Horace P. Giles (19th c.)
Lamprey River, Raymond, New Hampshire
oil on board, 10" x 14", signed lower right
Here is one of the lovliest 19th c. New England pastoral we've ever offered. We've had a few other works by the artist over the years, some wonderful portraits and landscape miniatures. There remains some confusion over his birthdate so we will leave it as 19th century. Giles kept a stuido in Merimacport, Massachusetts. He is in the exhibition records of the Boston Art Club from 1892 - 1905, where he is listed as a fresco painter, scenic and photographic background painter. He is also included in Campbell's book, "New Hampshire Scenery."
