John Russell, whose gracious portraits in pastel appealed to fashion with the special charm of their uncommon medium, also found happy interpretation on the copper-plate, especially from the delicate graver of P. W. Tomkins. The most attractive examples in colours are the charming _Maria_, _Maternal Love_ (Mrs. Morgan and child), and _Children Feeding Chickens_. Collyer’s _Mrs. Fitzherbert_ is also one of the most desirable among the numerous Russell colour-prints. When the engravings of Charles Ansell’s _Death of a Racehorse_ in 1784 had an immense sale, none presumably would have believed that, a hundred and twenty-five years later, collectors would hold him in high regard, not for the horses that made him famous, but for four dainty little drawings of domestic “interiors,” thoroughly representative of their period, preserved in P. W. Tomkins’s stipple prints, especially charming and rare in colours. Tomkins engraved other things of Ansell’s, Knight also; but the set of _The English Fireside_ and _The French Fireside_, _The English Dressing-Room_ and _The French Dressing-Room_ (the two latter reproduced here), if really fine in colour, must be a prize in the choicest collection. As these prints give us intimate glimpses into the home-life of the “smart set” of the period, so, thanks to the pictorial sense of that vivacious artist Edward Dayes, we are able to see just how the fashionable world comported itself in the parks. _An Airing in Hyde Park_ and _The Promenade in St. James’s Park_, the one engraved by Gaugain, the other by Soiron, are alive with contemporary social and pictorial interest, and in colours they are rare to seek. Social interest, too, flavours chiefly the name of Henry William Bunbury. Classed generally with the caricaturists, among whom, even in that period of forcible and unrestricted caricature, he was certainly one of the most spontaneously humorous as he was the most refined, he had, like his brother caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson, his days of grace. In those days he did, not with flawless drawing perhaps, but with a vivid feeling for beauty, some charming things, which the engravers turned to good account in colour. Among these are _Morning Employments_ by Tomkins, _The Song_ and _The Dance_ by Bartolozzi, _The Modern Graces_ by Scott, and _Black-eyed Susan_ by Dickinson.
