About the Item

John Faulkner (Irish, c. 1830-1888, active United States c. 1870-80) Farm Scene with Figures, c. 1870 Watercolor on paper, 20 x 28 inches (sight) FRAMED: 31 1/4 x 39 1/4 inches Signed at lower left: "John Faulkner RH" John Faulkner was an Irish landscape and marine painter in oil and watercolor. He entered the Royal Dublin Society Schools in 1848 and first exhibited in 1852 at the Royal Hibernian Academy in Dublin. He was elected an associate member of the academy in 1861, only to be expelled in 1870. Some time prior to this he left Dublin for the United States, where this watercolor was probably painted. He exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia in 1866 and 1868, when his address was recorded as Sansom Street in Philadelphia. He proceeded to London, where he earned his living by painting watercolors for dealers. Faulkner exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy again from 1880 to 1887 and at the Royal Academy in London from 1884 to 1888.

  • Where Wild Hibiscus Grows, Absecon Island, NJ, Watercolor of Jersey Shore 1894
    Located in Philadelphia, PA
    Peter Caledon Cameron (American, born Scotland, 1852-c. 1920) Absecon Island, New Jersey, 1894 Watercolor on paper, 17 1/2 x 27 inches (sight) FRAMED: 26 1/2 x 36 1/2 inches Signed and dated at lower left: "ABSECON.ISLAND./ N.J-U.S.A Cameron/1894" N.J-U.S.A Cameron/1894" Born in Perth, Scotland, Peter Caledon Cameron won awards for drawing and penmanship at a Glasgow public school. He claimed that at the age of fourteen his watercolors were already "in demand," and that before turning twenty he had "crossed every ocean in the world, sketching and painting as he went." He attended the Government School of Design in London and was certified as an art master in 1883. Cameron immigrated to the United States that year, settled in Philadelphia, and commenced work on large history paintings such as Niagara in Winter (unlocated) and Vesuvius in Grand Eruption (unlocated) that he exhibited in various northern cities. He exhibited one painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1902. Nothing is known of his activities later in life. In a lengthy inscription that accompanies this watercolor, Cameron noted that Absecon was "a piece of the best sand-dune region characteristic of the whole coast of New Jersey State from Sandy Hook point in the North to Cape May Point in the extreme south." This was one among a number of studies the artist made for a large oil painting titled "Captain Kidd Burying His Treasure" (unlocated). The famous Scottish privateer Captain William Kidd...
