§ § Forrest Hewit (British, 1870-1956) 'The Calico Printers Ball, 1887'oil on canvassigned with exhibition label verso121 x 161cm***CONDITION REPORT***Forrest Hewit was a Director of the Calico Printer’s Association which is depicted in the painting , an event held in the newly built Manchester Town Hall, designed by Alfred Waterhouse and completed in 1877. The subject was apparently taken from a daguerreotype of the period and whilst obviously being of particular interest to Forrest Hewit as he was President of the Association, by the 1930’s it would have been a pretty anachronous scene for him to paint.Oil on original canvas in honest untouched condition, might benefit from a clean but no real faults noted, signed lower left, remnant of an exhibition label in the lower left corner, housed in a white overpainted frame, artist label applied to back of the canvas with the title and date inscribed in ink, remnant of an RBA label on the back of the frame.PLEASE NOTE:- Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which they are interested BEFORE the auction takes place.
