Thomson (Hugh) Original artwork for 'Highways and Byways of Surrey'

Thomson (Hugh, illustrator, 1860-1920) Original artwork for 'Highways and Byways of Surrey' by Eric Parker, c.70 pencil and ink drawings, several in watercolour, many signed by the artist, mounted on card, occasional light spotting and adhesive stains, a little rubbed and scuffed, [c.1908]; and other sketches by the artist on paper, v.s. (sm.qty) *** Full list of illustrations available on request. "Mild-mannered and retiring, with a gift for friendship, Thomson was both popular and influential in his time. Although he was never a confident draughtsman, his grasp of design and his 'unerring sense of period and literary sympathy' (Jamison) gave his best work a lasting charm." - Oxford DNB.
