Notes

* The Wintle Collection: Irene Carr, daughter of the early St. Ives School artist & photographer Sydney Herbert Carr (1864-1917), married Francis Edward Wintle at the parish church, St. Ives in June 1912. The wedding was a major local social event with a reception at the Porthminster Hotel, and was attended by a number of local and other artists, many of whom presented paintings to the couple as wedding presents. The Wintle Collection includes a number of these presents, which are being offered on the open market for the first time. A full list of guests and presents was published in The St. Ives Times on June 21st 1912, listing a "framed etcing" as being given by Mr. and Mrs. Milner. A facsimile copy of the article from The St. Ives Times accompanies the lot. Please contact us for further details of this unusual provenance.
