The scenes on the present lot are derived
from the work of the painter Thomas
Stothard RA (1755-1834), engraved by
Charles Parsons Knight (1743-1827) and
also by Francesco Bartolozzi RA (1727-
1815) and by Peltro W Tomkins (1760-1840).
The first versions were by Knight circa 1788-
1789.

See a teapot with the Bartolozzi print of
‘the Marble players’, c.1795, illustrated
by D.Howard, and J.Ayers, China For The
West, London, 1978, p.290, no.287 and
no.288, a saucer, circa 1800, with the two
children going to school. See also a small
