* Bathe was born in 1849 in St. James, Bath, one of eight children of Richard (b.1807) and Harriet Bathe. Richard Bathe was a wine merchant and he educated his children in Bath. Census records show that John Bathe was lodging at St Giles in London by 1871 where he described himself as an 'artist, paintings' but he had probably studied at the Manchester School of Art from the age of about sixteen. Bathe distinguished himself early with a Royal Academy medal and he exhibited a total of ten works (including two Thames scenes at the Royal Academy in 1872 and 1873) before dying tragically young of consumption in Eton in late 1874, aged just twenty five. ++ Mixed condition; some with tears and wear at edges £500-700

The work was submitted too late for the exhibition itself but was included in the catalogue with the comment that '[Martin's] compositions may tend towards the kinds of extended perspective effects of panoramas, but they are (literally) contained by gilt frames in a perfectly conventional fashion.'
* Martin exhibited two views of Ilfracombe and the North Devon coast amongst five works shown by him at The Royal Academy in 1848. ++ Repaired top right corner; old tear/break lower right corner; lightly scored on rock on far left; some foxing; discoloration/fading £8000-12000

He is not a very large one tho' he killed a full seized [sic] bullock. Hooper has taken a photograph of him with me on a rock above him. It ought to make a capital picture."

Also a chromolithograph (30 x 44.5cm) of Indian hunting vignettes from 'The Graphic', signed by Poole and probably based upon sketches by him (4) Provenance: By descent in the family of the artist. ++ Each in generally good condition; the print faded £300-500
