A catalogue of pictures by British artists in the possession of Sir John Fleming Leicester, Bart. : with etchings from the whole collection, including the pictures in his gallery at Tabley house, Cheshire
A catalogue compiled by John Young and published in London in 1825 for the collection of Sir John Fleming Leicester, recording British paintings held at his Tabley House gallery in Cheshire. Its plates are etchings after the pictures, showing landscapes, pastoral scenes and figure subjects, many with a loose, sketched line that suggests how pictures were reproduced and sold to collectors. A designer might take from them the open, tonal handling of trees, water and distant hills, and the compact framing of small vignettes on a page.
