[BARENGER, James (1780-1831), artist, and T. SUTHERLAND (c. 1785 – c. 1825), engraver]
[New Invented Borders for Rooms...Representing Field Sports in Great Variety. London: C. Random D. B., 1809-10].
Dynamic suite of plates presenting proposed designs for the decoration of room borders, of a sporting theme. James Barenger was the son of James Barenger (1745-1813), who exhibited a number of pictures of insects at the Royal Academy, and the nephew of William Woollett, the engraver. Barenger exhibited hunting scenes, and pictures of horses, dogs, cattle and game birds at the Royal Academy between 1807 and 1831. His patrons included the Duke of Grafton, the Marquess of Londonderry and the Earl of Derby. The present work is a series of prints depicting hunting, shooting, coursing and racing. The plates were intended as design templates for the decoration of a country house or sporting estate. Bobins III, 1176; Mellon/Snellgrove, p.43; Siltzer, p.79.

Contemporary brown mottled wrappers (sometime re-backed with matching paper and roan back strip, extremities rubbed and creases to covers); housed in modern tan cloth box with burgundy morocco label lettered in gilt.
