Anybody heard of him?
Yesterday, we were in the RSPA charity shop in Ramsgate and spotted a very nice print in a solid wooden frame. At the foot, it had a small brass plate inscribed "A Surrey Garden - Ernest L Hampshire 1907-1938".
It's under glass, so I presume it's a print.
We were intrigued but also liked the picture, so we bought it. A snip at £8.75.
Researched when we got home and is seems that a Ernest Llewelyn Hampshire was a prominent painter and several of his works have been auctioned. But am curious to know what the 1907-1938 means. It's not his life span, so what is it?
