The printmaker monogrammed his initials H.J. in the dinghy in the lower left. The same little boat seems to be anchored in precisely the same spot in the 1955 photograph below. He obviously changed the tides. Please help me identify him. He was very precise in realistically cutting and printing the view on Lynmouth harbour standing in the corner of the pier. A tourist and a Sunday stroll view. An artists view. A photographers view. And an icecream sellers and chocolate box painters view.

in the 1950's |
Edgar James Mayberry (1887-1964) stood on this spot too:

And Kevin Walsh (born 1950!) stood here. But more recently as is suggested by this wonderful Happy Days nostalgia painting (enjoy more of his great art here).

Hi Gerrie,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for including me in your fine selection of Lynmouth imafes through the ages. I really love the first image, the woodcut print, it's beautiful!
What a remarkable fast discovery that was. By the artist himself. I did have to do my best finding out the "P.P." by the way. It took me some deep Googling finding your family name. Your paintings just had to be in there.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for letting me use them.
