    The first image is so tenderly rendered. I am not familiar with this artist, so I am happy that you introduced me.

    Sorry, this isn't the same person who painted Old Moreton Hall - that was George Theaker, Harry George's father. He was also an artist and was head of the Wedgewood Institute in Burslem in the 1800s (sorry, don't know the exact dates).
