I've been slowly building up a small collection of black and white line drawings and prints. A theme of sorts has been emerging {scenes from the late 18 or early 19c, mainly of street towns or rural landscapes} but this little print caught my eye on a visit to 'Aberdeen Antiques Centre'. My first visit, and a thoroughly enjoyable one. Incidentally, you'll see that the centre is housed in a railway arch. The sound of trains passing over the arch is pretty enjoyable, and, if like me, it's a sound you enjoy...it make's for a pretty relaxing browsing experience!
Back to the print...It's a handsome little print which sit's very well with the others I've collected. Aside from this, it was gloriously priced! The wee framer's sticker on the back was charming: 'H. R. Wiseman, The Handcraft Shop, Dufftown'...and the print itself by an artist called Joan Hassall. All in all, a great little find for me, and really enjoyable researching the artist beyond the Wiki page!
Have a great day...and happy hunting!
