<p>[QUOTE="techbiker, post: 4515982, member: 60629"]Although it took serious work, I was fortunate enough to purchase 9 19th century British paintings from southern England. I'm going to split this into two threads given the volume. Have you heard/read anything about the following paintings or their artists? Did I waste my money? Are they charming, intriguing, bland, ugly? As always, please pardon my potato camera. It doesn't capture small details well. Happy to whip out the DSLR if you'd like. Thank you in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p>Richard Principal Leitch watercolor- Ruined Castle, 1870? The detail in this watercolor is wonderful. 33"x28" frame size. Has a 1988 Bonhams auction note on verso (I'm reaching out to Bonhams). Need to test the pH of the mount, touch up the frame, and replace the aperture.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/6jeNNpO.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/sC7XKG6.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/fDjR1EJ.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>"The Charge" by Stanley L Wood. In Gouache, heightened with white. I almost fell back in my chair when I first saw this. Ghost pirates, awesome! Google the title and artist for a better image (still in protector).

I'm hoping that it will clean up easily.
