Paul Jacob Naftel R.W.S. (British, 1817-1891) The Fairies` Glen, St. Germain, Castel, Guernsey watercolour and bodycolour, heightened with white, signed with monogram and dated 1864 13½ x 9¾in (34½ x 25cm). * We would like to express our sincere thanks to Gillian Lenfestey who discovered the exact location of where this watercolour was painted in Guernsey. * Paul Naftel held an annual preview in Guernsey of the watercolours he intended to submit for exhibition at The Old Watercolour Society in London, from the 1850s onwards. By doing so, he ensured that many were sold before they reached London, where the watercolours would then hopefully create further interest and lead to possible commissions. The preview he held during April 1865 was the first at his newly completed studio which he had built alongside his villa, which still stands today, `Millmount` in Candie Road, St Peter Port, Guernsey, to the designs of the famous London Architect John Pollard Seddon (1827-1906). `The Fairies Glen, Guernsey` was listed as No. 16 at Naftel`s preview exhibition. . * The Victoria and Albert Museum in London hold a very similar watercolour The Fairies Glen, again dated 1864, depicting the same location painted from a slightly different perspective, (Their reference 39-1992 Neg. 61161) indicating that perhaps this area was one of the artists more favoured views on the Island and one that he found to be popular with his clients. Naftel had probably been familiar with this location since the mid. 1840s when he was known to have taken parties of young ladies on sketching trips to the nearby `Woodlands`, the former country Estate of Frederick C. Carey. * The distant view of the spire of St Matthews Church, Cobo provided the first clue to the possible location to the area where this watercolour was painted and that it was likely to be close to the estate of St George, Castel. There was once an ancient chapel and well in the surrounding area, and the standing water provided a further clue. St Germain chapel is mentioned in Guernsey Folk Lore by Sir Edgar MacCuloch, published 1903, from which this paragraph is extracted from page 187 - `The Chapel of St. Germain was in the Castel parish, and its holy well, which was regarded by locals as no less efficacious than the fountain of St. George, was situated to the northwards of that chapel. All traces of the building have long since disappeared and all we know of it is that in the Extents of Queen Elizabeth and James I a rent payable to the Crown is described as due on a piece of ground situated near the Chapel of St. Germain` The local fairies in Guernsey Folklore were known as `Pouques` and La Pouquelah is a nearby area in the Castel parish. These traditions and beliefs were handed down from generation to generation and fairies were often associated with water. During Victorian times there was a resurgence in the belief in fairies, due to many fictional books and magazine articles popularising this belief. Naftel used the title `Fairies well` in several other Guernsey watercolours he painted, as a belief in the existence of fairies in Guernsey at that time was fairly common and was probably a commercial subject from an artist`s point of view.
