  • Harry Arthur Riley (1895 - 1966)

    Barmouth, North Wales, for Mountain, Sand & Sea

      Original vintage poster 100 x 60 cm Riley's vintage poster extols the virtues of visiting sunny Barmouth - the scene depicts dozens of attractively (if perhaps unrealistically) tanned holidaymakers, a bright blue sea, and a pretty coastal town. The poster was part of a series produced for British Railways, designed to encourage rail travel to beauty spots across Britain. Principally known as a commercial artist, Harry Riley RI’s iconic poster designs of the 1920s - 1960s and his bright, joyful and idyllic depictions of British seaside holiday destinations, such as Morecambe, Plymouth, Weston-Super-Mare and Ilfracombe, were used to advertise the British rail network and have come to define Post-War British leisure and travel. He was also known for this work with airliners such as BOAC and Qantas. Although not an easily identifiable name within the echelons of the mid-20th century commercial art scene, Riley’s works pay testament to a highly skilled and prolific artist whose visual style fittingly captures the idealistic and amber-tinted vision of early 1960s glamour that the era’s commercial and travel sectors strove to embody. Harry Riley studied at St Martin's School of Art and was soon commissioned to produce commercial art and poster designs for companies such as Selfridges and Fortnum & Mason. He became a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour and worked as a cartoonist for the Daily Mail, later becoming President of the London Sketch Club. The bright and bold style of his art for British Railways has become instantly recognisable today and is an illustration of travel, leisure, and idealism in post-war Britain. Condition: colours good.

  • Walter Hoyle (1922 - 2000)

    King's College Chapel, Cambridge (Cambridge Series 1956 - 66)

      Linocut 72 x 41 cm Signed and inscribed A/P in pencil. Hoyle depicts King's College Chapel as both indomitable and delicate. The bold composition sees the chapel's spires surrounded by a fiery orange light against the black night of the background; at the same time, the western facade looks like it could have been cut from paper, or crafted from lace. Hoyle trained at Beckenham School of Art and the Royal College of Art. At the latter he was strongly influenced by Edward Bawden, one of Britain’s greatest linocut printers. Bawden had been commissioned by the 1951 Festival of Britain to produce a mural for the South Bank, and chose Hoyle to assist on account of his great talent. Hoyle moved to Great Bardfield in Essex, becoming a part of the Great Bardfield group of artists; diverse in style, they created figurative work, in stark contrast to the abstract art of the St Ives artists at the opposite end of the country. Hoyle taught at St Martin’s School of Art from 1951-60, the Central School of Arts and Crafts from 1960-64, and the Cambridge School of Art from 1964-1985, during which time he launched Cambridge Print Editions. His work is held in the collections of the Tate Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum, The British Museum, Kettle’s Garden and the Fry Art Gallery. Provenance: family of the artist.

  • Bernard Myers (1925 - 2007)

    Chiswick Reach

      Oil on paper 50 x 72 cm Myers' impressionist view of Chiswick Reach (likely painted from his studio, which overlooked the Thames) depicts a hazy morning mist making its way down the river. The artist's sparse and muted palette renders the sky barely discernible from the water; chevron brushstrokes make up trees which cast their shadows over the Thames. A flotilla of boats, ghost-like with their white sails, appear from the blue mist. Bernard Myers was a painter and printmaker who trained at St Martin’s School of Art, the Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts, and the Royal College of Art in the 1940s and 1950s. This painting won the David Murray Landscape Scholarship and was painted while Myers was a student at the RCA. He went on to teach there before moving into a studio in Hammersmith. He lived and painted at 5 Durham Wharf, just off Chiswick Mall and with a view of the Thames, from the 1980s until his death in 2007. Provenance: New Grafton Gallery. Condition: excellent.

  • after Michael Angelo Rooker (1743/6 - 1801)

    North West view of Friar Bacon's Study, and Folly Bridge

      Engraving 30 x 45 cm Friar Bacon's Study was built as a watchtower in the thirteenth century. The name is 'merely traditional, and not in any Record to be found', according to the 1773 text 'The Antient and Present State of the City of Oxford'; it is said to have been used by the Franciscan Friar Roger Bacon as an astronomical observatory. For hundreds of years after Friar Bacon's use of it, the tower was a notable landmark in Oxford, and Samuel Pepys visited it in 1668: 'So to Friar Bacon's study: I up and saw it, and gave the man a shilling. Oxford mighty fine place.' The Study was often considered a folly, and the bridge is now known as Folly Bridge. Rooker painted the tower in 1780 - around the same time as the tower was demolished - and James Basire produced an engraving of his painting in 1787, to be used as the frontispiece for the Oxford Almanack. The Oxford Almanack was an annual almanack published by the Oxford University Press for the University of Oxford from 1674 through 2019 (when printing sadly ceased due to "dwindling interest"). The almanack traditionally included engravings or lithographs of the University and information about the upcoming year. Other almanack artists have included Michael Burghers, J. M. W. Turner, and John Piper. Basire and Dayes collaborated on several views of Oxford during the courses of their careers. Michael Angelo Rooker ARA was an English oil and watercolour painter of architecture and landscapes, illustrator, and engraver. Rooker's original painting currently hangs in Worcester College. Condition: good; in handsome (worn) antique Hogarth frame. If you are interested, please email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056.

Joseph Constantine Stadler was a prolific German émigré engraver of images after his contemporaries. Stadler's engravings are wide-ranging in subject matter and include landscapes, seascapes and portraits, as well as military, sporting and decorative subjects. Stadler was employed by the leading print publisher of the time, John Boydell. Stadler lived in Knightsbridge when he died at the age of 73.

  • Edwin La Dell (1914-1970)

    The High, Oxford

      Lithograph 49 x 64 cm Signed, titled, and number 28/80 in pencil. A beautiful depiction of the golden Headington stone of Queen's College on the High Street, Oxford. The cupola above the college's entrance, and, in the background, the shadowy spire of the University Church of St Mary the Virgin, rise into the blustery sky. La Dell studied at the Sheffield School of Art, where he won a scholarship to the Royal College of Art. From 1934 to 1940 John Nash was the head of printmaking there, and taught La Dell. La Dell himself became head of lithography there in 1948, and remained in post until his death. During the war La Dell was an official war artist and a camofleur, but he is probably best known for his lithographs of Oxford and Cambridge that he published himself. His works are widely held in the public collections, including the Royal Academy and the Government Art Collection, the latter of which holds many of his views of Cambridge. Condition: very good.

  • Angela Stones (1914 - 1995)

    Still Life with Pink Roses

      Oil on board 47 x 37 cm A beautiful still life which moves between pink and green: pink roses and bowl, and green leaves, apples, and plate. Stones' impasto technique brings texture to the fruit and petals, and the blues and browns of the background highlight the brilliance of the roses. Stones was educated at the Chelsea School of Art, and was a member of an artistic dynasty. Her mother Dorothy Bradshaw (1893 - 1983) studied under Jack Merriott – the artist famous for his British Rail posters, and her son, Christopher Assheton-Stones (1947 - 1999), was arguably the foremost pastel artist of his time.

  • John Hoyland (1934 - 2011)

    Yellows (1969)

      Screenprint 56 x 94 cm

    Artist’s proof. Signed and dated lower right.

    Hoyland's abstract print is made up of wide fields of colour, formally arranged. Paul Moorhouse wrote of the artist's ‘insistence on eliminating figurative references’, and here we have an entirely abstract composition - one which has no desire to depict anything figurative, anything tangible. The colours are vivid, with the ‘restrictive palette in which red-green oppositions are dominant’ which marks Hoyland's early work is cautiously evident here. The abstraction is deliberately imperfect: small yellow splashes break into the expanse of green, and the texture of that green overtly demonstrates its texture and madeness. Hoyland's prints are keen to remind us of the physical process of their making, relying on the tension between the formal and the informal to do so. John Hoyland was one of Britain's most revered post-war abstract artists. He was born in Sheffield and studied at the Sheffield School of Art and Crafts, and then Sheffield College of Art and the Royal Academy Schools in London. His first solo exhibition was held at the Marlborough New London Gallery in 1964. Retrospectives of his paintings have been held at the Serpentine Gallery (1979), the Royal Academy (1999) and Tate St Ives (2006). Hoyland was elected to the Royal Academy in 1991 and was appointed Professor of Painting at the Royal Academy Schools in 1999. Condition: very good; recent heavy handsome frame. Glass will be removed for international shipping. If you are interested, please email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056. Click here for other Modern British Print.
  • Lady Margaret Myddleton (1910 - 2003)

    Harbour at Menton

      Oil on canvas 32 x 45 cm Signed lower left, and titled on label to reverse. Myddleton's sunny view of this fashionable Cote d'Azur port sees two sailing boats make their way into the harbour, as three onlookers watch from the pier. Behind them rise the town's sun-drenched buildings, including the basilica of Saint-Michel-Archange, and the purple of the French Alps. Lady Margaret Myddleton was an accomplished painter, painting interiors, country houses, and landscapes (both home and abroad). This was likely painted while Lady Myddleton was holidaying on the French Riviera. Most of her watercolours are on display in Chirk Castle, Wrexham, the family seat of the Myddleton family since 1593 (although the castle's ownership was transferred to the National Trust in 1981). Lady Myddelton was the chatelaine of the castle for thirty years, and died there in 2003.

  • John Le Keux (1783 - 1846) after Frederick Mackenzie (1788 - 1854)

    Sidney College from the Master's Garden (1845)

      Hand-coloured engraving 12 x 15 cm Published by Rudolph Ackermann (1764 - 1834). An engraving of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge. The College was founded in 1596 under the terms of the will of Frances Sidney, Countess of Sussex, wife of Thomas Radclyffe, 3rd Earl of Sussex, and named after its foundress. Frederick Mackenzie (circa 1788 - 1854) was a British watercolourist and architectural draughtsman. He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1804, and contributed eleven drawings between that year and 1828. He contributed to the Society of Painters in Water Colours exhibitions from 1813, becoming an associate in 1822, and a full member the following year. From 30 November 1831 until, his death he was treasurer to the society. In later life Mackenzie was no longer commissioned to illustrate books. John Le Keux was a British engraver. When working as an apprentice to his father, a pewter manufacturer, he began engraving pewter, and trained as an engraver. He was then apprenticed to the noted engraver James Basire, and went on to produce engravings for the architectural publications of John Britton, Augustus Welby Pugin, John Preston Neale, and others. He produced various engravings of Oxford and Cambridge colleges. Rudolph Ackermann was an Anglo-German bookseller, inventor, lithographer, publisher and businessman. In 1795 he established a print-shop and drawing-school at 96 Strand. Here Ackermann set up a lithographic press and began a trade in prints. He later began to manufacture colours and thick carton paper for landscape and miniature painters. Within three years the premises had become too small and he moved to 101 Strand, in his own words "four doors nearer to Somerset House", the seat of the Royal Academy of Arts. Between 1797 and 1800 Ackermann rapidly developed his print and book publishing business, encompassing many different genres including topography, caricature, portraits, transparencies and decorative prints. Condition: good; a couple of spots and some age toning. If you are interested, please email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056. Click here for other views of Sidney Sussex.
  • after Maurice Utrillo (1883 - 1955)

    France: La Cathédrale de Reims

    Original vintage poster 100 x 62 cm Commissioned by the Ministère des Travaux Publics et des Transports and the Commissariat général au Tourisme. Printed in France, by and for the French Government. Printed by Braun & Cie, Mulhouse-Paris. This poster, featuring a Utrillo painting of Reims Cathedral, was printed by the French tourist board to encourage holidays to France. Utrillo's depiction of Reims is highly post-impressionist, with thick layers of impasto and an inventive colour palette. Maurice Utrillo was a French painter who specialised in post-impressionist cityscapes, particularly of Montmartre, where he lived. His mother was Suzanne Valadon, an artist's model who sat for several French painters, including Renoir. Utrillo's father is unknown, though the painter Miquel Utrillo acknowledged him as his own some years after his birth. Valedon became a painter herself after several years of modelling, and was mentored by Degas. She encouraged her son to become a painter, and he received positive critical attention in the 1910s, followed by international popularity in the following decade. He was awarded the Cross of the Légion d'Honneur in 1928 and is today known for his poetic depictions of Paris, especially Montmartre. He is buried there, in the Cimetière Saint-Vincent, having suffered from mental illness and alcoholism for most of his life. Condition: generally very good; a few tiny repaired edge tears.

    Shaw Savill Lines - Dominion Monarch

      Original vintage poster 103 x 64 cm McDowell's poster advertises the magnitude and majesty of the Dominion Monarch, which dwarfs other boats and sails boldly forwards. Dominion Monarch was a UK passenger and refrigerated cargo liner.

  • Edmund J Thring (1906 - 1985)

    Design for St Nicholas House, High Street, Bristol

      Gouache 46 x 54 cm Signed lower left and inscribed 'Alec F French & Partners, Architects, Bristol' (home to the Commercial Union Group and remodelled in 1959 by Alec French and partners). An architectural drawing of St Nicholas House, a 1930s Art Deco building on the corner of St Nicholas Street and High Street in the heart of Bristol. It was originally built as a banking headquarters, and is recognisable for its curved facade. Today St Nicholas House is a co-working space owned by The Office Group; the interiors have been remodelled in an Art Deco-inspired style, in honour of the building's architectural origins. Edmund J Thring was an architectural perspectivist who produced over 2,500 perspectives in his lifetime. He spent much of the Second WorId War in the Photographic Reconnaissance Interpretation Unit at RAF Nuneham Park, interpreting aerial photographs and making models. In 'A History of Architectural Model Making in Britain', David Lund notes that Thring was the chief instructor for the hundred or so recruits in the model-making department. He was described as ‘a sweetly patient man with a merciless eye and inflexible standards of quality’ who pushed his recruits hard. The team made over four hundred models for the D-Day invasion, and a thousand further models over the rest of the war. Pilots bombing German warships in Norwegian fjords found maps almost useless, so carried cardboard models of the topography in their cockpits. Thring also served with the Observer Corps, scanning the English Channel from the Sussex coast. Following the war, he began taking commissions for architectural perspectives (there were plenty of these available on account of the extensive postwar rebuilding works). We are grateful to the artist’s daughter for providing this information. Condition: generally very good, mounted to board, old time-staining to very margins under mount area.

  • Crest Mill, Castleton, Rochdale, Lancashire (1906)

      Watercolour 56 x 96 cm Crest Mill in Castleton, Rochdale, was built in 1906. It was designed by Sir Philip Sidney Stott, the English architect, civil engineer and surveyor. Crest Mill was demolished long ago. The mill engines were sent to the United States, but the ship carrying them sank in the Atlantic. Scott's mill chimneys all had two distinctive bands towards the top. Stott was born in Chadderton, Lancashire, and joined the family firm of architects upon leaving school. In 1883, he set up his own business, P. S. Stott, specialising in the design of cotton mills - he designed 22 mills in Oldham and 55 elsewhere in the county, plus many more in Europe, India and the Far East, amounting to 124 in total. He became a baronet in 1920, and was elected a Fellow of the Society of Architects and a member of the Royal Institute of British Architects. He was a significant figure in Lancashire mills, being responsible for 40% of the spindles laid down in Oldham between 1887 and 1914, and 44% of the increase in Lancashire's spinning capacity between 1887 and 1925. He retired a wealthy man having accumulated shares in the mills he designed. Condition: generally very good; some slight staining marks to mount, and possible faint time staining in areas.

  • Lionel Edwards (1878 - 1966)

    The Beaufort Hunt. Kill Above Sodbury Vale. (1925)

      Lithograph 38 x 52 cm Signed in plate lower right and in pencil lower left outside the plate. Printed and Published by Eyre and Spottiswoode. A Lionel Edwards lithograph depicting the Beaufort - part of the artist's 1925 'Hunting Countries' series. The Beaufort's hunt dress is peculiar to the country in that the Huntsman and Whippers-In wear green and the subscribers a blue coat with buff facings. The earliest records of hounds being kennelled at Badminton date back to 1640 when the then Marquis of Worcester hunted mainly deer, but hare and fox as well. Dukes of Beaufort have either hunted hounds themselves or have been in the Mastership since the title was created in 1682 and the hounds, kennels and stables still belong to them. The 10th Duke was master from 1924 to 1984 and so great was his contribution to foxhunting he became universally known as "Master". The Beaufort is one of the few remaining private packs. Lionel Edwards was a British artist who specialised in pictures of country life, particularly horses, and provided illustrations for Country Life. He is best known for his hunting scenes but also painted pictures of horse racing, shooting and fishing. Condition: generally very good; some fading to the clouds.
