Lot 147: A Set of Four Walter Holmes Signed Prints of North East England Maritime Scenes

A collection of four framed colour prints after original watercolours by Walter Holmes. The set features atmospheric maritime and industrial views of North East England, including Seahouses harbour, North Shields Fishquay, the Newcastle Swing Bridge, and the Tyne Bridge. The compositions focus on realist depictions of shipping and coastal architecture with an emphasis on hazy light and water reflections. Each piece is presented within a cream-coloured paper mount and housed in a matching dark-stained wooden frame with a gilt inner slip. Each print is signed in the plate to the lower right corner and is further hand-signed in pencil by the artist to the lower right margin. The specific titles are inscribed in pencil to the lower left margins.
