Newlyn School - six painter's autographs: Lamorna Birch, Stanhope Forbes, Henry Rheam, Baragwanath King, Arthur Tanner & Norman Garstin

Not published. Soft cover. Good Plus. This is a collection of six painters from the Newlyn School, the colony of artists based in or near Newlyn, a fishing village adjacent to Penzance, on the south coast of Cornwall, from the 1880s until the early twentieth century. Five are cut signatures (from letters), and one is a signed piece of blue paper. The artists are: 1. Stanhope Forbes (1857-1942), he moved to Newlyn in 1884 and was one of the founding members of the NEAC. His signature is a letter-base with some of his handwriting to the reverse. 2. Samuel J Lamorna Birch (1869-1955), moved to Cornwall in 1892. (These first two signatures come with a covering letter from 1903, gifting to the two autographs to a collector). A signed slip of blue paper containing nothing but his autograph. 3. Arthur Tanner (1857-1916), painter and photographer, friend of Henry Scott Tuke and protege of Norman Garstin. He was one of the first artists to settle in Cornwall. A letter-base, rather crudely torn. 4. Norman Garstin (1847-1926). Irish artist, moved to Newlyn in 1886. A letter base. 5. Henry Rheam (1859-1920). Moved to Newlyn c1890, and was a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours. A letter-base. He was a cousin of Henry Scott Tuke. 6. (John) Baragwanath King (1864-1939). Lived in St Austell. A letter base. Condition: All signatures are in good condition, and readable, some with pencil annotation (but not affecting the signatures).
