Hi
Not sure where to put this so it may get moved!

Can anyone shed any light on this print, the frame is about 36" X24".

Found in Derbyshire but doesnt look like a derbyshire river

Cheers

Ian

Largish pics may take a little while to download but will help zooming in

Hello try google artists name,

I think the artists name might be Ray Nicholds but I can't find any referrence to him as an artist on Google.

Nice print.

Black Knight

Looks like Roy Nockolds to me, unusual subject matter if it is him though as most of his stuff is cars and planes.

SF

Strongly suspect Streamfisher's got it right, the 'hand signature' is not very clear, but the one on the print is easily read. AVG search | Results page

Even found one reference (couldn't find the copy of the print) to 'Man landing fish' or sum such.

One way or another you've got a signed print in hand. Not as good as the original, but a real find never the less.

Looks very much like a southern chalkstream to me too.

Looks like the river test to me

Could easily be the Wye, but Knockolds was from the south, so the image probably depicts a Hampshire chalk stream.

What does the writing at the top of the print say?



''Roy Anthony Nockolds was born in London on January 24 1911. He was a self taught artist apart from taking some private lessons in figure drawing. He began sketching and drawing motoring subjects in the mid 1920′s, contributing illustrations to Autocar, Motor and Motor Sport magazines. Nockolds was described as one of the pioneers of motoring art. Best known as a motoring artist and illustrator, he was in fact a highly versatile painter, whose subjects included marine, aircraft, landscapes, portraits and dog studies.''

I'm pretty certain it's the Test. Also, I have the feeling that Roy Nockolds did a painting of Mike Hawthorn winning his World Championship in 1958 - I think! If so I believe the painting was reproduced in Hawthorn's book "Champion Year" published shortly after his death in a car accident on the Guildford by-pass.

Thanks to everyone, I did google the artist before submitting but just got the cars like above. It;s not my print its a mates . He lives in the bakewell area so it may of originally come from one of fishing themed pubs!

I'll try and find out what the text says at the top.
