LAMBERT MARSHALL, 



(Born 1810.) 



LAMBERT, son of Benjamin Marshall, was 

 born at Newmarket in 18 10. At an early- 

 age he betrayed possession of artistic talents of 

 high order, and when only sixteen years of age 

 executed a portrait of his father, which was 

 engraved by Fry, and reproduced in the Sporting 

 Magazine for September, 1826. This Hkeness, 

 given on p. 94, is the only one by the younger 

 Marshall it has been possible to trace. The 

 Editor, in referring to it, remarks of the painter 

 that " some of his animals are really surprising 

 for the pencil of so young an artist." In the 

 Sporting Magazine, between 1826 and 1836, we 

 find twenty-nine engravings from his pictures, and 

 all of these are either portraits of race horses or 

 sporting subjects. A good example of his work 

 engraved by J. Greig, and published in vol. Ixxxv. 

 for 1835, is "Coursing," which is here reproduced. 

 Lambert Marshall's contributions to public exhibi- 

 tions were but two ; one picture shown at the 

 Suffolk Street Gallery and the other at the British 

 7 VOL. 11.
