About the Item
Harry Brooker
British, (1848-1940)
The Model Aeroplane
Oil on canvas, signed & indistinctly dated
Image size: 13.5 inches x 17.5 inches
Size including frame: 24.75 inches x 28.75 inches
A delightful genre painting of children with a model aeroplane by Harry Brooker. A boy can be seen standing at a table showing a rubber band model aeroplane to three other children. Rubber band powered or torsion powered aeroplanes became a popular toy during the late 1800’s.
Harry or Henry Brooker was born on 25 August, 1848 to Henry Brooker and Emma Hunt. His uncle was the artist Charles Hunt Jnr (1829-1900) and his cousins were Reuben Hunt (1858-1938), Claude Hunt (1863-1949), Walter Hunt (1861-1941) and Edgar Hunt (1876-1955). He lived with his family in Kensington, London and most likely attended school there. Given the similarities in subject matter it is not impossible that he was tutored by his uncle. By the age of 22, he was working as a full time artist and began exhibiting from around 1876 at the Royal Academy and Royal Society of British Artists, Suffolk Street. He specialised in genre scenes often including children at play.
He married Edmee Isabel Short on January 13, 1877 and they initially lived in Southport where he worked as a private art tutor. Around this time he also exhibited at the Royal Manchester Institution. The couple moved back to London where all 6 of their children were born. From 1891, he lived at Shorrold’s Road, Fulham. He continued to paint and exhibit in London as well as at the provincial galleries including the Brighton Autumn Exhibition and the Smith Art Gallery until around 1920. He spent the remaining years of his life at 10 Richmond Park Road in Barnes. He died in London in 1940 and was buried in North Sheen Cemetery.
Examples of his work are held by Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council and the Museum of the Home.
Presentation: The painting is housed in its original gilt frame which is in excellent condition.
Condition: As with all of our original antique oil paintings, this work is offered in ready to hang gallery condition, having been professionally cleaned, restored and revarnished.

Playing Cribbage
Oil on panel, signed & dated (18)58
Image size: 11.5 inches x 14.5 inches
Size including frame: 20.25 inches x 23.25 inches
Provenance: Mr J Taylor Esq; F C Mander, purchased March 1907.
A delightful genre painting of a family playing a game of cards by James Hardy Jnr. A group of people are depicted sitting at a table in front of a fireplace in a rustic interior, playing cribbage. As four of the players study their cards, a woman gets up to help another player with their hand. Meanwhile, a tan and white dog watches on with interest.
The reverse of this painting includes a handwritten inscription which reads: ‘This painting was purchased by the late Mr Taylor for £40 and bought by me at Public Auction at Addison Hall for £45. March 1907. F. C. Mander’. Further research has discovered that a public auction of the collection of a Mr J Taylor Esq was held by his Executors on Tuesday 5 March 1907 at Addison Hall, Addison Road, Kensington. Details of the sale including a mention of a work on offer by J Hardy, appeared in the Kensington News and West London Times on Friday 1 March 1907. Messrs F C Mander & Co were listed as the auctioneers involved in the sale. Their address at the time was 296, Uxbridge Road, Shepherd’s Bush.
James Hardy Jnr was a genre and sporting painter born in Brighton, Sussex in 1832 into a family of artists. He was the son of the portrait and genre painter James Hardy (1801-1879) and his wife Elizabeth (née Vinson). His brothers David Hardy (1838-1870) and Heywood Hardy (1842-1933) and his sister Ada Hardy all became artists. His cousins Frederick Daniel Hardy...

A wonderful genre painting by Charles Hunt of two men and two boys with horses and other animals in a cottage. A farmer and his two sons can be seen eating lunch at a table in rustic interior as a visitor approaches. Perhaps encouraged by the boys, a piglet seems to have found its way onto the table whilst a rabbit and guinea pig eat cabbage leaves on the floor. To the far right, a horse is shown in a stable area along with some piglets. To the far left, a terrier waits on the step by its master.
Charles Hunt was a genre and figure painter born in Kensington, London in 1829. His sons Reuben Hunt...
