2l6 ANIMAL PAINTERS 



Other exhibitions received more of F. C. Turner's 

 attention than did the Royal Academy ; to the 

 British Institution, the Suffolk Street Galleries 

 and other galleries, he contributed no fewer than 

 sixty-five works. 



Like other animal painters of his day, F. C. 

 Turner was in course of time secured as a con- 

 tributor to the Sporting Magazine, though he was 

 an exhibitor at the various public London galleries 

 for two-and-twenty years before that journal was 

 adorned by a reproduction of any work from his 

 easel. We find him first represented in the 

 numbers for 1832, and the two years following by 

 plates from hunting pictures. These are : — 



In February, 1832 (No. i) — 



" Who-whoop ! who-whoop ! tear him, he's fairly run down." 



An engraving by John Romney from a work illus- 

 trative of the finish of a brilliant run with the 

 Old Berkeley, at which, no doubt, the artist was 

 present. 



In December, 1832 (No. 2) — 



" Tally-ho ! Tally-ho, there ! across the green plain." 



Engraved by John Romney from another picture 

 of the Old Berkeley, portraying the fox stealing 

 away, hounds in full cry on his line and the hunts- 

 man landing over a stiff fence out of the coppice 

 from which hounds have just broken.
