Lymington Roads

Print from 'Views of the principal Seats, and Marine and Landscape Scenery in the vicinity of Lymington, Hants, from original Pictures taken on the spot by J. M. Gilbert, Marine Painter’. This was a part publication lithographed by Haghe of which the first four prints, of 24, appeared in April 1832. The Yale Centre for British Art holds a complete copy signed by its original co-publisher Richard Andrew Grove of Lymington, suggesting its issue was completed that year and shows it was dedicated to Admiral Sir Harry Burrard Neale, each plate being accompanied by a sheet of descriptive letterpress by Benjamin Ferrey. (Grove's co-publishers according to notice of the first part in the May 1832 issue of the 'Literary Gazette', p. 331, were Ackermann in London, and both Fletcher & Son and Joyce & Co. in Southampton.) The 1838 date for this image and another from the series in the Museum collection, and variant publisher details of all four it holds, suggest they are later reissues.

The binding order in the Yale copy is as follows: Hurst Castle and the Needles from Pilewell; Walhampton House; Proposed suspension bridge across the Lymington River; Hurst Castle from Keyhaven; Boldre Church; Newlands; Milford. Hants. ; Yarmouth, Isle of Wight [see PAD1307]; Palace House, Beaulieu, Hants.; Christchurch, Hants.; Newtown Park; Lymington Harbour; The Alarm winning the Ladies Challenge Cup [at Cowes, August 1830, see PAD6514 and BHC4182]; Haven House, near Christchurch, Hants.; Lymington, Hants.; High Street, Lymington; [another view of] High Street, Lymington; Solent Sea Baths, Lymington, Hants.[see PAD1107]; Norton Lodge; Southeast view of Heron Court; Lymington Roads[this image]; Pylewell Manor House; Hincheslea Lodge; Lyndhurst, Hants.
