Description: | This pencil study is for a tail-piece engraving in Bewick's autobiography 'A Memoir' which was published in 1862. Jane Bewick wrote in the preface to the book that this was 'A view of Cherryburn, with Mickley Bank in the distance, and a funeral procession descending the sloping pasture towards the boat, waiting to convey it across the Tyne to the last resting place of the family at Ovingham.' It appears, from the date attached to it, to be the last vignette ever made by Thomas Bewick. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1828 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Thomas Bewick | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/discoveringb... | Go to resource |
