 Postmaster-General ; J. Freeman on Traverser, and 

 George Bartlett, the feeder, stands on the left

 measures 72 inches by 48 inches, was shown at the 

 Royal Academy Exhibition of 1847. 



Davis's pictures of the Royal Hunt and Mr. 

 Garth's hounds, and of incidents connected there- 

 with, were numerous : many of them are to be 

 seen in the houses of hunting residents and in 

 the hotels of the district, where they possess an 

 interest apart from their artistic merit which would 

 not attach to them elsewhere. 



Among other works may be mentioned, " Fox- 

 hounds and Whelps," which was engraved on stone 

 by S. W. Giles, size of plate 12 J inches by 10 inches : 

 " Foxhounds Running in Covert," size of canvas 2 

 feet 6 inches by 2 feet 2 inches. The hounds, 

 about five couple, are in full cry on the outside of 

 a thick forest ; a glimpse of light is shining- 

 through the distant foliage. A beautiful mezzotint 

 engraving of the work, 15! inches by 11^ inches, 

 was executed by W. Giller, published in 1S29 by 

 Mr. Davis, at 10, Wilton Street, Grosvenor Square, 

 and sold by Boys and Graves, 6, Pall Mall ; the 

 original picture is now in the collection of H. J. 

 King, Esq., 138, Piccadilly, London. "Foxhounds 

 in their Kennel," and "The King's Harriers,"
