PREFACE TO THE FOURTH EDITION This compilation began with a letter, dated 1 March 1997, to Penlee House Gallery & Museum, Penzance, Cornwall.The first edition, launched on 2 July 1999, listed 56 names, mainly the core members of the Colony. Eighteen were resident in Newlyn on 5 April 1891, the day of the census. The second edition, published on 5 November 2004, listed 120 names.The third edition, published in 2009, listed 150 names.

This fourth edition lists over 160 names and includes the key details of many little-known artists, both members of the Newlyn Colony itself and visitors who came to paint in this remote Cornish fishing village. Fifty-six of these artists contributed to one or more of the four contemporary group exhibitions featuring Cornish colonies. The first was at London’s Dowdeswells’ gallery in 1890. The second was held in Nottingham, in 1894. The third was held in 1902, again in London, at Whitechapel Art Gallery. The other was the Inaugural Exhibition of the Passmore Edwards Art Gallery, Newlyn, in 1895, which included invited artists, such as Sir George Clausen and Lord Leighton.

The phrase ‘’ appears in the January 1887 issue of The Art Journal, suggesting an even earlier usage. That same year the West Cornwall Art Union exhibition opened on the same day as the new Penzance Art Museum, 21 September. In its review, The Cornish Telegraph states: “The ‘Newlyn School’ is well represented, most of its principal members being exhibitors”. No fewer than 59 of these artists contributed to the WCAU.

Newlyn may not have been as cosmopolitan as St Ives, but who would have thought that no fewer that 12 Cornish artists were associated with the Colony in its heyday, 29 women artists, 25 Birmingham and West Midlands artists, or that 23 of the artists were born outside .

In 1899 the Forbeses founded the Newlyn School of , bringing this survey to a natural close. There is, obviously, so much more to be discovered about the artists who came to Newlyn. With this in mind, I can only hope that this edition will at least prove to be a very useful reference. A Checklist.

This final edition is dedicated to all the people who made my life worthwhile.

Thank you. Everyone. George, London, 2020.

36 NOTES

Bateman: The date of birth is from “an entry in the Family Bible that belonged to his father”, Robin Bateman, the artist’s great-nephew, letters, 10 June and 12 August, 1998. The date of birth was also added in the register of baptisms, when the artist was baptized together with two other siblings in 1851, in London (I.G.I./Guildhall Library, London). The date and place of death is taken from the Certified Copy of Death Record, kindly supplied by the Clerk and Recorder’s Office, Government Centre, Lacey Boulevard, Hanford, Kings County, California, USA. My thanks for his help with this entry to Tom Cross, author, The Shining Sands, Westcountry Books and The Lutterworth Press, 1994. Birch, S. J.: The birth certificate states that the artist was born in Liscard, but the exact address is not given (G.R.O.). The 1881 Census states that the mother was born in Liscard, but that both the artist and his father were born in Egremont (RG11/3951/93/21 & 22, P.R.O.). Allowing for the necessary standardization, the headings on the 1871 Census form read: ‘Village of Egremont; Township of Liscard; Local Borough of Wallasey’ (RG10/3754/34/5, P.R.O.). In a letter dated 19 February 1999, the Office of the Chief Executive of the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral states: “Egremont is a small district of Wallasey. Liscard is a similar district … which adjoins Egremont. However the area generally is referred to as ‘Wallasey’.”

Detmold: My thanks to the French officials for the copy of the death certificate, dated 16 March 2001. There is no central index of deaths in France. Paris alone is served by 20 register offices. My thanks to the Witt Library, Courtauld Institute of Art, Somerset House, Strand, London WC2R 0RN and Manchester Art Gallery, Mosley Street, Manchester M2 3JL, for their help with this entry. Information obtained from the Witt Library, lead to the discovery that Manchester Art Gallery held a letter written by the artist’s widow, in 1927, in which Mrs Julie M. Detmold, as well as giving the artist’s dates and places of both birth and death, adds that he was buried at Père Lachaise cemetery. My thanks to the superintendent of the cemetery for his reply, dated 5 March 2001, which made it possible to apply to the correct register office for the death certificate.

37 Suthers: There is no doubt that John Lees Suthers and Leghe Suthers are one and the same. Suthers was in Brittany in 1882 and a picture of what appears to be a Breton subject is signed ‘Lees Suthers’ (1). From about 1884, he signed his pictures ‘Leghe Suthers’, although his family continued to refer to him as ‘Lees’ in their letters (2). The artist’s parents were Mary and Charles Suthers (1822- 1898), and he had a sister, Mrs Gertrude Mary Marchant (1857-1946). Mary Suthers died in 1895. Her maiden name was Lees, and she was born, c1830, at Park Bridge, near Oldham (3). She was related to the Lees family, the owners of the then Park Bridge ironworks. Two family trees of the Lees family name the artist as ‘Lees Suthers’. Both agree that in 1625, an ancestor is recorded as ‘Edward Lees of Hazlehurst’, and one states that in 1422 an ancestor is recorded as ‘Tom or Tomelyn of the Leghes of Hazlehurst’ (2). ‘Lees’ and ‘Leghes’ are variants of early Lancastrian words to describe a type of land, and ‘Hazlehurst’ describes a location. It happens that, today, there is a Lees east of Oldham and a Hazelhurst on the outskirts of Ashton-under-Lyne. As Leghe Suthers, the artist appears on two census forms, in 1891, at Newlyn, which he first visited in 1883, and in 1901 (2 and 4). Fred Hall may have been at Porlock in 1890 when Suthers passed through on his way to Newlyn, but in 1901 Suthers was living at Porlock, a boarder in a lodging house. Another resident, the assistant to the keeper, was Lucy Mitchell (1859-1944). In April 1924, Lucy Mitchell registered the death of John Lees Suthers, and was the main beneficiary of his 1914 Will. In her Will, signed on 19 February 1943, among other items, not only does she leave a legacy to a person “in token of her kindness to me when at The Cleeve [ where Suthers died ] in July 1924”, but, to a nephew, she leaves “the engraving St Valentine’s Day (Leghe Suthers)”! This corresponds to the title of the picture Suthers exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1896 (N.P.C./G.R.O.).

38 In June 2002, Denise Sage, the manager at the Porlock Visitor Centre, generously donated a photograph of ‘Mr Suthers’, obtained from the goddaughter of Lucy Mitchell, to West Cornwall Art Archive. In October 2005, she forwarded an enquiry to me, from Suzanne and Geoffrey Suthers, descendants of the family that emigrated to in 1923. Although they themselves did not have any conclusive papers, the various copies of documents, received in December 2005 and April 2006, included a copy of the 1901 Porlock census form, which led me to the Will of Lucy Mitchell. Further, as soon as she herself was told about them, in June 2006, Sue Suthers phoned me about the Lees Family Records. But it was Alice Lock, Local Studies Librarian, who suggested that I add copies of the family trees of the Lees family to my order, a suggestion which led to the discovery of the origin of the name Leghe. Having wrestled with the puzzle for so many years, I cannot thank Denise, Sue and Alice enough, for bringing the search to such an interesting conclusion. Bodilly: The artist left Newlyn to become a lawyer. My thanks to the Librarian and Keeper of the Records, The Library of The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple, London, for a detailed reply making it possible to verify the birth certificate (letter, 9 October 1997). The year and place of death is taken from an entry in a diary kept by the son, Ralph Burland Bodilly, who was a Resident Magistrate in Jamaica, then the British West Indies, at the time of his father’s death. The entry for 4 May 1926 reads: “In the morning had a long letter … my father… died near Palermo.” A photocopy of the entry, together with a covering statement, dated 25 July 1998, was kindly supplied by Miss Ursula M. Bodilly, the artist’s granddaughter. I would like to thank the people in London, Palermo, Trapani, Venice and Vienna for their assistance. I take this opportunity to thank Rolando Ferraro, a colleague, for all his translations into Italian and his encouragement. The artist’s death does not appear to have been reported to the British Consulate. There are no national records for Italy. I visited Palermo in May 2004. The city officials could not have been more helpful; a number of records were checked. I could not find an obituary in the Giornale di Sicilia. One obituary stated that the lawyer died “on the continent” (The Cornishman and Cornish Telegraph, 30 June 1926, p.6).

39 Forbes, Mrs E. A.: The registration of births did not come into operation in the province of Ontario until July 1869. In 1998, the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario, very generously sent me copies of two in-house Information Forms, letters, 9 April and 24 September. One of the forms was returned by the artist shortly before her death, the other by her husband, probably in 1916. The date of birth and the province is taken from the artist’s own Information Form. The town of birth is taken from the Information Form returned by Stanhope A. Forbes. My statement is supported by the fact that in a letter of 1886 to the artist, S.A. Forbes writes about a visit to Newlyn of a man who “has lived in Kingston and knows a friend of yours” (Forbes). The Pall Mall Gazette obituary states that the artist was born in Ottawa, and gives her age as 52 (18 March 1912, p.2).

Scully: Theo Snoddy, Dictionary of Irish Artists: 20th Century, Wolfhound Press, Dublin, 1996, gives the artist’s place and date of death. My thanks for their replies to: the office of St Finbarr’s Cemetery, Cork (where the artist is buried); Orpington Library, Kent (for the notice of death and funeral from The Orpington Times); Cork City Library (obituaries); University College Cork; Crawford Municipal Art Gallery, Cork (biographies); Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin (the loss of records in a fire perhaps made the Academy unable to confirm if the artist was a Member); National Library of Ireland, Dublin; Archives & Museum, St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London (where the artist died); City of London Coroner’s Court, London, and The Heatherley School of Fine Art, London. I would also like to thank the members of staff at the Hyde Park Family History Centre, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, London (for the microfilms of the Census of Ireland 1901 [see 89/16/17/Cork] and the indexes to registrations, General Register Office, Republic of Ireland); The British Library, Newspaper Library, Colindale, London (for the microfilms of 1858 Irish newspapers), and the Irish Tourist Board, London (for the local knowledge of its staff and map of Cork!). I visited Cork and the artist’s grave in March 2004. My thanks to the Cork Archives Instititute and the Valuation Office, Dublin. The information obtained was conclusive and made it possible to confirm that the notice of a birth in The Constitution or, Cork Advertiser referred to the artist. My thanks, also, to a family for showing me their pictures by Scully.

40 41 This unique, scholarly little book is invaluable for collectors, art historians, galleries and all who are interested in the Newlyn School of Artists.

The checklist gives the dates and places of birth and death of 165 artists – both colonists and visitors – together with a date when an artist either exhibited a picture from a Newlyn address, or with Newlyn in the title, or inscribed a date on a picture of Newlyn or is known to have visited Newlyn between 1880 and 1900.

Much of the material gives brand new information.

At last, the definitive listing of the Newlyn School artists – a great achievement! Christopher Wood (1941–2009)
