Rowland Hilder

Bit of a long shot, this.

Some years ago I was sent a birthday card which featured a charming watercolour and charcoal sketch of Newhaven Harbour by the Anglo-American artist Rowland Hilder.

Here it is:

Since then I have been searching for a full-size reproduction to hang on the wall. Absolutely no luck!

If a bigger version exists it would be great to know from where it might be obtained.

TIA

Ron.

A quick search shows that the Victoria and Albert museum used to sell a print of it, but not any longer (maybe not popular enough)

May be worth contacting them to see if they have any left in stock?

BrendanS - thanks, the V&A is one place that I hadn't thought of looking. I shall make enquiries.

Cheers,

Ron.

It's your lucky day. The print is currently available from Laura Ashley, £80, mounted and framed.

We bought it last week and its now over the fireplace and looks lovely

Very lucky - thanks Stoshak.

I've placed my order and found that actually I'm very,very,very lucky - the price has gone down to 64 quid!

Thanks for the info.

Ron.

No wonder it wasn't easy to find. No mention of Hilder or Hewhaven.
