John Redington – Portraits 1-80
Redington numbered most but not all of his portraits.
There seem to be significant gaps in the numbering sequence, but I keep finding missing portraits that fill the missing numbers.
No. 13 seems to be the first of the sequence. “Mr Palmer as Ahasuerus in the Triumph of the Jewish Queen”, which was originally a JK Green portrait, who in turn had taken it from Lazerus.
However, No.1 – No.12 form the number pattern for Redington’s Military Characters.
Then we have a gap to No. 25, which was another set of Military Characters.
I have recently found No.26 and No.27, again taken from Green, in the form of Prince Albert and Queen Victoria.
Then we have another gap to No. 38 and the Harlequinade character of “Sprite”
Thereafter, I have found around about half of the numbers between No. 43 to No. 181.
I will continue to search to explain the gaps.
