Myles Birket Foster [1825-1899]- 'The Elderberry Gatherers:'- signed with monogram lower left, titled on gallery label on reverse pencil and watercolour with bodycolour on paper 33.5 x 69.5 * Provenance. With Rayner MacConnal Gallery With W.H. Patterson. * Biography. Myles Birket Foster was a successful and extremely popular 19th Century watercolourist, illustrator and engraver. Born in North Shields, his family moved to London in 1830. His father recognised his son's artistic talent and apprenticed him to the wood engraver Ebenezer Landells, where he worked on illustrations for Punch magazine and the Illustrated London News. Birket Foster became a book illustrator and taught himself to paint in watercolour. He became an instant success; elected a member of the Old Watercolour Society in 1860 and went on to exhibit some 400 works at the Royal Academy over two decades. He travelled widely at this time, painting in Scotland, the Rhine Valley, the Swiss Lakes, and Italy, especially Venice. It was after moving to Witley in Surrey that he started to produce the work for which he is best known; sentimentalised views of the contemporary English countryside. Although criticised by some for their idealised view of country life, this body of work proved very popular and sold for three figure sums in their time. His house in Whitley was partly decorated by the Pre-Raphaelites and became a centre for many artists of the day. He lived there until 1893 when he moved to Weybridge. Largely because of his contemporary success, his work was much copied and even faked within his life time; his finished watercolours have a stipple technique, especially on flesh, and his drawings are minutely accurate. He generally worked on a small scale, but is one of very few watercolourists to make a complete success of large compositions. .

[2] *Notes. Sake Dean Mahomed [1759-1851] was born in India and served in the army of the British East India Company as a trainee surgeon. He emigrated to Ireland in 1786 where he met and married Jane Daly. While in Cork he wrote and published his book titled The Travels of Dean Mahomed which was the first book published by a native Indian in the English language. He left Ireland and moved to London where he opened the first Indian restaurant in England, The Hindoostane Coffee House, located at Portland Square, which is now commemorated by a wall plaque. In 1814 Sake Dean Mahomed and his wife Jane moved to Brighton and opened the first shampooing vapour masseur bath in England, now the site of The Queens Hotel. He described the treatment in a local paper as 'The Indian Medicated Vapour Bath, a cure to many diseases and giving full relief when everything fails; particularly rheumatic and paralytic, gout, stiff joints, old sprains, lame less, aches and pains in the joints'. So successful was his treatment that hospitals referred patients to him and both kings George IV and William IV appointed him as their shampooing surgeon in Brighton. Sake Dean Mahamed and his wife Jane are buried at St Nicholas Church, Brighton. *Provenance. This and the following two lots by direct family descent.
