ORIGINAL DRAWINGS BY THOMAS ROWLANDSON. (COLLECTION OF THOMAS CAPRON, ESQ., ARUNDEL HOUSE, RICHMOND.)
Mr. Capron's selection contains numerous subjects from the
collections of Lord Farnham and the late W. T. Ashley, Esq. Besides
being the owner of a very fine selection of the best prints after
Rowlandson, many of considerable size, value, and importance,
(for the loan of several choice examples, which are both rare
and difficult to obtain, the writer begs to record his grateful
acknowledgments to the fortunate possessor;) Mr. Capron has also
collected quite a gallery of original drawings; among the number
are some truly capital examples. The titles of a selection from the
numerous subjects are as follow. (See also the collection of the late

COLLECTION OF JOHN COLE STOGDON, M.A., ESQ., 18 CLIFFORD'S INN.
This gentleman, amongst a rich gathering of drawings, caricatures, and social satires, has secured numerous good examples of prints executed by Rowlandson, including the rare series of the 'Stages of Man's Schooling' (1802). We have to instance a spirited drawing by the caricaturist, which is in the possession of Mr. Stogdon: 'Forbidden Fruit.'

The drawings mentioned above, like most of the caricaturist's fluent renderings of subjects after the Old Masters, are far removed from mere copies or servile imitations, being, in actual fact, free adaptations of the works in question, strongly characterised with the individualities of Rowlandson's style.
Colonel Weston, in addition to this unique series, possesses a collection of original drawings by the artist, which includes, among numerous interesting examples of varying importance, one of Rowlandson's most graceful and finished drawings, worked out with a taste and delicacy altogether remarkable. The subject is a domestic scene, introducing two charming figures (likenesses in all probability) executed after the style of the portrait of Morland (mentioned in the first part of this work, now in the Print Room, British Museum, see p. 412), and evidently executed at the same period.

LIST OF ORIGINAL DRAWINGS BY THOMAS ROWLANDSON IN THE COLLECTION OF WILLIAM BATES, ESQ., B.A., M.R.C.S, &c., BIRMINGHAM.[33]
'Cornish Peasantry.' 10-1/4 × 6-1/2. Five peasants, admirably grouped,
seated on a sort of timber-cart, drawn by two oxen. Woody background.
Signed 'Rowlandson.'
Acis and Galatea. 8-1/2 × 6.
Apollo and Daphne. 8-1/2 × 6. Companion to the above. A
vigorously-drawn recollection of the antique.
The Cottage Door. 11-1/2 × 8-1/2. A group of rustics seated at the
door of a cottage. On the right hand a man with a donkey laden with
vegetables. In the manner of Morland.
'The Road to Ruin.' 13-1/2 × 9-1/2. The young squire is seated at a
round table, with his mistress on his knee. Opposite to him is a
'led-captain,' dealing out cards and inciting the squire to bet. In
the centre, standing at the table, is a plethoric chaplain, wholly
intent upon the manufacture of a bowl of punch, the ingredients for
which he is pouring simultaneously from two bottles into the bowl.
The complete absorption of each of these personages in his own
special object is admirably depicted.
Brentford Market Place. 17-1/2 × 12. An admirable drawing, exhibiting
hundreds of market-people disposed in groups, with the Town House in
the central background and the 'Three Kings' inn on the right hand.
The grouping is excellent, the scene full of animation and bustle,
the sense of space and general keeping perfect, and the whole equal
in power and effect to the works of the Dutch painters.
Shepherd and Sheep. 17-1/4 × 4-1/2. A standing figure in the middle of
a group of five sheep; something in the manner of Gainsborough.
The Funeral. 7 × 4-1/2. The parson advances, reading the burial
service. Next comes the clerk, carrying a child's coffin, and
followed by a group of female mourners, wringing their hands, holding
handkerchiefs to their eyes, and some carrying umbrellas. To the
right a female gravedigger, holding a spade in one hand and tolling
the bell with the other. To illustrate the old song of 'The Vicar and
Moses':--
When come to the grave the clerk humm'd a stave,
Whilst the surplice was wrapped round the priest;
When so droll was the figure of Moses and Vicar,
That the parish still laugh at the jest.
Singing tol de rol, &c.
An Oriental Scene. 8-1/2 × 5-1/2. In the foreground a gibbet, from
which is hanging in chains the headless body of a woman. By the side
an impaling-stake and wheel. Two men in foreign garb are looking on.
In the distance a city, with towers and minarets.
'The Industrious Wife and Idle Husband.' 5-1/2 × 4. The wife is busily
engaged at the washtub; a cradle, with twins asleep, at her back;
while the husband, with pipe, glass, and jug, sits over the fire with
a boon companion. Full of Hogarthian humour.
Burglars Alarmed. 11 × 9-1/2. A drawing of extraordinary vigour. A
brutal-looking ruffian, in a frieze coat, holding a bloody knife in
one hand and enjoining attention with the other, is striding over the
corpses of two women, both with their throats cut. A second ruffian,
with alarm depicted on his countenance, holds a candle in his right
hand and grasps a bloodstained coal-hammer in his left. In the
background a fate is seen peeping through a window. A piece that can
hardly be looked at without a subsequent attack of nightmare.
Landscape. Lake scene, hilly background. 9 × 7. Very broad in
treatment.
Commodore Trunnion and Lieut. Hatchway on their way to the Wedding.
14-1/2 × 8. (See Smollett's 'Peregrine Pickle,' vol. i. chap. 8.)
Jolly Companions. 11 × 8. A group of five, heads and shoulders. A man
is apparently singing from a ballad-sheet. A woman at his right hand
is blowing with the bellows, and the other faces are on the broad
grin.
The Pipe Dance. 4-1/2 × 3. Two Punch-and-Judy-like figures dancing,
and holding a pipe over head. Small, but very spirited.
The Forge. 9-1/2 × 6-1/2. A group of four horses outside a forge. The
blacksmith holds up the hoof of one; the farmer stands by, and a
woman advances holding a cup of ale. Signed 'Rowlandson, 1791.' As
fine as Morland.
Maternal Solicitude. 6-1/2 × 4-3/4. A mother bends over her child on a
couch, both entirely nude.
Nymph and Cupid. 7-1/4 × 5-1/2. A naked nymph recumbent; a winged
cupid, bow in hand, descends towards her.
Henpecked Husbands. 10 × 6-1/4. A woman has hold of the greatly
elongated nose of her husband in one hand, and belabours him with a
whip in the other. On the left a group of women toss a husband in
a blanket, and on the right a wife is thrashing her husband on the
ground, whom she also holds by the nose.
Death in the Pot. 6 × 3-1/2. A plethoric figure drinks from a bowl,
while a skeleton figure is about to strike him from above.
Zion Chapel. 13-1/2 × 8-1/4. A congregation of over fifty persons,
who have just emerged from the portal of 'Zion Chaple' (_sic_),
are passing slowly along. The door is blocked up by the departing
worshippers; a fish-woman standing by indulges in some ribald
observations, and a pious old lady holds up her hands in horror.
The Table d'Hôte. 13-3/4 × 9. A spirited and characteristic drawing,
exhibiting a numerous company of both sexes seated at a dinner-table.
French waiters, pig-tailed and nightcapped, are drawing corks,
filling glasses, and flying to and fro with dishes, &c. One of the
guests is teaching a dog to beg; a woman and girl, with tambourine
and triangle, appear on the left to amuse the company.
Interior of a Prison. 9-1/2 × 6. From the collection of the celebrated
Henry Angelo, the professor of fencing, who in his 'Reminiscences'
(vol. ii. p. 324) gives an account of its production. Rowlandson,
it appears, had been robbed one night, and went next day in search
of the thief. 'We first repaired,' says the reminiscent, 'to St.
Giles's, Dyott Street, and Seven Dials. In one of the night-houses
four ill-looking fellows, _des coupes-jarret_, so attracted our
attention that, whilst we sat over our noggins of spirits, as he
(Rowlandson) always carried his sketch-book with him, he made an
excellent caricature group of them for me, introducing a prison in
the background.... He afterwards finished it for me in his best
style, superior to the greater part of his works. This is now (1830)
about forty years ago. The coloured drawing was once included in
my collection.' Here we have the four thieves sitting and lying in
various positions. Prisoners in another group are playing cards.
Another ruffian is stretched at full length asleep in the foreground.
The drawing, grouping, and colouring are alike admirable, and would
have done honour to Salvator Rosa.
'The Miser Lying in State: the Prodigal Heir-Apparent.' 14 × 9-1/2.
The 'heir-apparent,' with his profligate companions, male and female,
is seated at a table, on which we see a punchbowl, &c. A coffin
occupies an elevated position in the background, and from it appears
to be struggling to emerge the supposed defunct miser, while an
allegorical figure above seems to be nailing down the lid.
The Fire. 9-1/2 × 6. On the right a house on fire, flames issuing from
the windows, the doorway crowded with watermen, and persons carrying
out bedding and other effects. On the left firemen manipulating
the hose and directing the stream against the flaming windows,
in ridiculously suggestive attitudes. The central figure is an
enormously fat woman, whose night-dress, drawn up to support a mass
of crockery, displays her _Rubensesque_ and redundant charms to the
watermen, who turn their grinning faces to gaze upon the spectacle.
'Leaving the Premises without Consulting the Landlord.' 11 × 8-1/2.
A cart, seen at the back, heaped up with furniture, occupies the
centre. A woman on the left laden with gridirons, warming-pans, &c.
On the right a girl, graceful as one of Stothard's female figures,
places in the cart a birdcage. In the foreground miscellaneous
articles of minor furniture, and two children playing with the
house-cat.
Outside the Court-House. 14-1/2 × 10-1/2. The scene is apparently the
Magistrate's Court and the Town Hall in some county town. The ground
in front is crowded with various individuals waiting for the cases
in which they are interested to be called on. We see the farmer, the
parson, a jockey, a huntsman, a footman, a butcher, a soldier, an
actor, and many others. The beadle is seated on a step, making love
to an old woman, who holds a tankard in her hand. Dogs are scattered
about, attendant on their masters.
Interior of Eating-House. 7-1/4 × 5. A dining-table, at which are
seated some seventeen people, male and female. One of the guests, a
stout, portly man, has left the table, and is seizing his hat, as if
offended. A neighbour attempts to restrain him, while the waiters
appear amused.
Bridewell. 9 × 6. A procession of fifteen female prisoners are
escorted through the courtyard of Bridewell from one department
of the prison to another, in pairs, in charge of turnkeys, female
warders looking on. Penitence, grief, and hardened impudence are
admirably depicted on the several faces.
Returning from a Voyage. 9-1/2 × 6. A sea beach, with a schooner and
sloops at anchor. A boat has just landed a group of passengers, among
whom is a girl with a cockatoo on her wrist.
Pickaback. 4-1/2 × 3-1/2. A man, carrying a woman on his back, is
fording a brook.
Picture Exhibition. 9 × 5-1/2. Connoisseurs at an exhibition of
pictures.
Gaming House. 9 × 5-1/2. A drawing similar to that which serves as
frontispiece to the 'Beauties of Tom Brown.'
Nymphs Bathing. 8-1/4 × 5-1/4. Eight female figures, entirely nude,
sporting in a stream, or seated on its banks. Leafy background.
Nymphs Attiring. 8-1/4 × 5-1/4. Five female figures, entirely nude,
seated on the banks of a stream, dressing their hair.
The Village Politicians. 15 × 9-3/4. Dated 1821.
