Charles Thomas Burt (1823-1902)Changing PastureSigned and dated 1861, oil on canvas, 24.5cm by 35cmRelined, cleaned and re-varnished. Some likely strengthening through the white clouds of the sky. Small patch of retouching immediately above the right hand side of the horizontal fence post within the pasture before the trees which is approx 3mm wide and 1cm across. Some slight rubbing / tiny loss to outer edges of canvas. Paint slightly flattened from restoration within sky. Light surface dirt and discoloured varnish, otherwise ein a good and stable state of preservation.
William Mellor (1851–1931)Waterfall scene in an Autumnal landscapeSigned, oil on canvas, 64.5cm by 125cmFairly stiffly relined, cleaned and re-varnished. Small retouches to the upper left corner, approx 1.5cm away from the upper left corner, the second being the larger 0.5-1cm across. Two further areas of retouching presumably to old damages. Approx centre, left-hand side edge, one approx 1cm away from left-hand side edge and although slightly irregular roughly rectangular at approx 1cm by 2cm overall. The second more linear band or patch or retouching is approx 7cm to the right of this and runs vertically approx length of 6cm and roughly 1cm across. Further patch of retouching towards lower left-hand side corner around 3cm at widest diameter although not a regular circle. Some general retouching throughout lower right-hand corner, across the rock. Two small retouches closer to the upper right-hand side edge, above the foliage. Retouches to the upper right corner. Further patch of retouching within sky just left of centre and approx 4cm away from the upper edge roughly 2-4cm by 1.5-2cm overall. Further more sporadic retouches to composition elsewhere. The surface is slightly flattened from the restoration process, areas of varying-sized stable cracquelure, more notable to sky. Light surface dirt and discoloured varnish. Otherwise in a stable and presentatble state of preservation.
Attributed to Thomas Smythe (1825-1907) Horse mounted traveller in a snowbound landscape Possibly signed under framing lower right, oil on board, 60cm dia.

Follower of Matthew Ellis Nutter (1795-1862)The Lookouts - Greyhounds and another dog standing in a stable Oil on canvas, 49cm by 59cmIn a restored state of preservation, relined, cleaned and re-varnished. Some surface dirt and discolured varnish now in evidence. The surface is slightly flattened and the paint is thin in isolated places as a result of the restoration process e.g. legs of grey and white dog. Areas of varying sized cracquelure. Some of which is more widely separated e.g. across the front 50% of the brown and white standing dog, elements of the horizon-line. Parts of the composition have a more bubbled finnish e.g. within the background and also elements of the foreground e.g. the ground beneath and left of where the black dog rests, including the landscape immediately behind the same animal, lower right corner etc. Relatively minor rubbing to some edges. A good amount of these more raised and pitted areas of surface and as previously mentioned immediately behind the black dog for example and through the foreground. Retouching and restoration can be seen with a UV light. A fairly consistent area on the inside of the building against the open doorway shows consistent retouching and overpainting which takes the overall form roughly of a number seven and is approx 10-15cm on each length and roughly 5cm across. Furthermore minor retouching to horizon, the outline of brown and white dogs tail, sporadically to the edges and elsewhere.
Horatio Henry Couldery (1832–1918)The Best of Friends Signed, oil on canvas, 27.5cm by 39cmIn fully restored condition. Fairly stiffly relined, cleaned and re-varnished. Retains a degree of surface within the brushwork of the coat of the dog and the hay for example. Some light surface dirt and discoloured varnish. There is likely a patch of restoration within the hay immediately beneath the stomach of the recumbent puppy and another running across and through the hay below the puppy's left-hand leg or certainly an irregularity to the original paint/surface, see images. Otherwise in a stable and presentable state of preservation. Provenance: Private collection
Robert Collinson (fl.1854-1890) A Quiet Dell Initialled and dated 1862, oil on canvas, 21cm by 27cmProvenance: Roy Miles Fine Paintings, LondonPhilips London December 14, 1993, Lot 55Painted on paper/card, laid onto canvas. Relatively light surface dirt and discoloured varnish. The base of the sheet is slightly apparent is some areas of the sky where the paint is thin. Relatively sporadic fine retouches throughout sky. Slightly more concentrated to upper right and upper left corners with further more concentrated narrow band (no more than 0.5cm across) at the central part of the right-hand side, yellow covered hill. Retouches to outer edges, lower left-hand corner, within the central area, the darker tones and shadows and the dell itself, in the area around the bird, and scattered sparely elsewhere to the vegetation. Some extension to the sheet. Otherwise in a stable and presentable state of preservation.
Charles Edward Wilson RI (1854-1941) "The Rustic Angler" Signed, watercolour, 26.5cm by 38.5cmIn an overall good state of preservation. Some reduction to overall colour depth and recently light time staining through the sheet which is mostly apparent to the lesser worked area such as sky, and upper left-hand corner. Possible subtle cockle to sheet however not examined out of the frame. Odd tiny foxing spot e.g. lower left-hand corner.
Robert W. Wright (fl.1871-1889)In disgrace - a young boy apprehensively returning home Signed and dated 1881, oil on panel, 18cm by 24cmProvenance: Possibly anonymous sale 12 August 1992 & 24th September 1992 In an overall good and highly presentable state of preservation including the frame. Cleaned and revarnished. Paint is possibly slightly thin in places such as the background but equally the artist has probably applied diluted pigments. Patch of delicate retouching across the floor tile in the furthest lower left-hand corner and along lower left-hand corner edge. There is little else to easily discern under a UV light by way of later paint or restoration but may not entirely preclude the possibility of further minor intervention.
Jane Maria Bowkett (1837-1891) Powder and Puff Signed, oil on canvas, 75cm by 62.5cm Fairly stiffly relined, cleaned and re-carnished with a fairly high gloss finish. Some flattening to the surface and the paint is thin in places as a result of the restoration process. Minor rubbings/abrasion to edges and corners. Scattered small-sized retouches visible with UV, right-hand side upper edge and background upper right-hand side. Larger likely patch of retouching and overpainting, right of the dollys neck. Patch of retouching and overpainting within the foreground and is the area between the discarded string of beads and the hand and wrist of the dismembered doll's arm. Further cluster of retouches and more consistent overpainting to denote some of the darker decoration within the foreground immediately below the left-hand side of the girls pink skirts which extends across to include the area between the pot lid. Further sporadic retouches elsewhere to background e..g. the space below the doll towards the right edge and further similar size delicate retouches here and there.

Cluster of varying-sized foxing spot along right-hand side lower edge and into the area of water within this general area. Other foxing spots not necessarily evident. Some light staining to exposed areas elsewhere which would suggest the ochre colour along top edge and the upper right corner is applied watercolour. Colour depth broadly good, possibly slightly muted. Light surface dirt in places or transferred graphite. No evidence of cockling, not examined out of the frame.
