About the Item

19th century English Antique view of the Thames Estuary on the River Thames this is the area where shipping would enter and leave the River Thames into the North Sea. In the 19th century, it was very busy with Cargo ships, Military shipping and pleasure craft. Edward Henry Fletcher was born in Hammersmith on the 23rd of July 1857. He was the son of a Bengal river pilot and having spent his early years in India, the family returned to England while he was still a boy. He was educated at Christ's Hospital and later at the Chelsea School of Art where he became a close friend of Daniel Sherrin, the landscape artist. After his marriage, Fletcher lived in Blackheath and owned a small Auction House. At about forty, he suffered a serious illness and gave up the business to become a professional painter, having previously painted as a hobby. He also painted under the pseudonym John Hayes and is often called Edwin Fletcher. Later in life he moved away from London to live in Thames Ditton, Winchelsea near Rye and Tilehurst is Sussex, where he died in 1945. Fletcher worked largely in the City, painting scenes of the Thames and recording the busy shipping lanes of this important industrial waterway. During hard times his work was handled by an Islington dealer who sold many of his paintings to American dealers, with whom it proved very popular. He also painted South coast scenes, some including H.M.S. Victory. The occasional portrait came from his hand, including one of the mayors of Margate, which still hangs in the Town Hall, and for which he was reputedly never paid the 80 guinea fee. Fletcher never exhibited, although he was often urged to do so by his friends, and admirers of his work. The painting has been framed in a new hand-made English gold leaf frame.
