John Cousen Art
John Cousen was articled to John Scott, the animal engraver. His larger works after Turner and others are of great excellence, but his exquisite taste is best displayed in his smaller plates after Turner, that is full of poetic feeling. He died in south London in 1880 but had retired from the practice of his art some 16 years before, in consequence of ill-health. This work was an original from the painting The Old Pier at Littlehampton realized by the English painter Sir Augustus Wall Callcott. Student of J. Hoffner was a good portraitist, but he is above all known for his landscapes, which gave him the name of "Claude Lorrain English."

Monogrammed with the butterfly in the stone. A fine impression of this extremely rare lithograph.
Tedeschi, Stratis, and Spink write, page 366: As originally transferred to stone, the image includes trial marks made with a pointed crayon to the left of the sitter's shoulder. There is also a smudge at lower right below the image and a small stry mark upper right. Only one impression of this state has been located. Now in the Britigh Museum, London, it once belonged to Thomas Way and is illustrated in the Levy (1975) catalogue.' The impression illustrated above lacks the stray mark on the right, as the sheet is too small to accommodate it.
Tedeschi, Stratis and Spink write, page 366: 'This portrait of George Govier, was drawn ad the master smith conversed with the artist during a break from his work. Govier was born in Lyme Regis...
