"Drawing room, Aston Hall, Warwickshire": lithograph with bodycolor (8½" x 12½") in old mahogany frame. Signed and dated ("1850") en bloc bottom center. In the early part of his career, Nash concentrated on illustrative work and genre scenes, as well as picturesque architectural subjects. His success was largely due to the large sets of lithographs which he published that were of high standard and that combined architectural fidelity with historical romanticism. Today his lithographs, usually brushed generously with bodycolor and frequently misidentified as watercolors, are considered to be excellent early examples of the art and are eagerly collected. Note: other similar lithographs by Nash, attractively framed, are also available (see pictures # 3-5). Listed: Ben; Dav; Ma.
