| 131 | ARTISTS ARCHIVE: Personal papers of George Elgar Hicks, 1824-1914, 3 memoranda books consisting of the subjects painted by Hicks and the portraits commissioned. Details of buyers, sitters, prices obtained with comments. Covering the period 1853 to approximately 1910. An extensive record of an artist's life, probably done retrospectively to some extent but nevertheless an uncommon record showing particularly the considerable amount of money that Hicks commanded for his portraits in the 1880s. Hicks was originally a genre painter in the manner of Frith and to some extent rather dwarfed by him. His most famous painting is perhaps 'Dividend Day, Bank of England' which was exhibited at the R A in 1859. He tackled slightly unfashionable subjects including the General Post Office and Billingsgate Fish Market. With the decline in demand for genre pictures he moved over to portraiture, he was highly successful particularly with portraits of ladies. Although he lived for some time in Essex he principally resided in Hampshire. Also included in this lot are two photograph albums, one of carte de visites of Hicks and his immediate family and friends and the other of his farm at Copford Lodge, near Colchester in Essex. A memoranda book dealing with a trust of which he was a trustee for many years and a few loose pictures and prints and an attractive binding of 'Prose & Poetry' by GEH being manuscript jottings by Hicks in the 1860s. Interesting collection of original material of a somewhat un-researched artist. £800-£1200. | Nil |
