PAUL SANDBY, RA (1725-1809) LLANGOLLEN IN THE COUNTY OF DENBIGH FROM THE TURNPIKE ROAD ABOVE THE RIVER DEE Bears inscription as title on the backboard, watercolour and bodycolour heightened with varnish or gum arabic 45.5 x 60.5cm. Provenance: W. Angerstein; Mrs Norman (c.1843, label verso); D. M. Eccles MP; London, with P. & D. Colnaghi & Co. Ltd (label verso) Exhibited: London, The Arts Council of Great Britain, no date, no.36, from the Bradfer-Lawrence Collection (label verso) This may date to the late 1770's: between 1775 and 1777, Sandby published a series of aquatint views in Wales which were grounded in his solid understanding of topography from his diligent training with the Board of Ordnance. Without any infusion of sentimentality or the lyrical Classicism of artists like Richard Wilson, Sandby's views have the feel of immediate accuracy and truth that would have caught his eye as he worked. A 1776 print exists with the title of this watercolour but it differs in too many respects to be derived directly from it. ++ Some scattered retouching, principally within the sky, over flaked losses

A fine 1:4 scale model of a 5 1/2 inch Howitzer, the carriage and limber built as a template at the Bombay Artillery's Gun Carriage Manufactory, Colaba Island, in 1822; brass ordnance 11 inches including cascobel, brass mounted carriage and limber with iron rimmed spoked wheels, the trail bearing brass plaque inscribed 'Captain Thew/ Agent/ 1822 Bombay', further plaque inscribed 'Carriage Howitzer/ brass with Limber/ Heavy 5 1/2 Inch/ Scale 3 inch to a foot', brass number plate 'No 118', ammunition box with partitioned interior, length when assembled approximately 5.5 feet. The British East India Company maintained factories for the local production of the materials of war. In the case of the Bombay Presidency this included a gun carriage manufactory on Old Woman's Island (later Colaba). Captain Robert Thew (a soldier with a distinguished career including action in the battle of Kirkee during the Third Anglo Maratha War) was the company's agent for gun carriages from 1821 to 1827. Like other men in his role he built models of this sort to provide a template to aid India craftsmen in building full sized gun carriages. The origin of the ordnance itself is uncertain, since the carriage factory was not also a foundry, but it's form complies closely to that of contemporary examples of the full sized version, for example: that which may be seen at the Royal Armouries collection, Fort Nelson, Portsmouth.
