Reflecting the romanticism of the period, the title page contains a dedication to the king and the following poem, reproduced here with its original spelling:<\/p>\n
Henry William (H.W.) Burgess was a landscape painter based in London. He came from the Burgess family of British artists, the son of portraitist William (d. 1812) and grandson of Thomas (fl. 1766-1786), and his own son John-Bagnold (1830-1897) also became a painter. Between 1809 and 1844, Burgess exhibited a large number of works at the Royal Academy, the British Institution, Suffolk Street and the New Water-Colour Society in London. He also served as landscape painter to William IV beginning in 1826.<\/p>\n
These lithographs were published by the firm of Charles Joseph Hullmandel (1789-1850), an English draftsman, lithographer and printer. He worked mainly in London, although he had trained in Paris as a painter and travelled extensively in Europe making topographical drawings. In 1817, on a visit to Munich, he was introduced to lithography by the pioneering lithographer Alois Senefelder. The following year he produced Twenty-four Views of Italy, a set of images he had drawn and lithographed. Dissatisfied with the way his work had been printed, Hullmandel set up his own lithographic press. The quality of work he published by himself and other artists such as Giovanni Belzoni helped popularize the topographical lithograph among British artists.<\/p>\n

As the title suggests they are at once natural history studies of the trees focusing on their “character and appearance,” and also picturesque landscapes. The focus is on huges magnificent old trees and their form, many with knotty twisted trunks and branches. Their landscape quality is enhanced on many with the addition of rural folk going about their routines provide a sense of scale, and local animals such as cattle and ducks. Burgess and Hullmandel were among the earliest practitioners of lithography in England, which in this series replicates the light to dark variations of an ink wash drawing very effectively. Burgess\u2019 attention to the qualities of light exhibited in these prints links him to his contemporaries Constable and Turner. This work was published the year after Burgess became landscape painter to William IV of England. They were printed by the skilled firm of Charles Hullmandel, who also published a similar work on trees based on works by James Duffield Harding.<\/p>\n Product description continues below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":44165,"template":"","meta":{"wds_primary_product_brand":0,"wds_primary_product_cat":0,"footnotes":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[983,5858,924,925],"product_tag":[42,7079,5607,5604,5606,1183,4679,5605,5188,1544,3317,5608,868,867,3659,1673,1861,3289,3318,709,543,2933,1191,5609],"class_list":{"0":"post-6927","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-natural-history-art","7":"product_cat-british-country-house","8":"product_cat-landscapes-vistas","9":"product_cat-parks-gardens","10":"product_tag-19th-century","11":"product_tag-antique-prints","12":"product_tag-appearance","13":"product_tag-burgess","14":"product_tag-character","15":"product_tag-charles","16":"product_tag-chine-applique","17":"product_tag-eidodendron","18":"product_tag-foreign","19":"product_tag-henry","20":"product_tag-hullmandel","21":"product_tag-indigenous","22":"product_tag-landscape","23":"product_tag-lithograph","24":"product_tag-picturesque","25":"product_tag-print","26":"product_tag-scenery","27":"product_tag-sepia","28":"product_tag-trees","29":"product_tag-view","30":"product_tag-views","31":"product_tag-vista","32":"product_tag-william","33":"product_tag-windsor","34":"post","35":"post-with-thumbnail","36":"post-with-thumbnail-large","38":"first","39":"instock","40":"purchasable","41":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/6927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/6927\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44232,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/6927\/revisions\/44232"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=6927"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=6927"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=6927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
