Oleograph on Board of Shakespeare’s Birthplace by W. W. Quatremain

1900 - 1920

Sold by Kendall House Antiques Ltd.

Description

Signed and dated 1910. An Oleograph on board, unframed.

24cm x 18cm high.

William Wells Quatremain (1857 – 1930) was an English artist from Stratford upon Avon who painted many oil and watercolour landscapes of Britain, many of which were published by J. Salmon the post card manufactures of the day, and was brother of George Wells Quatremain the much-coveted Stratford upon Avon taxidermist who later moved to Malvern. William produced a number of scenes from Warwickshire and specifically from Stratford-upon-Avon, including "Shakespeare's Birthplace" and "Ann Hathaway's Cottage."

Footnote: Oleographs can very convincingly resemble oil paintings, but are in fact prints. Oleography was widely used in the late 19th century, and involved the process of chromolithography along with a stamping process to imitate the thick strokes of oil paint.

It can therefore sometimes be difficult to tell whether the artwork you have is an oil painting or an oleograph, as with the one we have for sale here, albeit at a much lesser cost.
