181934051819. Aquatint printed in colors with additional hand-coloring. Originally published by the artist Newcastle: 1819. A modern impression printed on hand-made wove paper with wide margins and in excellent condition. Thomas M. Richardson was a Newcastle-based artist who began his career as an engraver of local views. From 1818 he exhibited paintings in several places in London including the Royal Academy. Views of his native city and its environs were a staple of his output. In this view we can identify several buildings which still stand: the neoclassical Moot Hall with its porticoed entrance and the Castle Keep behind it. Toward the center of the composition the neo-Gothic spire of St. Nicholas' church now cathedral rises above a terrace of houses. unknown books
186516105London 1865. Chromolithograph. Trimmed and mounted on board as issued. In excellent condition with the exception of a tear in the image. Scratch in upper section of image with small puncture mark. Image size: 16 3/4 x 25 13/16 inches. A picturesque view of St. Goar on the Rhine by the celebrated landscape painter Thomas Richardson.<br/> <br/>Thomas M. Richardson born and died in Newcastle upon Tyne but spent a considerable amount of time traveling in France Switzerland Italy and Germany and produced lithographs of the watercolours he did there. This excellent study on the Rhine being a perfect example. The printing a major element in the success of a chromolithograph was done by M. & N. Hanhart. Richardson was son and pupil of T. M. Richardson the Elder who taught him to work in oils and watercolours. After his father's death Richardson the Younger worked exclusively in watercolour. He was a member of the Society of Painters in Watercolour and a member of the Royal Scottish Academy. Chromolithography was achieved by using a series of carefully registered tint stones to create a smooth richly coloured image. This printing process became immensely popular towards the end of the nineteenth century and was widely used in fine art as well as commercial printing. One of the most important chromolithographic firms was M & N Hanhart in London. The firm founded by Michael Hanhart began publishing its first prints in 1840 and remained in business until the end of the century. Hanhart's was known for its large separately published chromolithographs but it printed everything from book illustrations to song sheets. This stunning print after Richardson is a fine example of Hanhart's superior chromolithographs. Its intense colour and meticulous detailing is common of Hanhart's superior printing techniques representing the best example of nineteenth century chromolithography.<br/> <br/>Benezit Dictionary of Artists. unknown books

1848168912London: Richard Bentley 1848. Richardson's explorations in the nineteenth century have been most unjustifiably neglected First edition of this detailed travelogue by an English explorer and abolitionist. Richardson 1806-1851 joined a Sahara-bound expedition leaving Tripoli in 1845 hoping to "gather information on the legitimate and slave trades in the interior and in the unfulfilled expectation that he would be made vice-consul at Ghadames a strategically important market town. From Ghadames he travelled to Ghat a very important slave market but there was forced by ill health and lack of equipment to turn back travelling via Fezzan and reaching England in 1846" ODNB. His account includes descriptions of the major cities in the Fezzan region trade routes and oases as well as the culture religion and traditions of the Tuaregs. Richardson also frequently refers to the trans-Saharan slave trade and the position of slaves in local Tuareg communities. The Royal Geographical Society reviewed Richardson's Travels favourably upon publication: "These volumes are useful contributions to our knowledge of the interior of the imperfectly known regions of Northern Africa; and they describe some hundreds of miles of desert routes over which no Europeans had previously passed as well as several of the cities of the Desert of which we had not before received accounts from European visitors" p. lix. 2 vols octavo 215 x 130 mm.

Richardson was an English explorer and ardent anti-slavery campaigner; he considered the slave trade to be "the most gigantic system of wickedness that world has ever seen" Wright Libya Chad and the Central Sahara p. 68. In 1845 Richardson joined a Sahara-bound expedition leaving Tripoli. With it he travelled to "Ghadames became the first European to visit Ghat and after a nine-month long and arduous journey through Fezzan arrived safely back in Tripoli" Embacher cataloguer's translation. His account includes descriptions of the major cities in the Fezzan region trade routes and oases as well as the culture religion and traditions of the Tuaregs. Richardson also frequently refers to the trans-Saharan slave trade and the position of slaves in local Tuareg communities a subject he had already discussed in his "Report on the Slave-Trade of the Great Desert" written for the Anti-Slavery Reporter and Aborigines' Friend upon his return to London in 1846. Upon publication the Journal of the Royal Geographical Society wrote of Richardson's Travels: "These volumes are useful contributions to our knowledge of the interior of the imperfectly known regions of Northern Africa; and they describe some hundreds of miles of desert routes over which no Europeans had previously passed as well as several of the cities of the Desert of which we had not before received accounts from European visitors" JRGS vol. 18 p. lix. 2 vols octavo 221 x 137 mm.

Franklin was to go as far west as possible and Richardson was to go east to the mouth of the Coppermine River. These were the only known points on the central coast and had been reached in 1793 and 1771 respectively. He had with him two specially-built boats which were more ocean-worthy than the voyageur canoes used by Franklin on his previous expedition. They gave their names to the Dolphin and Union Strait near the end of his route.</p><p>Richardson's journey was successful and he reached his furthest east the same day that Franklin reached his furthest west 16 August 1826. He abandoned his boats at Bloody Falls and trekked overland to Fort Franklin which he reached three weeks before Franklin. Together they had surveyed 1878 mi 3022 km of previously unmapped coast. The natural history discoveries of this expedition were so great that they had to be recorded in two separate works the <em>Flora Boreali-Americana</em> 1833-40 written by William Jackson Hooker and the <em>Fauna Boreali-Americana</em> 1829-37 written by Richardson William Swainson John Edward Gray and William Kirby.</p><p><strong>Condition:</strong> Bindings heavily worn at spines and extremities some color restoration to boards board edges worn fps. with bookplate removal residue endleaves offset text and plates a bit toned folding map toned repaired and backed with paper else good.</p> Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans hardcover
