Note
This record contains unverified data from old cards and may contain incorrect or incomplete text. Please consult Curator for assistance.
Title taken from pencil note on back of drawing. Item illustrates a barren heath. A faint penciled grid can be seen on the surface of the drawing. The front is unsigned, the back has the notation '1836 A.D. Martin', probably added by the grangerizer.
Artist: Cataloger found no listing of an A.D Martin, though artist may be Ambrose Martin who is noted by Wood to have flourished 1830-1844. He was a landscape painter in oil and watercolor, a member of NWS and exhibited RA 1840-1844. The subject matter and dates on Ambrose Martin fit the description of this item, however no conclusive evidence has been found.
History: The penciled grid over the surface may indicate that the drawing was copied from an engraving or used as a design for an engraving, the grid having been used to copy the drawing with the proper dimensions.
Subject: Drawing is being used by the grangerizer to illustrate Act IV, Sc. 1 of Macbeth, in which Macbeth meets the weird sisters. According to the 1882 Ordinance gazateer of Scotland, Hardmuir is a little west south west of Brodie Station in north west Morayshire and is 'celebrated as the 'blasted heath', now planted, wheron Macbeth met the weird sisters of Forres'. The Gazateer mentions Hardmuir under the entry for Dyke. In the Gazateer of the British Isles Hardmuir is noted as Hardmuir Wood, a plantation that was formerly a heath.
Provenance: Item is tipped in after p.42 in volume 8 of an extra-illustrated copy of Knight's Pictorial edition of Shakespeare. For further provenance and volume information see the card for 'Anonymous. True Loveknot.'
