Artist's Proof before letters. Signed in pencil. Ernest Stamp - 1869-1942. Frederick Walker (1840-1875) was a London-based painter and illustrator in watercolours and oils. He was first apprenticed to the engraver, Josiah Wood, and his engravings were published in magazines including Good Words, Once a Week and Everybody's Journal. William Makepeace Thackeray used his illustrations for his new journal, the Cornhill Magazine. This included the illustrations for Thackeray's novel, the Adventures of Philip, published 1862. Walker studied at the Royal Academy Schools, and exhibited at the Summer Exhibition and with the Royal Water-Colour Society. His paintings show a deep concern for the under-privileged, and is acknowledged as the leader of what became known as the English Social Realist school of painting. He had a tremendous influence on young artists such as Luke Fildes, Frank Holl and Hubert von Herkomer |
