These prints date from about 1900 to 1920 before the car changed our towns and villages for ever. the introduction of full colour printing around 1900 enabled for the first time the reproduction of the subtle tints and tones of original paintings.
Ernest William Haslehust (12 Nov 1866 - 3 July 1949). He was a prolific painter of British landscapes in watercolour and is perhaps best remembered for illustrating 36 volumes of the well-known "Beautiful England" series of travel books published by Blackie
Wilfrid Williams Ball was born on 4th January 1853
For the next two decades he painted landscapes and marine subjects and exhibited widely at the Royal Academy; Royal Society of Painters, Etchers and Engravers; Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours; and many others. He became President of the Society of British Artists in 1886. He was also a member of The Arts Club from 1896 until 1916.
His book 'Sussex - Painted by Wilfrid Ball' published in 1906 and 'Hampshire - Painted by Wilfrid Ball' published in 1909 brought his paintings to a much wider audience and significantly enhanced his popularity. Many of his paintings were used, and still are, on postcards and greetings cards.
He died of heat exhaustion in Khartoum during WWI while working as an administrator for the British Army.
