JOSEPH SOUTHALL, RWS, NEAC, RBSA
(1861-1944)
Minchinhampton, Gloucestershire
Signed with monogram and dated l.r.: 31.iii.1917 / JES
Pencil
22 by 15 cm., 8 ½ by 6 in.
Southall regularly travelled to the area of the southwestern Cotswolds near Stroud. His close friend Charles March Gere lived in Painswick, whilst Henry Payne lived on the edge of Amberley only two miles or so from the market town of Minchinhampton. He may also have accompanied Arthur Gaskin on this trip as there are several views of the neighbouring village of Box painted by Gaskin and also dated 1917. This unusual, oblique view of the town was drawn before the demolition of the buildings to the right of this drawing to make way for the town’s Memorial Cross.
