The
son of a London barber, Joseph
Mallord William Turner 1775 - 1851 is generally acknowledged to be
the most creative and perceptive artist that Britain has ever
produced. By the age of 13 he had already been admitted to the
Royal Academy Schools and a year later was exhibiting his first
watercolours at the Academy. By 24 he was an associate member. A
master with watercolors and with oils, Turner is celebrated for his
innovative treatment of light on a wide range of landscape
subjects. Later works such as "Snow Storm: Steam Boat off a
Harbor's Mouth" make it clear why many view him as an important
precursor to the imminent Impressionists and modern abstract
art. All

Abingdon
Antique
engraved print published from
Picturesque Views in England and Wales. From Drawings by J.M.W.
Tuner, engraved under the superintendence of Mr. Charles Heath with
descriptive and historic illustrations by H.E. Lloyd. Two Volumes.
London: Published for the Proprietor, by Longman, Orme, Brown,
Green, and Longmans, Paternoster Row. (1825-38). Folio Sized
The
ninety-six engravings which made up
Turner's Picturesque Views in England and Wales were issued by
Charles Heath and Robert Jennings and Co. between the years 1827
and 1838. In the first published state on folio sheets of laid
India paper, only sixty impressions of each were issued according
to contemporary advertisements; of these thirty were sold together
with their preliminary outline etchings. The history of the series
is extremely interesting; originally engravings were to be
published in serial form, consisting of one hundred and twenty
views of cities, seaports, abbeys, castles and waterways. Charles
Heath and the firm of printsellers, Jennings and Co., who - and
this should have been a warning to Turner - had been unable to
maintain a steady relationship with any one publisher during a
period of about ten years. Turner was paid £30 for each of
the
drawings and it was agreed that once they were engraved Heath could
sell them to provide further income.
By the end of
1825 however the inevitable crash
followed the great economic boom with s uch disastrous effect that
nearly eighty banks throughout the country were forced to close. In
spite of this, publication of the Picturesque Views continued and
in 1829, Turner had been travelling around the country, returning
with, amongst others, some thirteen sketches which were later
developed for the series.
The venture
was proving expensive and beyond the
means of Jennings whose share was sold to Moon, Boys and Graves in
1831. Heath was failing to find further subscribers and was also
running into financial difficulties. By 1838, Longman's, who had
taken over a half-share in the venture from Moon, Boys and Graves,
decided that it was doomed financially. They had issued the
finished engravings in two volumes at a reduced price but there was
still little response, so to avoid further losses the series was
terminated. Heath was financially ruined and sold off much of his
personal collection to settle his debts. Then Longman's, in an
attempt to recoup their losses, put up at auction all the copper
plates together with the remaining stock of prints. At the last
minute the whole collection was bought privately by Turner himself
for £3000, allegedly to prevent the plates falling into the
hands
