Alexander fell from his horse on his way home from Reading and was rendered tetraplegic. He was rescued and taken home. That night, with his solicitors (Blandy & Blandy) peremptorily summoned, and only hours before his impending death, he changed his will to cut out other nephews and leave everything to Catherine's son (whom she had with foresight christened Alexander Cobham Martyr), on condition that the boy changed his surname to Cobham. This he did, together with his parents, and thus did Miss Cobham/Mrs Martyr become Mrs. Cobham, and Alexander Cobham Martyr become Alexander Cobham Cobham, great great grandfather of William PalmerPlease note, Dreweatts have applied for a de minimis exemption licence for the ivory in this lot (Ref: FNANYYUS) Please note, Dreweatts have applied for a de minimis exemption licence for the ivory in this lot (Ref:9ZNXQFSS)

Little is known about his apprenticeship years but he was quickly established in the profession of miniature painting. It is possible that he is the 'William Wood' exhibiting at the Royal Academy as early as 1788 and was a regular exhibitor throughout his career. He strove to improve the status of portrait miniatures and watercolour portraits and to have such works recognized as 'high art'. In 1807, for example, he was a founder member of the 'New Society of Painters in Miniature and Watercolour'. This society was established to rival the watercolour exhibiting societies, which were dominated by landscape artists.
