Small farms were bought up by large investors and farmers transformed into impoverished tenant farmers or unemployed workers. The farms themselves were combined into large estates enclosed with fences and hedges. As late as the 1830s, Constable was painting a less sentimental version of this nostalgic English countryside in the years leading up to widespread starvation and rioting. https://socialhistoryofart.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=100374101 100374101 Ward, Reapers, detail, 1774, New Haven, MC https://socialhistoryofart.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=100812515 100812515 Biggm A Lady Relieving a Poor Cottager, detail, 1782, Philadelphia https://socialhistoryofart.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=180754032 180754032 Stubbs, Mrs. French's Lap Dog, 1782, Richmond https://socialhistoryofart.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=123067988 123067988 Stubbs, Mrs. French's Lap Dog, 1782, Richmond https://socialhistoryofart.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=123067989 123067989 Stubbs, Zebra, detail, New Haven Mellen Center for British Art https://socialhistoryofart.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=97810755 97810755 Stubbs, Zebra, detail, New Haven, Mellen Center https://socialhistoryofart.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=103267870 103267870 Stubbs, Tiger, Richmond Museum https://socialhistoryofart.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=122140540 122140540 Stubbs, Tiger, detail, Richmond Museum https://socialhistoryofart.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=97529987 97529987 Stubbs, Tiger, detail, Richmond Museum https://socialhistoryofart.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=122140542 122140542 Stubbs, Lion Attacking aHorse, detail, Yale https://socialhistoryofart.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=102637158 102637158 Stubbs, Lion Attacking a Horse, detail, New Haven, Yale https://socialhistoryofart.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=97810756 97810756 Stubbs, Lion Attacking Horse, New Haven, Mellen Center https://socialhistoryofart.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=103267871 103267871 Volaire, Mt.
