520 2 # $a 'Ephraim Hardcastle' was the painter,William Henry Pyne. Pyne had developed a facility for drawing as a youth, and between 1790 and 1815 had exhibited with the Royal Academy and with the Society of Painters in Water Colours. He had also contributed text to Ackermann's 'Microcosm of London' and published several works on the technique of painting, before bringing out in 1816 what is probably his best-known work, 'The History of the Royal Residences'. He took the name 'Ephraim Hardcastle' when he turned to art criticism, and under this name supplied a series of anecdotes to the 'Literary Gazette', here collected as 'Wine And Walnuts'.

Afterwards Pyne continued to paint and to contribute articles to the journals - but did not escape some spells in the debtors'-prison.
