STOTHARD (Thomas, 1755-1834, English Painter, Illustrator and Engraver)

Autograph letter signed to Mrs Will Cribb Sending her "the two subjects you receive from me are fron Spencer's Fairy Queen and the Decameron ... the first is Una with the Satyres, ... & the other a secluded meadow scene from the latter ...", 1 side 8vo., Newman St, 25th September

His best-known painting is the Procession of the Canterbury Pilgrims, (now in Tate Britain), the engraving from which, begun by Luigi and continued by Niccolo Schiavonetti and finished by James Heath, was immensely popular. The commission for this picture was given to Stothard by Robert Hartley Cromek, and was the cause of a quarrel with his friend William Blake.
