The card consists of two similar images that depict a Palladian inspired house at a distance from a tree lined foreground. The captions of one image is "Palladian" referring to the house and of the other "Picturesque" to the more complex landscape. Wikipedia 2011: Thomas Hearne (1744 "“ 13 April 1817) was an English landscape painter, engraver and illustrator. Hearne was born at Brinkworth near Malmesbury in Wiltshire. He came in his teens to London, and had to work as a pastry cook, but in 1763 was awarded a premium by the Society of Arts. In 1765 he was apprenticed to Liam Woollett, the engraver, with whom he stayed for six years. In 1771 he travelled to the Leeward Islands with the newly-appointed Governor-General, Sir Ralph Payne. He remained there for three-and-a-half years, making drawings of the characteristic features of the islands. This work also employed him for two years after his return to London in 1775, and turned the direction of his art from engraving to watercolour painting. In 1777, in conjunction with engraver William Byrne (1743"“1805), he commenced the most important undertaking of his life, 'The Antiquities of Great Britain'. 52 of his drawings appeared in the first volume between 1778 and 1786, then another 32 plates were published in a second volume in 1796. Many of the drawings were exhibited at the gallery in Spring Gardens, London. During the extensive tour throughout Britain which the work necessitated, Hearne studied nature with care, investing his topographical drawings with effects of light and atmosphere seldom attempted by previous draughtsmen in watercolour. He may thus be said to have done much to revive attention to Gothic architecture, and to have been one of the founders of the English school of water-colours. Hearne's art influenced Thomas Girtin and J M W Turner, both of whom copied his drawings at the houses of Dr. Thomas Monro and John Henderson Snr., the well-known patrons of the arts at the time. From 1781 to 1802 Hearne exhibited drawings of landscape and antiquarian remains at the Royal Academy, London. He was a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. Hearne died in Macclesfield Street, Soho, London on 13 April 1817, and was buried at Bushey, Hertfordshire. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
