James Bulwer (1794-1879), 'an amateur landscape painter of high quality', was a pupil and friend of John Sell Cotman. Bulwer addresses a foreword to George Stoddart Esq. of Madeira (in French): 'I send you a series of drawings intended to represent some of the more remarkable spots in your beautiful island ... For the drawings themselves, the only merit I can claim is that of faithful representation. In the selection of some of the subjects, I have been guided by the comparative celebrity of the place, rather than by a consideration of its purely picturesque attraction. But the collection will, I hope, be found to include all the scenes most interesting under either point of view'. This work was issued in two forms: 'on India Paper' at 4 guineas, or 'on Plain or Tinted Paper' at 3 guineas. (1)
