Edward Henry Eugene Fletcher
A Pair Victorian view of the Thames by St. Pauls and a View on the Thames London
1890

About the Item

An amazing pair of English Victorian views along the Thames in London. The first is a view with St.Pauls in the misty or foggy background and the other is a classic view along the Thames with working boats moving products to and from the port of London. 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.
