Yorkshire.- Gilpin (William, 1724-1804), Attributed to. Album of 68 original oval landscape studies, including studies of Knaresborough Castle and its environs, Grimbald Crag, Fountains Abbey, Wharfedale Valley, Bolton Abbey and environs, Gordale Scar, Weathercote Cave and environs, Kirkby Lonsdale and environs, Lancaster and Lancaster Castle, Skipton Castle, Kirkstall Abbey, and Bolton Abbey, amongst others, pencil, point of the brush, watercolour and ink, each leaf numbered in black ink in upper centre, all with locations inscribed in brown ink underneath, all on uniform stock of 'J Whatman' wove paper without watermark dates, each album leaf approx. 280 x 195 mm (11 x 7 3/4 in), minor handling creases, some worm holes, minor surface dirt, contemporary tree calf, rebacked, spine gilt with red morocco label that reads 'Sketches/ 1791', corners restored, rubbed, 4to, 1791]; together with a copy of William Gilpin's 'Observations on the River Wye...', library stamps of 'Sandeman Library, Perth' throughout, contemporary tree calf, spine splitting, worn with losses, 8vo, 1772Provenance:Private collection, Surrey, UK⁂ An impressive and uniform collection of drawings by a highly competent hand exploring the 'picturesque' possibilities of landscape in the search for the ideal and sublime. The drawings show a direct influence of the work of Gilpin and his 'Observations on the River Wye', both from the structural composition of the drawings and their execution, to the pictorial documentation of a scenic tour; in the case of the present album, of Yorkshire.The remaining original part of the label on the album spine dates the works to '[17]91', which coincides with Gilpin's publication 'Remarks on Forests; and other Wood-land Scenery'. The original working manuscript for this publication of Gilpin's was sold on the art market in 2001 [see Christie's, Natural History, 4th June 2001, lot 24], and bears similarities to the present album, notably the numbering of the album leaves (albeit in a different hand), yet there appears to be some minor discrepancies between the manner of execution of the watercolours and the handwriting of the inscriptions preventing a full attribution to the artist.
