Charles Edward Hannaford artist

Some weeks back, I visited a charity shop. They at times expose frames and pictures to ghd dldmdnts due to their lack of sale value. I looked thru these pieces and did not find any that I might purchase. One of those pieces was a poster that had been framed. I went to look elsewhere in the charity but eventually came back, finding that someone had opened the frame and taken the poster. This action exposed the piece that I then picked up.

The exposed piece was a watercolour landscape. It bore a title and signature in the lower left of the piece. I thought it a good piece.

The Pass of Glencoe, Scotland – watercolour by Charles Edward Hannaford (1863-1955)

A quite beautiful image of ‘The Pass of Glencoe, Scotland’ by #CharlesEdwardHannaford (1863-1955). Hannaford was born in Liverpool and studied art in London and Paris. He was educated as an engineer/architect, and his work brought him to the notice of artists William Cook and Stanhope Forbes. He was also well thought of and collected by the Royal family. His art brought him to reside in Plymouth, Cornwall, London, and finally moving to Norfolk settling in the town of Thorpe. A very good piece even after being exposed to the elements.
