DESCRIPTION OF PRINT: A country park extending over 200 Ha (494 acres) 2 miles (3 km) southwest of Hamilton in South Lanarkshire, Chatelherault was formerly part of the estate of the Duke of Hamilton surrounding Hamilton Palace. The palace was demolished but Chatelherault Hunting Lodge, built for the 5th Duke of Hamilton, and an Iron Age fort survive. Also within the park are a deep gorge of the Avon Water overlooked by 13th Century Cadzow Castle, oak trees dating from the 15th Century and a rare breed of white cattle bred by the Dukes of Hamilton and perhaps descended from the ancient wild cattle of Scotland. The park which is visited by over 400,00 people each year, was opened in 1987 by the Duke of Gloucester.

 

BIOGRAPHY OF ARTIST AND HISTORY OF THIS PRINT: William Henry Bartlett, (born in London, 26 March 1809; died at sea off Malta, 13 Sept 1854) was an English draughtsman, active also in the Near East, Continental Europe and North America. He was a prolific artist and an intrepid traveler. His work became widely known through numerous engravings after his drawings published in his own and other writers' topographical books. His primary concern was to extract the picturesque aspects of a place and by means of established pictorial conventions to render 'lively impressions of actual sights', as he wrote in the preface to The Nile Boat (London, 1849). Bartlett's several views of Scotland bear the date of 1837, and as Nathaniel Parker Willis stated, "Bartlett could select his point of view so as to bring prominently into his sketch the castle or the cathedral, which history or antiquity had allowed". Most views contain some ruin or element of the past including many scenes of churches, abbeys, cathedrals and castles.. The interest in these engravings today is as much for the quality of the rendering and presentation of the architecture of the period as it is for the representation of the landscape.

Please note: the terms used in our auctions for engraving, etching, heliogravure, lithograph, photogravure etc. are ALL prints on paper, and NOT blocks of steel or wood. "ENGRAVINGS" is the term commonly used for these paper prints that were created from a master plate, and were the most common method in the 1700s and 1800s for illustrating old books. These paper prints or "engravings" were inserted into the book with a tissue guard or onion skin frontis to protect them from transferring the image to the opposite page. These prints were usually on much thicker quality woven rag stock paper, although many were also printed and issued as loose stand alone lithographs. So this auction is for an antique paper print(s), probably from an old book, of very high quality and usually on very thick rag stock paper.
