Passionate Customer Service Museum Quality Art Prints Customization Options AvailableThe biography of Stebbing Shaw traces a course of life which is probably to be called average. The exact day of his birth is not known, and is assumed to be in the spring of the year of his birth. His namesake father was a rector of an ecclesiastical institution and lived in a rectory in Hartshorne. Stebbing's mother bore the surname Hyatt and was a woman who had property of her own in Staffordshire, which she passed on to her son. There is no information about the closeness of family ties. Stebbing Shaw begins studying at Queens College, Cambridge, at the age of 18, graduates with a degree in art after a few years there, and goes on to further study. Stebbing ends up leaving college with the highest degree possible, a Bachelor of Divinity. The requirement for this degree is an outstanding achievement in the fields of religion and theology. Shaw becomes a member of the Church of England and takes over his father's ministry when he dies shortly before entering the 19th century.
It is likely that Stebbing Shaw took a position as a private tutor while still a student. He looked after the education of a boy in the home of a senior politician. With his protégé, Shaw undertook his first travels. He visited the western Highlands of Scotland and later the mines of Cornwall. Accompanied by a close friend from student days, Sir Egerton Brydges, he toured the counties of Derby and Leicester. Shaw concluded his first long period of travel with a visit to Sussex. The scholar retired to quiet Hartshorne and sifted through the souvenirs of his journey. At his father's rectory the idea matured of combining his collected sketches into a book. With great talent for drawing, his great general education, much diligence and even more ambition, Shaw set to work on his first book. His outstanding illustrations attracted the attention of publishers and pressmen, and are a special gem of topography.
Art scholars evaluate a topographical drawing as a descriptive work. The topographer is concerned with the depiction of localities that lend something special to the landscape. Mountains, rivers, and lakes are among them, as are structures and horticultural plants. A traditional form of landscape recording, it was refined into an appealing art form in the 18th century. The term monument became a common description of landscape features of historic value. Toward the end of the 18th century, an awareness of the value of monuments was awakening in middle-class society. Stebbing Shaw, along with Brydges, published several titles to which Shaw added his illustrations. Shaw's life revolved almost entirely around his artistic pursuits and an intense search for information. Contemporaries reported that he had lost his mind over this intense work and had completely withdrawn into the world of books and painting.
