Notes

* The Wintle Collection: Irene Carr, daughter of the early St. Ives School artist & photographer Sydney Herbert Carr (1864-1917), married Francis Edward Wintle at the parish church, St. Ives in June 1912. The wedding was a major local social event with a reception at the Porthminster Hotel, and was attended by a number of local and other artists, many of whom presented paintings to the couple as wedding presents. The Wintle Collection includes a number of these presents, which are being offered on the open market for the first time. A full list of guests and presents was published in The St. Ives Times on June 21st 1912, listing a "framed etching" as being given by Mr. and Mrs. Claude Barry. A facsimile copy of the article from The St. Ives Times accompanies the lot. Please contact us for further details of this unusual provenance. Early Claude Barry etchings are rare, as it is reputed that his wife burnt all of his work when he went off with a mistress in 1914.
