Featured fisherman sketchpad drawing

hi folks

a drawing i found today. was in a bunch of old photographs (can post if anyone wants to see the photos as well, picked out some odd/interesting looking ones)

unframed, think its from an artists sketchpad

i really like it, musta taken ages

any info insights or comments appreciated

 

Isn't that interesting? A very ambitious perspective. And love the detail -- barefeet, knife, box. Yes, let's see some of the accompanying photographs.

odd bunch

 

this caught my eye today deb, because of the signature, but missing the R part
watcha reckon ?, nothing like his work, but the surname part is great match

sorry pics are bad their photos of my mobile screen

 

Fascinating. I suppose he could have just died. But signature? On the sketch? I don't see a signature.

No the signature on the new pics, lady with bright coloured hair watercolour

 

Doesn't it resemble this a bit ?

I hope not be honest as I didn't buy it

Just didn't make sense that it was his work

Missing the first initial as well

Just want to be sure

 

Sorry, Charlie, I don't see a similarity.

 

Don't be sorry bakers, I hope it's not the same

 

Love the pics ! That little Lord Fauntleroy is fabulous ! The muscle pics will sell well on Feebay. Very popular amongst a certain demographic.

 

I don't think it's the same signature.

The photos are great! If you are selling them, the first one is considered an "occupational" -- butchers, maybe? Many people collect occupational photos. Also I see that at least one of your other ones is from a press agency. Some people collect those types, and as johnny mentioned the subject matter is of interest... to more than one demographic, I would think!

The Little Lord Fauntleroy outfit is great, too.

 

Really very helpful thanks fig, was wondering how to categorize the first one

Wonder if it's a slaughterhouse

 

Looks like it could be. Is there any identification of the location or photographer's name?

 

Hi fig

No afraid not, the cardboard backing has been trimmed off

 

Oh, too bad... that could make it less valuable for selling. But if somebody likes the image for a collection, it could still do well.

 

Hi inh

It does look a bit like a date, but I think might just be looks a bit like

Thanks for looking

Charlie

 

just torn netting....that's why he's fixing it !
