Needham, a "composition" landscape watercolour by Anna Russell [née Worsley] (1807-1876) the noted Bristol botanist, a monochrome study of a valley by Samuel Jackson (1794-1869), a maritime view, possibly in [?]South America, with a sailing ship at anchor and a second boat with slaves rowing, by Nathaniel Neal Solly (1811-1895), the biographer of Bristol-based artist William James Müller, and four others unattributed but probably by a slightly later hand, 20 watercolours, pen and black ink title page that reads 'Mary Carpenter/ Early Sketches taken chiefly from the years 1832 to 1838', watercolours with pen and ink attributions and dates, all but five of the works are neatly tipped onto album leaves, some minor spotting and surface dirt, occasional light browning, original burgundy straight-grain morocco, gilt, rubbed and worn, small folio, circa 1832-1838. ⁂ Rare. Fine early watercolours by the leading female advocate of deprived and delinquent children in mid-nineteenth-century England, and one of the first philanthropists to see the need to provide special facilities for their care. Carpenter was based in Bristol from 1829, and the present watercolours by her and various associates are from the ensuing decade. We have traced only four watercolours by Carpenter herself, all of which are held in the Bristol Museum & Art Gallery collection. "Mary developed a compulsion to set the world to rights. Apart from watercolour painting, which expressed a sensitivity to the beauty of her surroundings, she had little interest in female accomplishments" [Frank Prochaska, Oxford DnB, 23 September 2004] List of works with attributions inscribed (four further works included, but not listed below, are without an attribution): 1.
