*Cumberland (George, 1754-1848). A collection of 12 watercolour views of Bristol and its surroundings, including the artist's home in Culver Street, Bristol, the River Avon, Lawrence Weston, Leigh Woods, etc. twelve watercolours on paper, most likely previously mounted in an album, ten of which are inscribed by George Cumberland to verso, including one signed and one initialled, 15.5 x 25 cm (6.2 x 10 ins) and slightly smaller, plus two small unsigned watercolour studies of a pair of hunting dogs, and a bird of prey, probably from the same album, 13.5 x 17 cm and similar, all now contained in clear plastic sleeves in a ring binder The inscriptions are as follows: 'Copy from Mr Townley's Possession, G Cumberland', 'Flower Garden, Autumn Afternoon at Lawrence Weston near Bristol, upper little Garden of Old Jenkins's Cottage, G.C.', 'Windmill Hill and Princes Buildings from the Avon bank Ashton side, afternoon', 'Cottage Tea House - Mrs Hall, Leigh Wood gate', 'Tea House, Leigh Wood gate', 'near Mr Gutch's Villa, with a view of St George's Church near Bristol', 'Boat builders sheds Bristol', 'Boat Builders Sheds from Quay', and 'Old Piggots way from the barn at Weston with the old fashioned garden which you will remember'. The two uninscribed watercolours depict Cumberland's house in Culver Street (identified from comparisons with other Cumberland drawings held at Bristol Museum & Art Gallery) and an Entrance to a Tunnel Walk. These watercolour views, probably dating from the 1810's and early 1820's, throw new light on Cumberland's life and art following his move to Bristol in 1807. A number of other small-scale views by Cumberland, some featuring similar locations (including Mrs Sarah Hall's Tea House at Leigh Woods Gate, Culver Street and Lawrence Weston) are now in the collection of Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, where there is also a sketch by George Towneley (or Townley) of Cumberland sketching in the woods, dated July 1811. A close friend and contemporary of William Blake, George Cumberland was a writer, collector, connoisseur and amateur watercolourist, and early member of the Bristol School of artists. He purchased a large number of Blake's illuminated books (including The Book of Thel, America, Europe, The Song of Los, Visions of the Daughters of Albion and Songs of Innocence and Experience), commissioned Blake to produce engravings up to the very end of his life in 1827, and introduced him to many important contacts, including Townley, and John Linnell (through his son George Cumberland junior). In 1803 Cumberland moved to Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, before settling at 1 Culver Street, Bristol, in 1807, where he lived until his death. Blake and Cumberland maintained an interest in each other's work, particularly in the technicalities of printing. Both also disavowed the established academic style of painting of the time (each having encountered it at the Royal Academy schools). Cumberland believed that painting should be done directly from nature - his small landscape studies deliberately avoid the tradition of the picturesque, and bear a similarity in style to those of his friend John Linnell. An important group of similarly inscribed watercolours by Cumberland, formerly contained in an album, were offered at auction in 27 lots by Christie's London in their sale Fine British Watercolours and Drawings on Tuesday 11 July 1989 (lots 22-48). 'From his address at 10, Culver Street (recorded in the Bristol Directory of 1814) Cumberland also went on numerous sketching trips, recording the appearance of Bristol and its environs accompanying professional artists on their trips to likely sketching spots in Leigh Woods or at Stapleton'. Cumberland describes one such trip to Leigh Woods in a letter to his son George of June 1818: 'I rose at 5 o'clock and set off alone for a walk to avoid the great heat I crossed the ferry, wound up the happy valley reading Dante's Paradiso, and setting down at each shady tree it was then 7 o'clock and the rabbits ran about me like tame ones' (extracted from the introduction to the catalogue section). Further background information compiled by the present owner is included with the album. (14)

Though wounded, he remained at duty with great courage and untiring energy for a further 26 hours, keeping his only remaining 2 guns in action with great effect.
