The Vale of Usk.

Original antique aquatint / engraving by T. Sutherland from the painting by D. Cox. Published in 1822. Image Size 26 x 17cm. plus margins in a wash lined mount £80 inc delivery Info 29th April 1783 - Died: Friday 7th June 1859 David Cox, the son of a whitesmith, was born in a small rural cottage near the parish church of St. Martin, Birmingham. His Mother apprenticed David to a brooch and locket painter. He adorned these small items of jewellery with miniature designs. He moved to London in 1803, where he was first employed as a scene painter at the Astley's Theatre. This was merely a temporary post that he held until he moved into private life. He made a slender income by teaching drawing, mainly at schools. He also made sketches which he sold through Mr. Palser of Westminster road (later at the Strand). He received only a few shillings for these sketches (which in 1859 were worth at least an equal amount in pounds), and although they were inexpensive, they still sold slowly. His first visit to Wales was in 1805 and he continued to visit this, his favoured sketching ground, almost every year until 1856, (3 years before he died). Some of the illustrations produced on these excursions were included in Roscoe's "North Wales" - c.1834. Cox moved to Hereford in 1815 (Probably because of the surrounding scenery), and returned to London in 1827. He retired to Harbourne Heath (near Birmingham), in 1844 where he remained until he died.
