From the series Sketches in North Devon; a set of eight lithographs after Edward Vivian. Day & Son was one of the largest and most prominent lithographic firms of the nineteenth century. Established in 1823 by William Day at 59 Great Queen Street, the firm later moved to 17 Gate Street. From c.1830 the company was often referred to as Day & Haghe, due to the popularity of the work of Louis Haghe. The firm was granted the status of 'Lithographers to Queen Victoria and to the Queen Dowager, Queen Adelaide' in 1837. The company became known as Day & Son in 1845 when William Day Senior died, leaving the business to his son William Day Junior. . Edward Vivian (1808–1893) was the joint proprietor of the Torquay Bank, a hotelier, magistrate, writer, public speaker, member of the Local Board and editor of the Torquay Directory. Together with William Pengelly, Vivian played a leading role in the exploration of Kent's Cavern. He was also a founder member and first treasurer of the Torquay Natural History Society.
