Early Aviation Naive Watercolour Painting dated 1913, signed, Herbert M. Smith.

An early naive aviation watercolour painting by English untrained artist Herbert M. Smith dated 1913. Matted, Framed. Titled "Banking"

The painting has added observational hand written notes by Mr. Smith, which adds to the artwork's uniqueness and indeed charm. Initialled "HMS" on front and signed "Herbert M. Smith, 1913" in pencil on the back.

Herbert Smith as a young man cycled from his home in Croydon, South London to Hendon to watch the famous pre-war Hendon Air Races at Hendon Aerodrome in Hertfordshire. As an aviation enthusiast he took with him his sketch-book, pencils and watercolours, so as to draw, paint and make notes about the aeroplanes he saw flying.

Dimensions: Frame: 16 x 13 inches (41x32cm) Print 9.5 x 6.25 inches (24x16cm)

Very few early aviation painting or drawing records were made (at the time and in situ), most records were made by that equally modern device, the film camera. I purchased the artwork from his daughter.

Price: £425.00
