CONTACT US SKU#: 121177 US Shipping $75 + insurance. BIOGRAPHY: Eva Hollyer was born in 1865 in Walworth, South London as Evangeline Grace Ellen Hollyer. She was the first child of a family of 10 of William Perring Hollyer and Grace Emily (nee Rooke), who had married in 1864. It was a very artistic family. William Perring Hollyer (1834-1922) himself was a noted artist of animals and is best remembered for his paintings of highland stags, cattle and sheep which were very popular subjects in the latter half of the 19th century. William's father was Joseph Hollyer, a heraldic painter and coachbuilder of Dover who moved with his family to South London in 1851 and then diversified into the then new technology of using acid to etch glass. Several of Joseph's other children became Glass Artists and there were several generations of Hollyers who followed this trade or moved into gold-leaf signwriting. William was however the only son who used his artistic skills in painting.In her childhood, it appears that Eva's skills were more in music than art, since the 1871 census records her at the tender age of 6 as being a pianist. However, Eva too became an artist and amongst her exhibited works were Expectation (1891), A Tiff (1892) and The Course of True Love Never did Run Smooth (1892). She also exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 1891 (Hurt), 1894 (Happy) and 1898 (Spring). At this time the family were living in Cheshire. Her main work was figure painting and her sister Verna often sat for her. Many of her paintings were illustrations for books and she also produced many illustrated postcards.In 1906, at the age of 41, she married her cousin Joseph Richard Hollyer at Pontardawe in Wales. He too was an artist, but he was only 19 at the time. They both told 'little white lies' to the Registrar as the marriage certificate shows their ages as 35 and 22 respectively. It appears the marriage may have been a sham, as nothing more is heard of Joseph: there was no family and there is also no record of Joseph's death, so he may have moved abroad.During the 1920s and 30s, Eva lived with her sister Maud. She wrote a delightful article for Woman's Magazine in December 1927 called Our Property Venture describing their conversion of a country cottage called Wayside Cottage with drawings by herself and Maud. It was always thought that this article described the cottage that Eva and Maud actually lived in, as the article appears to be factual in style. In truth it now appears that they did indeed convert a cottage, but this was not until 1928. The cottage was called Littleholme and is at Inglesham in Wiltshire. It's quite different from the thatched cottage shown in the article. Eva and Maud lived there from 1928 to 1938. A full description of the cottage can be found here.
