Description
Henry Perlee Parker was born at Plymouth Dock (now Devonport), Devon on 15 March 1795. He was the son of Robert Parker, a teacher of marine and mechanical drawing to the Royal Navy, who has also been described as ‘a painter, carver and gilder’ (Wood 1978, p 356). Though he worked briefly as both a tailor and a coachman, Parker soon turned to art, painting portraits and producing drawings for his father’s pupils to copy. In about 1813, he was commissioned by C T Gilbert to illustrate his Historical Survey of the County of Cornwall (1815), and traveled with him through Cornwall in order to make preparatory drawings. Signed on canvas verso and printed on back of frame. Overall with frame 32" high x 28" high. LR
