Edward William Cooke, RA, British 1811-1880- Barney Grove, Redleaf; pencil on paper, inscribed 'In Barnet Grove. Redleaf.' (lower right), 16.5 x 11.9 cm. Provenance: Sir Bruce Ingham and by descent to the present owner. Private Collection, UK. Note: Edward William Cooke was born into an artistic family, the son of the engraver George Cooke (1781-1834), and was undoubtedly influenced by the approach of his father's friends, including figures such as Clarkson Frederick Stanfield (1793-1867) and David Roberts (1796-1864), and by James Stark (1794-1859) under whom he studied. He was a talented child artist and by the age of nine was already executing wood engravings of plants for publication. He was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1851 and a full member in 1864. The other great interests in his life were botany and geology, and he was elected a Fellow of the Linnaean Society in 1857, Fellow of the Geological Society in 1862 and Fellow of the Royal Society (an unusual accolade for a painter) in 1863.
