(1783-1852), James Duffield Harding (1798-1863), and superlatively in 

 R. P. Bonington (1801-28). 



Of the best French artists of the first half and middle of the XlXth 

 century who designed for lithography, the following may be mentioned : 



Antoine Charles Horace Vernet (called Carle Vernet). 1758-1836. 



Nieolas Toussaint Charlet. 1792-1845. 



Theodore Gericault. 1791-1824. 



Eugene Delacroix. 1798-1863. 



Eugene Lami. 1800-90. 



Achille Deveria. 1800-57. 



Auguste Raffet. 1804-60. 



Guillaume Sulplce Chevallier (known as Gavarni). 1804-66. 

 Honore Daumier. 1808-79. One of the greatest draughtsmen of 

 the XlXth century, and best known by his caricatures in lithography. 



Of the next generation the most original artists in France, who 

 practised the art, were Edouard Manet (1832-83), and Fantin-Latour 

 (1836-1904), the latter especially notable for his use of the scraper. 



In Germany the long-lived Adolf von Menzel (1815-1905) produced 

 a considerable number of lithographs, his most interesting work being the 

 Versuclie auf Stein )nit Pinsel unci Schabeisen, 1851, showing scraped 

 work in lithotint. 



The great Spanish sathist, Francisco Goya, who has already been 

 mentioned in the section on Aquatint, is also the author of a few litho- 

 graphs. His four Bull-figlits, issued at Bordeaux in 1815, are among 

 the greatest achievements m lithography. 



To recur to lithography in England, the following names are the most 

 interesting in the work of the earlier half and middle of the XlXth 

 century : 



James "Ward. 1769-1859. Anunal subjects. 



John Doyle. 1797-1868. For a lengthy series of political caricatures 

 signed H. B. 



George Cattermole. 1800-68. 

 T. S. Boys. 1803-74. 

 Sir David Wilkie. 1785-1841. 

 W. J. Mtiller. 1812-45. 



Joseph Nash. 1809-78. Original, and also after Sir David Wilkie 

 and W. J. Mtiller. 



J. F. Lewis. 1805-76. 



R. J. Lane. 1800-72. Interesting for his portraits. 

 John Linnell, Junr. Worked about 1843. 



The best work produced in England during the XlXth century is that 

 of the famous etchers Legros and Whistler. And the name of Thomas 

 R. Way (1861-1913) cannot be forgotten, not so much for his own litho- 

 graphs, as for the interest in the art which he, and his father Thomas 

 Way, helped to excite in others, notably in Whistler. Many good living 

 artists are now using the process for then original work and finding new 

 possibilities in this medium, and none of the arts of making prints is 

 more alive to-day than lithography.
