James Tookey - Pointer

Pointer

Title:	Pointer
Engraver:	Tookey, James (British, fl. c. 1800 - 1830)
Designer:	Ibbetson, Julius (Yorkshire, 1759 - 1812)
Date:	1805

Note:	James Tookey (British, active 1800 - 1830): The English artist James Tookey was an accomplished engraver of animals, landscapes and portraits. Active in England during the first half of the 19th century, he engraved the plates for Church's, Cabinet of Quadrupeds, Bell's British Theatre. Speciments of his work will be found in the collecdtions of the British Museum and the National Portrait Gallery, N. Y.
	Julius Ibbetson (Yorkshire, 1759 - 1812): An accomplished landscape, marine, figure and animal painter, Ibbetson gained public recognition at the early age of seventeen. He began exhibiting at the Royal Academy as early as 1785. He continued to exhibit there until his death, gaining a reputation for being one of the greatest painters of his day.
	Pointer hails from the Cabinet of Quadrupeds, published in 1805 by Peter Jackson, Fisher & Son, St. Martin's-Le-Grand, London. Historical and Scientific descriptions were furnished by John Church, F. M. S. By far the greatest accomplishment of the publication, however, was the over one hundred engraved plates by James Tookey. The esteemed British artist, Julius Ibbetson, was commissioned to make the designs. A small number of the sets were hand-colored at the time of publication.
	The point that should thus be made is that these engravings from the Cabinet of Quadrupeds, such as Pointer strike us as being a great deal more than dry examinations of specimens of mammals. Without sacrificing any accuracy in his rendition, Ibbetson, throughout his fine backgrounds and sympathetic portrayals, has lifted these engravings into the realm of artistry. Such exceptional renditions of animals within their natural environments is exceedingly rare for this early era, and in part this explains why these engravings have been so often praised and sought after for almost two centuries.
