Edmund Blampied was a painter, etcher, lithographer and sculptor. Born in 1886 to a family of three boys in St. Martin, Jersey, Blampied became interested in drawing at an early age. After visiting the studio of John Helier Lander in 1899, Blampied decided to make a career as an artist. In 1903, he went to London to attend Lambeth Art School where he studied etching under Walter Seymour. In 1905, he joined the Daily Chronicle as an artist. In that year, he was awarded a scholarship to Bolt Court School of Photo-engraving and Lithography. In 1912, Blampied left the Chronicle and established his studio. He earned a living by illustrating novels and short stories. In 1913, he had his first exhibition at the Leicester Gallery in London. The following year he married Marianne Van Abbé. During the 1920s, he became a member of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers. During the 1920s, Blampied became a member of the Royal Society of Painters-Etchers and Engravers and exhibited in London to critical acclaim. He produced a folio of comic drawings in the 1930s which was published in New York in 1934 and another that was published in London in 1936. The Keeper of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum published a monograph on his work. His London exhibitions were highly successful. In 1938, he moved to Bulwarks, St.Aubin in Jersey, but at the onset of the Occupation, had to relocate to Route Orange, St. Brelade. He remained there throughout World War II during the German Occupation, even though his wife was Jewish. During the Occupation, he designed banknotes and a set of postage stamps for the States of Jersey. After the War and the end of the Occupation, he continued to live and work in Jersey. In 1966, he died at the age of 80. He was a member of the Royal Society of British Artists, 1938; Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers, 1921.

Vintage Native American Horseback Scene Colored Pencil Drawing in Gilt Frame
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
An evocative vintage original colored pencil and graphite drawing depicting a dramatic Native American horseback scene, presented in its original giltwood frame. The composition captures several mounted Indigenous figures riding spirited horses across an open landscape, with one central rider dramatically raising a rifle overhead while wearing a feathered headdress. Executed in graphite with selective colored pencil highlights, the artist creates remarkable movement and energy while allowing the warm toned paper to become an integral part of the composition. The drawing has a wonderful illustrative quality reminiscent of early twentieth-century Western book and magazine illustrations. While unsigned, the work demonstrates confident draftsmanship and thoughtful composition, making it an appealing decorative artwork for collectors of Western Americana and Native American-inspired art. Its neutral palette of warm tans, ivory, brown, black, and muted yellow allows it to blend beautifully into both traditional and contemporary interiors. Presented in a vintage giltwood frame with a decorative molded border. Minor age-appropriate wear to the frame consistent with age. Paper displays an attractive warm patina. Glass and frame are in good vintage condition. Historical Context Throughout the early and mid-20th century, artists remained captivated by imagery of the American West and Native American life. Publishers, illustrators, and independent artists frequently produced drawings celebrating equestrian culture, frontier history, and Indigenous traditions. Works like this bridged fine art and illustration, often emphasizing movement, storytelling, and heroic composition rather than strict documentary accuracy. Today, original vintage Western drawings have become increasingly desirable among designers furnishing ranch homes, mountain retreats, Santa Fe interiors, and Americana collections because they offer authentic age and character while layering beautifully with antique furniture and contemporary design. This drawing would look exceptional: Above an antique campaign chest Over a leather Chesterfield sofa In a Santa Fe adobe home Layered with Navajo textiles Beside antique Native American pottery...
