The Civil War, a famous deathbed and gentle genre scenes run through these engravings after L. Hicks, published between 1847 and about 1856. Thomas Fairfax appears on his own and in a Civil War encounter with a countess, while another plate shows the Duke of Wellington on his deathbed at Walmer Castle. One Fairfax plate credits Hicks with the painting and Payne with the engraving, linking the designs to Tallis’s illustrated History of England. Quieter subjects, a pilgrim receiving refreshment and an evening domestic scene, show the sentimental side of his work.
