PHILIP REINAOLE, R.A. I I9 



measures 4 ft. by 5 ft. 8 inches. This picture was 

 painted in the year 1792. The artist was then 

 doubtless at the zenith of his fame, as it is recorded 

 that he received no less than 500 guineas for it ; 

 a very large fee in those days. 



Lord Middleton has seven pictures by this artist 

 in the collection at Birdsall House, Yorkshire, 

 viz. : — 



(i) " Chesterton Windmill," Henry 6th.— Lord Middleton 

 with his hounds (The Warwickshire, of which he was Master 

 from 1812 to 1822). The body of the pack, in full cry, are 

 streaming up a slope on the landing side of a wide stream ; 

 one couple are in the stream and another couple are just 

 coming up to it. Lord Middleton is driving his white horse 

 at it, and among the field are Mr. B. Lawley (afterwards 

 Lord Wenlock), Sir Francis Lawley, Mr. Garforth, Mr. 

 Willoughby (grandfather of the present Lord Middleton), Lord 

 Clonmel, in black, who has just cleared the brook. Lord 

 Aylesford, Sir Charles Mordaunt, dragging his horse out of 

 the water, and Sir C. Biddulph. Chesterton Windmill is in 

 the distance. 



(2) " Gone to Ground in the Clump near Birdsall." The 

 famous hound Vanguard and his sister Vanity, with a few 

 more, are racing with hackles up to an earth among great 

 boulders. Will Carter the huntsman and Tom Carter the 

 first whipper-in also figure in this picture ; size 4 feet 3 inches 

 by 3 feet i inch high. 



These two pictures have been reproduced in The 

 Annals of the Waiivickshire Hunt (the late Sir 

 Charles Mordaunt and the Hon. W. R. Verney, 

 London, 1896) : the latter has been engraved for 

 separate publication.
