Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from John Downman, His Life and Works A considerable amount of mystery surrounds the name of John Downman. Very little indeed appears to be known respecting his career, and still less of the details of his early life. A few recollections have been handed down to some of his immediate descendants, but they are more or less of a legendary character, and relate only to three episodes in his life: one when he was a boy, one at the time of middle age, and the third when he was in prosperous circumstances and getting well on in life. Around these three stories we shall have to group such information as we possess, hoping that perhaps the issue of this little book may lead to the discovery of still further details concerning the artist. At the outset one old tradition has to be demolished, that which calls Downman a Devonshire man. He certainly came from the stock of a Devonshire family, one which had rooted itself very deeply in that county, and had branches of more or less importance in many towns; but the artist sprang from a cadet branch, and all the evidence which the author has been able to acquire points to John Downman having been born at Ruabon. Even here, however, the mystery cannot be entirely cleared away. The most diligent research has not resulted in the discovery of any entry of the birth of John Downman in the registers of that town. They are not very complete for the period about 1750, but still it was hoped that close investigation would have revealed the missing date.
