Charlie Johnson Payne ''Snaffles'' (British, 1884-1967)
''Cutting it out for ‘em.'' (very rare and unrecorded), circa 1920, signed and titled in pencil to the original mount, printed and heavily hand coloured, in the original ebonised frame.
Dimensions: 33 x 33cm (excluding original mount) 42 x 42cm (excluding frame)
This rare print with heavy hand colouring is an exciting discovery; unrecorded in the Catalogue Raisonne or any of the books, either contemporary or reference. The main image of the lady on a grey taking a fence is identical to that of ‘High Leicestershire’ (see our Stock for a copy of the print) with a more detailed background and heavy hand colouring, which could almost be mistaken for an original watercolour. Our theory is that this is a later and more sophisticated version of ‘High Leicestershire’ and is the forerunner for the print ‘Handing It Out To ‘Em’ (see our website for a copy of the print), leading us to a date of between 1913 and 1929.
