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

The most substantial lexicographical undertaking in England between that of Samuel Johnson and the O.E.D. "First published as part of the Encyclopaedia Metropolitana 1818-37 it consisted of a great many illustrative quotations drawn from literature but with relatively few and brief definitions . Richardson's approach was based on the notion that quotations alone if sufficient in number could serve to elucidate 'true etymological meaning.' He went far beyond Johnson in collecting quotations beginning at the fourteenth century Johnson went back only to the end of the 16th century . Richardson sought by his vast collection of quotations to justify the preposterous theory of John Horne Tooke that each word had a single immutable meaning. In his own work each word and its derivatives were given one etymology and one meaning. His etymologies were as preposterous as his theories but his dictionary was of great interest to lexicographers because it foreshadowed the historical collections of quotations that were later to form the basis of the Oxford English Dictionary" Landau Dictionaries p. 66.

Richardson 1740-1820 political activist and geologist devoted his final years to agricultural research. He "experimented with sixteen grasses as described in An Elementary Treatise on the Indigenous Grasses of Ireland 1806. From 1808 he was a zealous advocate of fiorin grass Gaelic fioreann Agrostis stolonifera L as food for animals a preventive of famine and a means of abating the poor laws. He believed it to be the most nutritious of grasses with the advantages of late growth and harvesting; he pressed for its universal cultivation."-ODNB. Richardson believed fiorin grass should be planted on the various bogs of Ireland as a way of reclaiming the land and making it useful. He provides a most interesting description of the kinds of bogs in Ireland: moor softer moor red bog black bog and shaking quagmire; he recommends fiorin grass be planted on each.

1782263934London: J. Stockale; R. Faulder 1782. First Edition. Half Leather. Very Good binding. Ritson's first book in which he attacks Thomas Warton's History of English Poetry in such vitriolic tones -- Warton is a preternder a cheater and a liar -- as to cause quite a contretemps in late 18th century English literary circles. One assumes this actually pleased Ritson as he went on the next year to attack Samuel Johnson and George Steevens. Eventually Ritson went complete mad barricading himself in his rooms at Gray's Inn and setting fire to a pile of manuscripts. In an attractive later binding in red half-goat over marbled board with raised bands. We assume the binder was charged with binding a group of different books to a uniform size -- the title page is trimmed and mounted and all the other leaves are folded neatly to fit the bottom edge and then the leading edge over it. Rather astonishing actually. Very Good binding. J. Stockale; R. Faulder unknown books
