180941443London: William Miller 1809. Hand-coloured aquatint engraving by D. Havell after Henry Salt on wove paper watermark 'J Whatman'. An excellent view of Tamil Nadu including one of the great irrigation tanks: a true masterpiece of early technology.<br/> <br/> Henry Salt artist traveller diplomat and collector of antiquities was born at Lichfield Staffordshire England on 14 June 1780. He was determined to become a portrait-painter and upon leaving school was taught drawing by Glover the watercolour-painter of Lichfield. In 1797 he went to London to study with Joseph Farington R.A. and then with John Hoppner R.A. in 1800. The turning point in his career was 3 June 1802 when Salt left London for an Eastern tour with George viscount Valentia afterwards Lord Mountnorris whom he accompanied as secretary and draughtsman. He visited India Sri Lanka and Abyssinia returning to England on 26 Oct. 1806. He made many drawings some of which served to illustrate Lord Valentia's Voyages and Travels to India published in 1809. The present image is fromTwenty-four Views in St. Helena the Cape India Ceylon the Red Sea Abyssinia and Egypt published by William Miller with hand-coloured aquatints by D. Havell and J. Bluck from Salt's own drawings. The originals of all these drawings were retained by Lord Valentia who also retained the ownership of the copper plates after Salt's death. The format and style of presentation of the plates is similar to Thomas and William Daniell's great work Oriental Scenery 1795-1808 and the artistry displayed by both Salt and his engravers is in many cases more than a match for the Daniell's images. Salt visited Sri Lanka only a few years after the British had wretes power from the Dutch who had been the dominant western presence on the island from the middle of the 17th century until 1795.<br/> <br/> Abbey Travel II 515 no.13.

In 2001 the population of the civil parish of Standon was 823 and in the 2011 census it had a population of 879. Standon in Old English has a particular meaning which when broken down means 'Stone Hill'. The elements in Old English are 'stan' which means a stone rock and 'dun' which means a hill. Dated to 1086 the Church of All Saints has been listed as a Grade One building. It was rebuilt in 1847 except the middle aisle and the tower. It has since been restored three times with extensive work happening to the roof. The Church is a part of a benefice of churches which is formed of four church parishes of Staffordshire villages. These four parishes are Cotes Heath Swynnerton with Yarnfield Standon and Tittensor and these create the united family of 'The CoSST Churches'. The parishes are small Church of England parishes located 10 miles from the city of Stoke-on-Trent in the Lichfield Diocese. According to the Domesday Book from 1086 Standon had nine households which is considered quite small with 11 villagers three smallholders three slaves and one priest. The Lord of Standon in 1086 was Brian of Rauceby and the recorded Tenant-in-Chief was Robert of Stafford. In 1086 there were six ploughlands of which one was owned by the Lord of Standon and five were for men's plough teams. Prior to the Domesday Book the Lord of Standon was recorded to be Siward in 1066. Will be well-packed for posting/shipping. 8vo.
