painted a " Scene in Windsor Great Park," con- 

 taining some twenty equestrian portraits. The 

 scene is the Long Walk, Windsor Castle appearing 

 in the distance, and the picture shows Her Majesty 

 attended by her suite and accompanied by the King 

 and Queen of the Belgians, and other distinguished 

 persons. The horses, all portraits of favourites of 

 the Queen, are admirably painted. This picture, 

 which was engraved in 1838 by F. Bromley and 

 published by Hodgson & Graves, was exhibited at 

 the Royal Academy in 1841.

 of his own work. At Wilton Street, Grosvenor 

 Place, he issued the first number of The Huntej's 

 Annual, a series of four drawings on stone by 

 J. W. Giles from the artist's paintings, all "on 

 elephant size," viz., 28 inches by 23 inches. The 

 publication is dedicated to the King, and the pic- 

 tures are (i) a portrait of Charles Davies on Hermit, 

 just emerging from the kennels surrounded by the 

 Buckhounds — "all remarkable likenesses," says the 

 writer of an appreciative critique in the Sporting 

 Magazine ; (2) a portrait of T. Goosey, huntsman 

 of the Belvoir, the scene being Croxton Park ; 

 (3) Geo. Montford and Will Derry, huntsman and 

 whipper-in to the Melton (Quorn), scene John o' 

 Groat's Gorse ; and (4) John Shirley, huntsman to 

 the Bramshill hounds, scene Bramshill House. In
