    Ebenezer Landells (1808-1860) "DILSTON HALL, ONCE

    Est: £100 - £200

    Ebenezer Landells (1808-1860) "DILSTON HALL, ONCE THE SEAT OF THE UNFORTUNATE JAMES, EARL OF DARWENTWATER (sic) TAKEN A SHORT TIME AFTER HIS EXECUTION" signed, inscribed with a poem in copperplate manuscript and the coat of arms of James Radcliffe, 3rd Earl of Derwentwater watercolour, pen and ink 40 x 50cms; 15 3/4 x 19 3/4in. NB Landells was an engraver, draughtsman and illustrator born at Newcastle. He is popularly believed to have served an apprenticeship with Thomas Bewick before leaving for London in 1829. However it is more likely that he served his apprenticeship under former Bewick trainee Isaac Nicholson. The unfortunate 3rd Earl of Derwentwater was hanged in 1716 for his part in the Jacobite Rebellion and this view of Dilston Hall is based on the drawing by Hexham artist Thomas Oliver made on the spot and published as an engraving in 1766, one year after Dilston Hall's demolition.
