Lot 212: A Trio of Framed Cumbrian Scenes by Tom Cross, P. Buckley, and S. Graham
This lot comprises three framed monochrome works depicting locations in Cumbria and the Lake District. The primary item is a silver gelatin photograph showing a row of leisure boats moored at a jetty, with handwritten ink inscriptions on the buff-toned paper mount reading Tom Cross at the top right and Lakeside, Windermere at the bottom right. The photograph is housed in a glazed oak frame. Accompanying this is a small etching of a village building viewed through a stone archway, titled in the margin CARTMEL and signed in pencil P. Buckley, presented in a narrow black frame. The third piece is a monochrome print of a mountain lake scene, signed within the image S. Graham and titled vertically on the right margin HEAD OF WINDERMERE, set in a dark wood frame with a gilt-effect inner slip.
Condition report:
All three mounts exhibit significant age-related toning and some minor foxing. The frames show light surface scuffing but remain structurally sound. There is no evidence of silver mirroring or creases to the silver gelatin photograph.
