Edmund Bristow 1787 – 1876
Edmund Bristow was born on 1 April 1787 at Eton and lived the whole of his life in Windsor. His father was a heraldic painter and Bristow mainly painted sporting and animal subjects, as well as landscapes which often included views of Windsor and Eton College characters of the day. His paintings were mostly small in scale, beautifully observed and with great attention to detail. He was a friend of Sir Edwin Landseer, RA (1802-1873) and it is said that he gave the young Landseer advice and help. Despite being something of a recluse with eccentric views, Bristow had some important patrons from the Court, including the Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Clarence, later William IV.

Peter Munro. 1954
Peter Munro grew up in the Scottish Highlands, where his family ran a timber and forestry company.
He gained an honours degree at the Chelsea School of Art in London but soon became disillusioned with the art world and decided to return to Scotland to work in the family business. During a visit to Canada in 1985, he was inspired both by the remarkable work of the renowned wildlife artist Robert Bateman and by the powerful, remote and raw Canadian landscapes to return more permanently to the easel and he took up painting as a full-time career in 1987.
The demand for his work continues to increase. Particularly well-known in America, where he and his work have been profiled in leading magazines, Peter Munro has now exhibited at prestigious galleries in Holland, London, America, Canada and throughout the world.
Peter Munro still lives in the Highlands of Scotland, where he gains much of his inspiration from the magnificent wildlife, countryside and golf courses around him.Exhibited : Holland & Holland Glimpses of Nature London 1996; McEwan Gallery Summer Exhibition Royal Deeside 1993-99; Howard / Mandville Gallery Animals in Art Kirkland, Washington 1998

Arthur Wardle. 1860–1949
Aged just sixteen Wardle had a piece displayed at the Royal Academy. His first exhibit was a study of cattle by the River Thames, leading to a lifelong interest in painting animals. In 1880 Wardle lived in Oakley Square, Camden, but artistic success enabled him to move to the more upmarket 34 Alma Square in St John’s Wood by 1892. Wardle was prolific; until 1936 he exhibited more than 100 works at the Royal Academy as well as the Society of British Artists at Suffolk Street.
He remains one of the widely known dog painters of the 19th and 20th Centuries, and he is particularly known for his paintings of terriers. Wardle painted what is probably the best known painting of the fox terrier in its modern form, The Totteridge XI (1897). The painting was commissioned by famed smooth fox terrier breeder Francis Redmond; Wardle painted a number of Redmond’s dogs. The original is in the gallery of The Kennel Club in London.
Arthur Wardle died on July 16, 1949.
