1931 Documents

1931

J. Palser & Sons, Stock Book, 1931 (Palser Records)

  • ‘Waterfall’, 17 ¾ × 21 ¼ in (45.1 × 54 cm). Sold (TG1330)
  • ‘Ouse Bridge, Yorks’, 19 ½ × 13 ¼ in (49.5 × 33.7 cm). Sold (TG1042)
  • ‘Sandsend, Whitby’, 20 ½ × 12 ½ in (52.1 × 31.8 cm). Sold. This work has not been traced, but it appears that it was a copy of TG1702 and was not painted by Girtin. It was bought from the Palser Gallery by Arthur Edward Anderson (c.1871–1938) who sought to present it to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. However, the Keeper of Fine Art Charles Francis Bell (1871–1966) rejected the attribution out of hand and following some tense negotiations which are well documented in the Girtin Archive (26:1931) The Ouse Bridge, York (TG1042) was substituted.
