The Lister family of Gisburn, created Lords Ribblesdale in 1797, is an example of a family with yeoman or minor gentry status in the sixteenth century who, by the persistent purchase of land and a number of fortunate marriages, established themselves amongst the county gentry in the eighteenth century. They also acquired a share in the pocket borough of Clitheroe and served in the House of Commons continuously from 1718 to 1780. The paper describes the ways in which successive Listers fashioned the image of the family through their education, engagement in politics (where they were at the least Tories and possibly Jacobites), by their erection of a new house (Gisburne Park) in the decade after 1727 and the creation of a parkland landscape to surround it. This is explored through the surviving documentary materials (which are not exhaustive, but include reflections by Thomas Lister (d. 1745) on his political creed), by the house and landscape of the park and an abortive scheme for the park, but above all through the art they commissioned and the representations of landscape that it contains. Pictures attributed to Robert Griffier, Peter Tillemans and Arthur Devis, all formerly at Gisburne Park, and an engraving by François Vivares of Malham Cove, are discussed.

吉斯本的名单：十八世纪早期绅士家庭的形成

吉斯本的李斯特家族于 1797 年创建了里伯斯代尔勋爵，是 16 世纪拥有自耕农或小绅士地位的家庭的一个例子，他们通过持续购买土地和一些幸运的婚姻，在 16 世纪的县绅士中确立了自己的地位。十八世纪。他们还获得了克利瑟罗袖珍行政区的股份，并从 1718 年到 1780 年连续在下议院任职。本文描述了历任李斯特通过他们的教育和政治参与塑造家庭形象的方式。至少是保守党，也可能是雅各布派），他们在 1727 年之后的十年中建造了一座新房子（吉斯本公园），并在其周围创造了一个公园景观。这是通过幸存的文献资料（并非详尽无遗，但包括托马斯·利斯特（Thomas Lister，卒于 1745 年）对其政治信条的反思）、公园的房屋和景观以及公园的失败计划，但最重要的是通过他们委托的艺术和其中包含的景观表现。讨论了罗伯特·格里菲耶 (Robert Griffier)、彼得·蒂勒曼斯 (Peter Tillemans) 和亚瑟·德维斯 (Arthur Devis) 的作品，他们都曾在吉斯本公园 (Gisburne Park) 创作，并讨论了 Malham Cove 的弗朗索瓦·维瓦雷斯 (François Vivares) 的版画。
