Very good condition with only very minor signs of external wear. Some parts of the wrapper slightly detached from the spine. [The Connoisseur - Extra Number - No.2]. John Downman (1750 December 24, 1824) was a Welsh portrait and subject painter. Downman is thought to have been born near Ruabon, Denbighshire, the son of Francis Downman, attorney, of St Neots, and Charlotte (née Goodsend, eldest daughter of the private secretary to George I); his grandfather, Hugh Downman (16721729), had been the master of the House of Ordnance at Sheerness. The Downman family is usually known as a Devonshire one, but the exact connexion between the artist and the Devonshire branch has not been traced. He was educated first at Chester, then at Liverpool, and finally at the Royal Academy schools, and was for a while in the studio of Benjamin West. Gerhard Gustaf Adam Nolcken (1780) Downman is believed to have been "pressed" for the navy as a young man, and on his escape settled down for a while in Cambridge (1777), eventually coming to London, where he contributed to various art exhibitions. In 1804 he moved to the village of West Malling in Kent. In 1806, Downman visited Plymouth in the West Country, between 1807 and 1808 he practised at Exeter, afterwards working in London for some years, settling at Chester in 1818-19, then finally moving to Wrexham, where his only daughter married and where he died on 24 December 1824. He left a large collection of his paintings and drawings to his daughter. He was also the father of Sir Edwin Downman. He exhibited 148 works in the Royal Academy between 1769 and 1819, mainly portraits, but often fancy subjects, such as 'Rosalind,' painted for the Shakespeare Gallery; 'The Death of Lucretia; The Priestess of Bacchus;' 'Tobias;' 'Fair Rosamond;' 'The Return of Orestes;' 'Duke Robert,' etc. In 1795 he was elected an associate of the Royal Academy. His first work at the Royal Academy (1769) was A small portrait in oil,' and the last (1819), A late Princess personifying Peace crowning the glory of England reflected on Europe, 1815. In 1884 the trustees of the British Museum acquired, by purchase, a volume containing numerous coloured drawings by Downman, among which were several portraits, now separately mounted. He also left several volumes of exquisite drawings, executed in red and black chalk, of which Ralph Neville Grenville published a catalogue (Taunton, 1865). He also painted some miniature portraits. Engravings were also made by Bartolozzi and others. Many of his portraits have attached to them remarks of considerable importance respecting the persons represented. (Wikipedia). …

First and only edition, edited by the Cornish poet Richard Polwhele, but sponsored and published by a literary society in Exeter - and largely written by them. Polwhele's preface gives a good deal of information about the contributors, who include Samuel Badcock, John Bamfylde, Hugh Downman, Edward Drewe and Stephen Weston - as well as Polwhele himself. The only named female contributor is 'Miss Hunt', the daughter of Dr Rowland Hunt of Stoke Doyle, Northants, who wrote an elegy on Dunkeswell Abbey (a little north of Honiton). This is Mary Hunt (1764-1834), who is said to have been a friend of the Bowdler family, and to have taught Princess Charlotte (d. 1817). She spent the latter part of her life at Exeter and is buried at the Cathedral there.…
