RESEARCHING SKETCH BY UNKOWN MANCHESTER ARTIST
« on: Wednesday 07 July 04 23:19 BST (UK) »
Dear All,

I recently bought a sketch from a local auction for £16 in a job lot of pictures. It is an original sketch and not a print and is signed M.Brown and on the reverse side is written; "Original sketch Manchester, Moss Side. Last did famous mural in Central station Manchester. In Manchester Evening News 1970's"

Abit of a confusing note (Central Station is now the GMex centre and I'm not sure whether the station mural or my sketch featured in the Manchester Evening news)

What I would like to know is who the artist was and wondered if anyone had any ideas or if you could tell me where/how I could find info. about the mural mentioned.

(Please see attachements of picture of the sketch

Many thanks for any help you can offer

Kind Regards

Sorry but there doesn't seem to be an attachment!
Obvious choice would be Madox Brown I suppose. He was in Manchester when the Central Station was built but I don't know that he painted a mural for it.
