George Edward Horton (British, 1859-1950)

Launch of HMS Victoria from the Elswick shipyard of Sir W. G. Armstrong Whitworth and Co. Ltd Newcastle-upon-Tyne 1887
signed and dated 'GEHorton '87 (lower left)
watercolour and pencil heightened with white
38.1 x 63.5cm (15 x 25in).

Footnotes

Provenance
Colonel C. F. Hitchins, D.S.O. (presented by James Stewart O.B.E. on the 1st August 1934 on the occasion of the sale of Armstrong Whitworth Shipyards to the National Shipbuilders Ltd. for breaking up).

There is a second signature and date 'W. Parry 88' above Horton's signature (lower left). The reason for this is unclear as the watercolour would appear to have been painted by one hand and the date is after the ship was launched.
