Jubilee Procession in a Cornish Village, A. G. Sherwood Hunter (1846-1919)
Oil on canvas, Newlyn School, June 1897. This painting is a wonderful record of a lantern procession held to commemorate Queen Victorias Diamond Jubilee in 1897. The women and girls in the procession, all dressed in white and carrying Chinese lanterns, are shown snaking their way through the Cornish fishing village of Newlyn. George Sherwood Hunter was born in Aberdeen and visited Newlyn around the turn of the century. He settled there permanently in 1902 where he taught alongside Stanhope and Elizabeth Forbes at the Newlyn School of Painting. Like many artists associated with the Newlyn School, Hunter was interested in depicting working people around the ports and villages of Cornwall. The painting underwent considerable conservation and restoration in 2010 which meant that, for the first time in over 100 years, the exquisitely painted faces of those in the procession could be seen in all their subtle glory. The delicate beauty in the childrens faces is made more remarkable when one takes into consideration the very limited palette Hunter works with

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas painting by Scottish artist A. G. Sherwood Hunter captures the enchanting scene of a lantern procession held in the Cornish fishing village of Newlyn to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897. The women and girls in the procession, dressed in white and carrying intricately designed Chinese lanterns, weave their way through the narrow streets of the village. Born in Aberdeen, Hunter visited Newlyn around the turn of the century and settled there permanently in 1902, where he became a prominent figure in the Newlyn School of Painting. Known for his interest in depicting the working people and communities around the ports and villages of Cornwall, this painting is a testament to his skill in capturing the essence of rural life in the region. The delicate beauty of the children's faces in the procession is particularly noteworthy, all the more remarkable when one considers the limited palette Hunter employs in his work. The painting underwent extensive conservation and restoration in 2010, revealing for the first time in over a century the intricate details and subtlety of the exquisitely painted faces and lanterns. This work of art is a valuable record of a bygone era and a testament to the enduring allure of the Cornish countryside.
