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).

Thank you Linna for pointing out my mistake - quite right.
