Reginald Hallward (1858 – 1948)
Design for a banner in the shape of a strawberry
Watercolour
14 x 10 cm
A design for a banner featuring a strawberry motif. The design, like many others by Hallward, is likely influenced by in the Arts and Crafts style popularised by William Morris in the 1890s.
Reginald Hallward was born on the Isle of Wight, and was a painter, poet, glassmaker and book designer. He is best known for his stained glass window designs and the tempera murals he painted in several churches. A great exponent of the English Arts and Crafts movement, he often used black paint for outlines, rather than leaded glass. A consumate craftsman, he insisted on painting, firing and leading with his own hands.
Condition: mounted to board, old glue marks to margins, and some loss of colour; otherwise good.
