Artists of Winchester, 1850-1950 by Ellen Knight
This illustrated history of the artists who lived and practiced in Winchester contains new information about the town's artists and presents them in an attractive booklet that focuses on their career and activities in town. Included are nationally known landscape painter J. Foxcroft Cole and etcher W.H.W. Bicknell. Locally, Edward Brackett was as famous for his octagon house as his sculpture, and Ernest Dudley Chase's sketches of Winchester appeared on town calendars for many years. Women such as Adelaide Cole Chase, Eva Cowdery, and Annie Nowell were prominent for their portrait and still life paintings. What emerges is a picture of Winchester as a center of artistic activity, a place that valued its beautiful landscapes and promoted its culture.
