Painting signed by W. H. Ward
Revised Date
(1850-1882)
Betty was fortunate enough to find
this painting in Dublin
about thirty years ago.
John Hamshere of
Hamshere Gallery,
UK. Made contact
recently
regarding the date of the Ward painting.
He suggested that
the painting was by W H Ward, a
Birmingham
painter, 1850-1882,
rather than William Ward, 1766-1826.
Copies of the W H Ward signature and of the framer’s stamp on
the back of the canvas were sent
to
Mr Hamshere. The framer’s
name and Birmingham address on the
back seemed to confirm that the painting was by W H Ward
1850-1882.
John Hamshire was kind enough to send the following
copy of an oil painting by Frederick Thomas Daws (1878-1949)
which he says was published in early Irish Wolfhound material.
Thank you
John Hamshere
