Printing plate depicting part of the East window with Lazarus rising from the tomb, from Selby Abbey Church; with copper plate maker's stamp on reverse.
This copper plate was commissioned by Barnard Clarkson (1748–1826), a banker from Selby, who intended to publish a History of Selby. He commissioned eight prints to Fowler, reproducing details from the East window at Abbey Church and a plate with the tombstone of Lord Barwick. After Clarkson's death, Edward Parker (1786–1865) obtained the few copies of the above prints that had been struck off.
Impressions from this plate were published on the 5th of April 1824 in a "Second Appendix to the Former Collection of Engravings" dedicated to John, Earl of Brownlow (1779–1853). The appendix contained twenty-six prints, and impressions could be purchased from William Fowler (Winterton, near Brigg), Mr W. Clarke (no. 38, New Bond Street, London), and Messers Manners & Miller (Edinburgh).
This etching is included in the Earl of Crawford's third volume of Fowler's prints, which contained prints reproducing stained glass.
Digitised thanks to the kind donation of Dr Richard Goddard FSA.
