Huntsman and Hounds
Robert Polhill Bevan (1865-1925). 1898-99.
The lithograph "Huntsman and Hounds" is printed in the centre of the front cover of the portfolio for the "Hunting Scenes". Above the cover plate is the title: 4 Hunting Scenes / by R.P.Bevan and below: Somerset 1898. The contents of the folio are printed inside the front cover. A number of front covers, not made up into complete portfolios, have survived. The printing was carried out by Bridge & Son.
After the Exmoor lithographs had been completed, Bevan did three stones only before he gave up lithography at the end of 1901, when there is a clear break until 1918.
"Throughout his life Bevan remained a marvellous artist of horses and of dogs. However in these early lithographs there is a gaiety and a spontanaiety which in the work of the 1920s becomes much more solid and formal. His feeling of tone in lithography is already very apparent." (1972 - William Weston Gallery, London. Lithographs by Robert Bevan).
