Eileen had her first exhibition at the Print Makers Society of
California in Los Angeles. Four of her prints were hung and two of
these were later hung in The Royal Academy in London making her the
youngest artist ever to exhibit her work there. She continued to
produce around 180 etchings mostly of children at play into the
early 1930s. Queen Mary bought two of her etchings, among them
'Flying Swings'in 1924. Her work was popular and well received and

Charles Mayes Wigg Barton Broad, Norfolk Barges
Charles Mayes Wigg, born at Nottingham, England on 13 January 1889 and
died at Eastbourne on 2 March 1969, was an English artist. Grew up at
Watton and Cromer in Norfolk and was educated at Gresham's School. In
1911, he arrived at the Norwich School of Art and later studied with
Frank Spenlove-Spenlove at his Yellow Door School of Art in Beckenham,
Kent.During the First World War, Wigg served with the British Army and
saw active service at Gaza. In 1916, he was invalided out of the army
with severe leg injuries, and was left with a disability for the rest of
his life.Returning to his career as an artist and illustrator, he
subsequently found life afloat easier than life on land and for many
years lived and painted in a house- boat on the Norfolk Broads. He also
had studios at The Thatched House, Brundall, his parents' home, and at
Rose Cottage, Barton Turf. In 1952, Wigg married his mother's nurse, but
this was disastrous for his artistic career. His new wife prevented him
from painting, breaking his brushes and burning his paintings leaving a
small collection of work surviving. Framed, Glazed £185 inc

Alphonse Legros (1837 - 1911)
Alphonse Legros was born in France but moved to England in 1863 on the
advice of his friend, Whistler. He became a citizen in 1881, but never
completely grasped the English language.A master etcher of figure
subjects, portraits and landscapes, Legros assumed the head
professorship of etching and engraving at the Royal College in South
Kensington in 1875. He later became the professor of art at the Slade
School of Art, London. He was one of the group of artists who proposed
the idea of the Société des Aquafortistes to the French publisher Cadart
in 1862 and was a founder member of the Society of Painter-Etchers in
London in 1880. From this position he fashioned a standard and
influenced many younger British artists, most notably William Strang,
Charles Furse and Charles Holroyd. In total Legros's graphic oeuvre runs
to 704 etchings. Most of Legros's figure subjects were inspired by the
artist's early impressions of French peasant life. Influences upon his
art in this area have been traced to the paintings and drawings of
Gustave Courbet and the art of Goya and the Spanish School.
North End of Telegraph Hill, San Francisco, by John W. Winkler ,
(Austria, 1890 - San Francisco, 1979) Etching, signed in pencil to lower
margin, also signed and dated 1918 in the image , £425 inc plate size
approx. 242 x 180 mm (9.5 x 7 ins) framed and glazed . In original frame
clean and perfect One of the finest American etchers of the early
twentieth century, J. W. Winkler was born in Austria settling in
California early in life. Winkler studied under Frank van Sloun at the
California Institute of Arts and published his first original etching in
1915. During the following eight years he established a large national
reputation for his etchings, the great majority being depictions of San
Francisco and its environs. By 1923 he had created 88 etchings, which
were often compared to the work of Whistler, particularly the Whistler
etchings found in the 'French Set' and 'Thames Set'. Like Whistler, John
W. Winkler had the ability to capture life and movement with the utmost
simplicity. One Winkler scholar wrote, "His technique is so eminently
suited to all that he wished to express that it has been little modified
during these ten years past. He makes no preparatory designs, sketches
or tracings; his impatient nature at no time permits of his delaying
from attacking the copper once he has found the motive of the
composition. All his plates have been etched directly from nature, after
long search and careful observation, in the bustle of the streets or
amid the coming and going of the passers-by." In 1923, John Winkler
moved to Paris and resided in that city until 1930. During this time the
artist produced etchings of Paris streets and its occupants as well as
landscape views of Normandy and other provinces. Ferme, Normandie (Farm,
Normandy) was commissioned by the Paris art journal, Gazette des
Beaux-Arts, in 1924. It is a fine example of Winkler's masterful use of
line and space. Returning to the United States, John Winkler became a
full member of the Chicago Society of Etchers, the Brooklyn Society of
Etchers and the American Society of Illustrators. In 1936 he was
admitted into the prestigious National Academy of Design.

Etching in colours signed in pencil by Henry G walker matt burn from old

1876 in the Birchfield area of Birmingham, where his father was in the
coal trade. From 1897-1901 he attended the well-known Birmingham
Municipal School of Art, now part of the University of Central England.
He may have designed jewellery for a time after finishing his training
there. By 1907 he was working as a freelance designer and commercial
line artist from his own studio in his Birchfield home. The patriotic
Bulldog in a naval cap probably represents one of his commercial
commissions during the First World War, though it was used again at the
beginning of the Second, several years after his death. A.ctive as an
etcher from around 1921, when he first exhibited at the Royal Birmingham
Society. To make a living, he concentrated on popular architectural and
topographical plates in various combinations of soft-ground etching,
dry-point, and aquatint, both coloured and monochrome. He moved to
Babbacombe in Devon in 1929, and set up studio., the venture was cut
short by his early death in 1932. £135 post inc in original frame/mounts

Henry Wilkinson , born 1921. An engraver very often of sporting
subjects. Born in Bath in Somerset, his Father having been taught to
paint by John Ruskin, eventually became the Headmaster of Winchester
College of Art. It was whilst living in Winchester that the young
Wilkinson learned the first skills of Gun Making, climbing out of the
scullery window in the evenings to work, unknown to his farther, at the
famous gunmakers 'Hamond of Winchester'. It was at Hammonds that he
first became fascinated by engraving, learning from the craftsmen who
decorated the metalwork on the hand-made firearms. Today Henry Wilkinson
is one of the last remaining qualified Muzzle Loading' gun maker in the
country Following his early studies at Winchester College of Art,
entrance was gained to the Royal College of Art in the Painting School.
By hard work a place was also gained in the Engraving School, under
Robert Austin R.A. and Malcolm Osborne MA. MBE, where he won the Royal
British Institute Scholarship in Engraving. This gave him extra time at
the college and enabled him to gain a traveling scholarship, as well as
the diplomas. Study in Heidelberg, France and Italy followed. After the
War he was elected to the Royal Society of Painters, Etchers &
Engravers, ultimately as a counselor. For many years he was professor of
the Engraving School at the City and Guilds of London, a consultant to
the Morris Singer Bronze Founders and a council member of the Royal
Society of Painter Etchers. These appointments he has now relinquished.
While a student at the Royal College of Art Wilkinson was introduced to
Harold Dickins by Sir Walter Lamb secretary to the R.A.. Dickins then
introduced Wilkinson to George Vernon Stokes the famous canine artist
and engraver, Wilkinson then helped Stokes print his editions until his
death in 1954. It was only then that Wilkinson began to produce his
original drypoints of Dogs and other Sporting Subjects. From
origination, to hand engraving his metal plates and eventually printing
and finishing the editions, the work is entirely his own. He even
produces his own printing inks. Etchings . 110 x 100mm £195 each post

Cyril Henry BARRAUD (1877-1940) £260 Windmill titled as to location but
I cannot decipher it ! Canadian/British etcher Born in Barnes, England,
in 1877, Barraud studied art and then worked as a commercial
illustrator. His commercial work experience provided him with a clear
understanding of design and composition, important factors that are
apparent in his later work. In 1913, Barraud emigrated to Canada and in
May 1915 enlisted in the Winnipeg Grenadiers. He went overseas in August
that year with the 43rd Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force.He
was with the battalion when it left for France in late February 1916.
Eight months later he was wounded in the left leg, but recovered in time
to return to France a few weeks before Christmas. The Canadian War
Memorials Fund (CWMF) appointed him an official war artist on Nov. 1,
1917. Long before his appointment, Barraud was busy sketching scenes
along the front. Some of these works are the only depictions we have of
the beautiful architecture that existed prior to the destructive forces
of war. The artist filled seven sketchbooks, completing more than 300
images. Many of the paintings and etchings he created for the CWMF were
constructed from these drawings.The inevitable destruction of these
locations is as carefully rendered as the original idylic settings. The
colours of mud and rubble have crept into much of this work, and add to
its elegance. His etchings are printed in browns, greys and sepias. Even
his paintings have a subdued palette. Barraud retired from service at
the end of August 1919. He died in England in 1965,
