Painting title or place (?) on back of oil painting...
« on: Tuesday 17 January 23 11:56 GMT (UK) »
This is not strictly genealogical in nature, but I know you folks are fantastic at deciphering old handwriting.

The label is on the back of an oil painting by James Edward Grace (1851-1908). It was exhibited in 1807 at the Dudley Gallery. At that time he was living at Bedford Park, Chiswick, but had lived in Milford, Surrey in the 1880s.

So far I've got:

Dudley oil
East [?]
James E Grace

I can't find anything which is a place or a meaningful title...  Here's hoping you can!

Many thanks
Paul

Just thought about the sun setting when describing the picture....It's not "Last Gleam"  perhaps...?

I think it is most likely as the down strokes on the other words have a strong slope to the left. There is no sign of such a mark on/around the tear or before it.

Easy Shean (a misspelled East Sheen) - quite local to Chiswick.
