Lot 257: W. Heaton Cooper, Grasmere, Royle Publications Print
A framed landscape print of Grasmere in the English Lake District, based on an original work by W. Heaton Cooper. The scene is rendered in a muted palette of greys, blues, and ochres, depicting the lake and the surrounding fells in a style characteristic of the artist’s watercolour technique. Centred on the lower margin, several lines of printed text are visible: the title GRASMERE, the artist’s name W. Heaton Cooper, and a reference code Print Ref. ZS 2768. To the left, a printed line reads Printed in England by W. R. Royle & Son Ltd. The right side of the margin features a publisher’s mark for Royle Publications Ltd. The print is presented within a dark wooden frame featuring a gold-toned inner slip. An orange rectangular adhesive price or inventory sticker reading 257 is located on the top left corner of the glass, and a white rectangular adhesive sticker with the number 10 10 is on the top right corner.
