Forty of these large drawings were exhibited at Dublin's old Parliament House, Dublin, in January 1802. According to Freeman's Journal, the paintings were 'principally taken in the County of Wicklow, including the Gold, Copper and Lead Mines' with the 'most interesting views taken from the new military roads and close scenes of the Dargle'. In the Dublin Castle State Paper Office is a letter from the artist, dated 18th December 1801, to the Chief Secretary, the Right Honourable Charles Abbot, requesting permission to exhibit drawings which he had made of the Lord Lieutenant, Philip Yorke (the 3rd Earl of Hardwicke) and the Chief Secretary whilst accompanying them on their Wicklow Excursion.Following the Irish Rebellion of 1798 the proximity of the Wicklow mountains to Dublin, and their use as a safe retreat for the remnants of the United Irishmen, was of concern to the British administration, and a new military road was proposed to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland Major Cornwallis in February 1800. Major Cornwallis was replaced in March 1801 by Philip Yorke, 3rd Earl of Hardwicke. Construction of the road began in August 1801 and continued until 1809.A pair of watercolours entitled View of Powerscourt and the Golden Spears and View of The Valley of Glencree, watermarked 1798, unsigned, were sold at Adam's Auctioneers, Dublin, on the 31st May 2017, lot 21, the first of which is taken from the same view point and has a similar overall composition, with Powerscourt House showing in the middle distance.

He became a student at Goldsmiths’ School of Art, and whilst still at art school in 1935 he was hit by a car when out cycling. The accident left him in permanent pain which was to dog him throughout his short life and ultimately lead to his early demise in 1948 at the age of 33. Unable to return to his studies after the accident, Welch lived an invalid’s life in the Kent countryside with his devoted housekeeper, Evelyn (Evie) Sinclair, who remained with Welch at his different residences until May 1946, two months after Welch and his partner Eric Oliver moved to Middle Orchard, at Crouch near Borough Green, Kent. However, Sinclair returned to Middle Orchard in July 1948 to assist Welch until his death. During all this time he continued to paint and write, building up a large body of work. His paintings were exhibited during his lifetime in London as well as posthumously in 1954 by Leicester Galleries, and in November 1984 by Abbott and Holder.

Laurence Stephen Lowry RBA, RA (1887-1976)"The Stepped Street" Signed and dated 1929, pencil, 38cm by 27.5cmProvenance: Phillips London, Tuesday 4th June 1991, British, Irish, Traditional Modern and Contemporary, lot 63 "The Stepped Street", 1929 is a superb example of Lowry’s mastery of drawing and comes from a golden period of productivity, creativity and artistic energy which formed the foundation of his successes to come . Shortly after leaving Art School in 1928, Lowry’s father suggested he sketch the nearby soon to be demolished St Simon’s Church in Salford and indeed a few days later the building was razed to the ground. This began Lowry’s search to record other locally threatened architectural gems such as Crowther Street, which was later partially demolished leaving only the right hand portion seen in the drawing which has since been restored. "The Stepped Street" is not a preparatory sketch for an oil painting, here Lowry gives us a detailed, complete, stand-alone and fully formed work in its own right in which he enjoys including many of his signature motifs, dogs, children, prams, smoking chimneys, porches and people in all their shapes and sizes make an appearance if you look hard enough…. In addition Lowry is also indulging his love of Steps as subject matter for his work as he says himself…‘Steps and things ... I liked doing steps, steps in Ancoats ... steps in Stockport ... steps anywhere you like, simply because I like steps and the area which they were in was an industrial area. I did a lot, you see. I've never found it interesting to paint pure landscapes. I'm not interested in pure landscapes'. - L.S. Lowry ©. Jonathan Horwich, January 2023The work is stuck onto the backboard of the mount. Pin holes to each corner. Slight time staining/oxidisation to the paper, most noticeable to the sky. Very slight cockling to the paper upper right.
