Est: $2,500 - $3,500
Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait (1819 - 1905) Oil on Rounded Cavas, Signed, Measures ( 9 x 12 inches ) w/frame ( 15 x 18 inches ) Born in Liverpool, England, Arthur Tait became America's first important sporting artist. In England, he trained as a lithographer for Agnews, an art dealer in Manchester, and taught himself to paint by copying works at the Royal Institute. He also assisted American Indian painter George Catlin, with his traveling Indian gallery that he had brought to England, and Tait was impressed with Catlin's subject matter and skill. In 1850, Tait came to America to pursue his interest in wildlife and hunting, sports that were closed to the public in aristocratic England. He worked primarily from a studio in New York City and never got west of Chicago. Becoming a skilled woodsman and marksman, he acquired excellent first-hand knowledge that he brought to his paintings. As a result, his realistic genre hunting scenes, with their story-telling aspects, made him one of the 19th century's most popular painters.

Tait - Lot of 6 Lithographs of Rail Roads
Est: $500 - $1,000
This originally hand-colored lithograph is from Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait's Views on the Manchester and Leeds Railway. The lithographs were drawn from nature and on stone and published in Liverpool by Tait circa 1845. The images feature the landscape and scenery surrounding one of the earliest rail road lines in the United Kingdom. Arthur Tait began working as an art dealer by the age of twelve. He was a largely self-taught artist and lithographer, though he did receive some training at Royal Machester. The work he created here was sparked by the strong public interest in railroads at the time. He emigrated to the United States in 1850 and received further notoriety for his work presented by Currier & Ives, becoming one of the great American animal and sporting painters of that period. "The Manchester and Leeds Railway was first proposed in 1830 along a line surveyed by George Stephenson and James Walker. The 1831 bill was opposed by the canal company, but an act was obtained in 1836. the line was opened as far as Littleborough in 1839, and through to Leeds in 1841. The line was noted for its gentle gradients and its long sweeping curves. In 1847 the company became the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway."
