Title: A brick hovel near Lymington, Hampshire [Go to resource]
Description: An unknown building, captured by the Romantic eye of Thomas Hearne (1744-1817), a painter and engraver mainly of topographical scenes. A hovel can either be a shed used for human habitation or, more generally, a rude and miserable dwelling place. Letitia Burne (1779-1849) was the third daughter of William Byrne, a prolific engraver for whom Hearn had provided 84 drawings for his 'The Antiquities of Great Britain', published 1778-1781. All of William Byrne's five daughters were engravers and artists, who did much of the preparatory work for their father's engravings. Letitia, however, worked considerably more on her own account.
