WILLIAM DANIELL R.A. (BRITISH 1769-1837)
Est: £15,000 - £20,000
WILLIAM DANIELL R.A. (BRITISH 1769-1837) VIEW OF THE NEW BRIDGE OVER THE RIVER TWEED AT KELSO Oil on canvas 81cm x 122cm (32in x 48in) Thos. Agnew & Sons, London, no.13548 Daniell published an aquatint of this subject on July 15th 1804.William Daniell is arguably the foremost topographical artist produced by Britain. Mastering both oil paint and the delicate aquatint printmaking process, Daniell developed his career as a professional artist under the tutelage of his uncle, Thomas Daniell, with whom he was sent to live after the early death of his father in 1779. Thomas Daniell and his then sixteen-year-old apprentice undertook extensive travel to India in 1786, during which time they executed their first series of aquatints, with the guidance of local Indian craftsmen. This extraordinary journey lasted some eight years, ranging from Calcutta to Delhi and as far as Garhwal in the Himalayas.Upon his return to England, it is reputed that the younger Daniell spent the next seven years working from six in the morning until midnight each day perfecting his aquatint technique. His hard-earned expertise was shown to best effect in A Voyage Round Britain, an eight-volume folio of prints. The journey upon which this masterwork was based was completed in six separate trips, over the period 1813 to 1823. Pencil sketches were made with notes regarding colour and texture, with the prints later produced in remarkable detail in the artist’s London studio. This significant body of work was published by Longman between 1814 and 1825, and remains a testament to the artist’s skill and industriousness. Such was its popularity that many scenes from the folio remain ubiquitous in art collections around the UK to this day. Daniell’s travels in Scotland were extensive, encompassing the Orkney islands and many of the Hebrides. The oil offered here was published as an aquatint in 1804 as View of the New Bridge over the River Tweed at Kelso, Scotland, and as such represents one of his earliest engagements with the Scottish landscape. Inscribed ‘To John Rennie Esq.r Civil Engineer & F.R. A.S.S. &c.; &c.; by his obliged and obedient servant, William Daniell’, the print is a record of the bridge’s construction. In 1797 the old bridge had collapsed in a storm and subsequently the Scottish engineer John Rennie (1761-1821) was called in. It was his first bridge commission and Rennie utilised techniques previously unheard of in bridge construction, using a combination of cast iron and stone to create wide arches. The result was considered a huge success. The Kelso Bridge was so impressive that Rennie won contracts to build three major London bridges: Waterloo (a larger version of Kelso bridge), Southwark and London Bridge (completed from his design after his death).Daniell expertly captures the atmosphere of this panoramic view, from the elegance and grandeur of the bridge itself to its dramatic reflection in the water below. The imposing ruins of the abbey on the Tweed’s banks dominate the vista, but close examination reveals a multitude of detail: a horse and carriage cross the splendid new bridge whilst chimneys smoke in Kelso town beyond. Scotland remained a fertile source of inspiration for Daniell and indeed many of the oils he produced for the Royal Academy exhibitions of 1813 to 1825 were of Scottish subjects, explaining why his name is often synonymous with the country’s landscape and its landmarks. Daniell was elected to the Academy in 1822, beating John Constable in the same ballot by six votes. As well as being greatly respected in his field, he was a well-travelled individual with a peerless work ethic and innovative approach to making his own fortune, which indeed he did, very successfully so. Daniell’s work is represented in many leading institutions both nationally and internationally.

William Daniell (British 1769-1837), Dowlutabad the ancient Deo Gurh, hand-coloured aquatint, circa 1826, from Scenery, Costumes, and Architecture, chiefly on the Western side of India, by Captain Robert Grindlay, after Richard Gilson Reeve (British, 1803 - 1889), mounted, glazed and framed, 22.9 cm. high x 27.9 cm. Grindlay (1786-1877) served in the Bombay Native Infantry from 1804-20, rising to Captain. Captain Robert Grindlay's "Scenery, Costumes and Architecture, chiefly on the Western Side of India", issued from 1826 to 1830 was a result of his interest in architecture especially the connection between Egyptian and Hindu architecture. A number of original sketches in the book are his own. He was given views of other subjects by Captain Charles Auber, Lieutenant-Colonel John Johnson and William Westall. Several sketches in the book were handed over to professional artists to be worked up into finished compositions: William Westall, William Daniell, David Roberts, Clarkson Stanfield, Copley Fielding and George Cruikshank. The plates were engraved and coloured with unusual care: with etching by one hand supplemented by engraving by another. Even the name of the colorist, J.B. Hogarth, is given. The colouring is elaborate with shadows heightened with varnish to deepen the contrasts.

Seiferheld Gallery, New York, in their exhibition 'Animal drawings from the XV to XX centuries' No. 8, December 1962. The present work corresponds to the engraving printed in reverse in 1835, and also includes the study of the rear of the rhino, which was lacking from the other 2 drawings but present in the engraving.

DANIELL, William (1769-1837) & CAUNTER, John Hobart (1794-1851). Tableaux pittoresques de l'Inde. Traduction de l'oriental annual par P.J. Auguste Urbain. Paris: Bellizard, Barthes, Dufour et Lowell, 1836. Large 8vo., (9 4/8 x 6 2/8 inches). Half-title. 22 steel engraved plates after William Daniell. EXCEPTIONALLY FINE BINDING OF PRISTINE WHITE PAPER BOARDS ELABORATELY DECORATED IN GILT SIGNED C. THEVENON, WITH ORIGINAL WHITE STIFF PAPER DUST JACKET, all edges gilt. Provenance: from the library of Jacques Levy, his sale, Sotheby's, 20th April 2012, lot 340. AN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE COPY, IN PRISTINE CONDITION. First published in English as the third volume in a series of books called the "Oriental Annual". Caunter "went to India about 1810 as a cadet with the 34th foot, but was soon disgusted with his situation and, 'having discovered, much to his disappointment, nothing on the continent of Asia to interest him', he returned home. He recorded his impressions of India in a poem entitled The Cadet (2 vols., 1814).Caunter was well known in London as a fashionable preacher and was a minor author and poet of some substance. India remained a preoccupation, treated in several volumes including India (3 vols., 1836) (part of the Romance of History series). He published five volumes entitled The Oriental Annual of Science (1834-8). Caunter's other works include The Island Bride (1830), a poem in six cantos; The Fellow Commoner (3 vols., 1836), a novel; St Leon: a Drama (1835); and several works of theology" (H. C. G. Matthew for DNB). The fine and evocative plates are after William Daniell who initially accompanied his celebrated uncle Thomas Daniell to India between 1786 and 1793. On his return to London in 1794, Daniell spent the next fifteen years working on the aquatints for their joint work "Oriental Scenery" published in six volumes between 1795-1808). "Unlike his uncle, William increasingly produced representations of Indian figures and small, waterside scenes, concentrating less on topography than on oriental fantasy, [he] was an extremely accomplished aquatinter and etcher and at times experimented with the latest printmaking techniques as adopted by J. M. W. Turner, for instance wiping out highlights in his watercolours. He was a prolific printmaker, producing a series of high-quality productions that included A Brief History of Ancient and Modern India (1802-5); Interesting Selections from Animated Nature (1807-12); A Familiar Treatise on Perspective (1810); View of London (1812); Illustrations of the Island of Staffa (1818); Sketches of South Africa (1820); Views of Windsor, Eton and Virginia Water (1827-30), and the Oriental Annual (1835). His most famous independent work was his Voyage round Great Britain (4 vols., 1814-25), which made extensive use of sepia wash (Natasha Eaton for DNB).

His plan was to journey around the whole coast and record views of places of interest, describing the scenery and the conditions of the people. The journey was completed in six separate trips, commencing from Land's End in Cornwall. On his returns to London, he would translate his elaborate sketches and notes on colour and texture into aquatints that were highly praised for their artistic quality. At the same time Daniell worked on other projects, which included a large number of Scottish paintings for the Academy Exhibitions such as, most likely, the present picture.
