as transcend the emerging historicism of the early nineteenth century. There are strong parallels between Soane's use of architectural narrative and his discussion of architectural 'model' in relation to Gandy's understanding of 'trans-historical' architecture. The primary textual sources discussed in this thesis include Soane's Lectures on Architecture, delivered at the Royal Academy from 1809 to 1836, and Gandy's unpublished treatise entitled the Art, Philosophy, and Science of Architecture, circa 1826.
