James Pollard (British 1755-1838) Royal Day Mail in a snowy landscape; and The Woodford Coach at the Eagle, Snaresbrook Oil on canvas Each signed lower left 35 x 46cm (13¾ x 18 in.) (2) Provenance: Edward Macnamara, Private Collection Mrs Brandon, Private Collection Sotheby's, London, 19th April, 1961, lot 167 and 169. Removed from a London Belgravia property, designed by Nina Campbell in the 1970's Literature: Selway, N.C., The Regency Road, The coaching prints of James Pollard London, 1957, no.140 and 142 Exhibited: London, Post Office Exhibition, 1890. Condition Report: Both canvases have been relined but they are on their original stretchers which are providing good support. There are minor frame abrasions to the edges and fine surface cracks across the pictures, but the paint layer appears stable. They are quite difficult to read under ultra-violet light as they both have a thick layer of discoloured varnish and surface dirt. There is most probably a thin wash of retouching in areas of the sky, which may cover minor losses and surface cracks. Generally, however the figures and horses seem untouched. The second picture (The Woodford Coach) has areas of paint shrinkage and cracking to the black pigments on the side of the carriage. They would benefit from a clean and new varnish They are presented in modern gilded and painted frames. Condition Report Disclaimer
