The Deputy Ranger's Lodge c. 1770-80
-
A pencil, pen and ink and watercolour drawing of the Deputy Ranger's Lodge [now Royal Lodge], seen between trees in the foreground. A horse-drawn carriage on the road, centre right.
Paul Sandby made hundreds of drawings of Windsor Castle and the surrounding area throughout his career. In 1765 his brother Thomas was appointed Deputy Ranger of Windsor Great Park, and took up residence in the Deputy Ranger's House in about 1770. This drawing, which has the appearance of having been made on the spot, shows the house from the road through the trees. Paul Sandby regularly visited his brother and his family at Windsor, especially after 1782, when Paul's son Thomas Paul married his cousin, Thomas's daughter Harriot. Other watercolours of the house and gardens include RCINs 917555 and 917556, and three more finished watercolours 917684, 917597 and 917596.
