Bolton Abbey in Olden Time
Not on view
This medieval tableau is set by the priory gatehouse at Bolton Abbey, West Riding, Yorkshire and shows an Augustinian abbot and monk receiving tribute of game. A forrester with two dogs kneels beside a dead stag, swan, duck, grouse and partridge as a falconer's assistant carries a dead heron and bittern and a fisherman's daughter brings trout. The print is based on a painting completed by 1834 now at Chatsworth House, Devonshire.
