Sir William Nicholson (1872-1949) was an English painter of still-life, landscape and portraits, also known for his work as a wood-engraver, illustrator, author of children's books and designer for the theatre.
As a printmaker Sir William Nicholson achieved fame through three major works, "London Types", "An Almanac of Twelve Sports" and "An Illustrated Alphabet". "Almanac" was produced in 1898, with words by Rudyard Kipling. Copies are highly sought after indeed. The woodblocks used to print "Almanac" are on permanent loan at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Note, however, that the majority of prints on the open market, whilst being from the 1890s, are lithographic reproductions rather than having been printed from the woodblocks, and are therefore not hand-coloured. This print is such a lithograph. It is June in the "Almanac".
At the auction price, this print is great value for money, and a delight for any cricket fan. The print itself as displayed is 19.5 x 19.5cm, with the frame at 35.5 x 36.5cm. The frame is in excellent condition, and my guess would be that it is oak. A beauty!
