CHARLES LEWIS (1808–1880) Charles George Lewis was a British printmaker. The second son of Frederick Christian Lewis, and brother of John Frederick Lewis, he was born in Enfield, Middlesex. He was instructed in drawing and engraving by his father.Lewis retired in about 1877, and died suddenly from apoplexy at his residence at Felpham, near Bognor, on 16 June 1880. He was buried in Felpham churchyard.Lewis had a facility in etching, and in combining line engraving, stipple, and mezzotint.Many of his best-known plates were after the works of Sir Edwin Landseer. The earliest of these was Hafed, published in 1837. Besides these were smaller plates after works of Landseer, most of which had previously been engraved by Thomas Landseer and others. His etchings after Landseer began with To-ho! published in 1830, and included the set of eight plates of The Mothers. EDWIN HENRY LANDSEER (1802-1873)Sir Edwin Henry Landseer RA (7 March 1802 – 1 October 1873) was an English painter and sculptor, well known for his paintings of animals, particularly horses, dogs, and stags. However, his best known works are the lion sculptures in Trafalgar Square.His career was a story of remarkable social as well as professional success: he was the favourite painter of Queen Victoria (who considered him ‘very good looking although rather short’) and his friends included Dickens and Thackeray.Landseer was a notable figure in 19th-century British art, and his works can be found in Tate Britain, the Victoria and Albert Museum, Kenwood House and the Wallace Collection in London. He also collaborated with fellow painter Frederick Richard Lee.Landseer's popularity in Victorian Britain was considerable, and his reputation as an animal painter was unrivalled. Much of his fame, and his income, was generated by the publication of engravings of his work.In the year before her marriage, the queen commissioned a portrait of herself, as a present for Prince Albert. He taught both Victoria and Albert to etch, and made portraits of Victoria's children as babies, usually in the company of a dog. He also made two portraits of Victoria and Albert dressed for costume balls, at which he was a guest himself. One of his last paintings was a life-size equestrian portrait of the Queen, shown at the Royal Academy in 1873, made from earlier sketches.Famous for the painting 'The Monarch of the Glen', 1851: this image was widely distributed in steel engravingsSo popular and influential were Landseer's paintings of dogs in the service of humanity that the name Landseer came to be the official name for the variety of Newfoundland Dog that, rather than being black or mostly black, features a mix of both black and white. It was this variety Landseer popularised in his paintings celebrating Newfoundlands as water rescue dogs, most notably Off to the Rescue (1827), A Distinguished Member of the Humane Society (1838), and Saved (1856). The paintings combine the Victorian conception of childhood with the appealing idea of noble animals devoted to humankind, a devotion indicated, in Saved, by the fact the dog has rescued the child without any apparent human involvement.
