Rowland Hilder Sold at Auction Prices

Painter, Illustrator, b. 1905 - d. 1993

Born in New York in 1905, artist Rowland Hilder studied drawing at Goldsmiths' College in London, becoming a prolific book illustrator. He married fellow student Edith Blenkiron, a botanical illustrator, whom he collaborated with on several occasions. After several years in illustration, Hilder taught himself the art of watercolor and began to paint the English countryside. Rowland Hilder's paintings realistically captured the look and feel of the fields and towns around Kent.

In addition to his work as an artist, Rowland Hilder also taught and lectured, and in 1964, he began a ten-year stint as the President of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours. Rowland Hilder's prints, such as his famous The Garden of England, are displayed in galleries throughout England. Hilder passed away in 1993, just nine months after his wife.

        Come to Britain for Golf.

        Est: $1,200 - $1,500

        ARTIST: ROWLAND HILDER (1905-1933) SIZE: 19 3/4 x 29 7/8 in./50 x 76 cm PRINTER: W. S. Cowell, London DESCRIPTION: Look closely and you'll see the exquisite care Rowland Hilder took with this classic British landscape, emphasizing the depth, subtlety, patience, and attention to the contours of the land that are all critical parts of a golfer's game—and a painter's. From the foreground at the moment of the swing, your eye sweeps up to the fractals of the barely bare treetops, then swoops all the way down the green to another party negotiating a sand trap by the Tudor mansion and the 1940s-'50s cabriolets nestled alongside, with the steep hills cascading down to meadows, fells, and perhaps even the sea in its white tumbling. Even the bark of the trees is etched to be tactile and alive. What a triumph here of the British perspective—a poster that does just what it's supposed to, but with such love and mastery that it produces a quiet awe. (Modern; Sports; Travel)

        "Come to Britain for Golf" Vintage Travel Poster, Circa 1952

        Est: $2,000 - $3,000

        This is a framed 1952 vintage golf travel poster, entitled Come to Britain for Golf by Rowland Hilder. The lithographic poster was published by the Travel Association of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to promote Britain as a holiday destination. The poster was printed in Great Britain by W. S. Cowell Ltd. London & Ipswich and the emblem of the “Travel Association of the U.K, of Gt. Britain & N. Ireland” is printed in the bottom left hand corner. In the scene, four men play a relaxing game of golf in the golden light of Autumn. As the eye is drawn to the background, Hilder’s poster showcases Britain’s rolling hills and luxurious country clubs. The United Kingdom has a long history of Golf. The game was first invented in Scotland during the 15th century. Later in 1744, the first gentleman’s golf club was formed and rules began to formalize. During the 19th century, wherever the rule of Great Britain went, golf soon followed. The sport grew and certain destinations became known for their own style of courses. As seen in the poster, Britain’s unique bunkers and rough links courses varied greatly from others, like the carefully manicured courses of the United States. The artist, Rowland Frederick Hilder (1905-1993), was an English book illustrator, artist, and former Marine. He is most known for his black and white illustrations of Treasure Island for which he won The Times Illustrator’s Award in 1929. Hilder then began a long career with the travel guide company Then and Now designing posters. He put his skill in painting landscapes to good use while working for the travel company and produced many fine depictions. However, the poster presented here was created specifically for the Travel Association of Great Britain.
