This is a high resolution scan of an original watercolour by the Victorian / Edwardian artist and illustrator, May Chatteris Winder, née Fisher (1874-1910). It depicts the harbour of the seaside town of St Ives, Cornwall, England. It was painted in 1910 while May was on holiday with the established landscape painter, William Smallwood Winder (1869-1910), whom she married in 1904, and their son Arthur. Today, St Ives is a mecca for artists and has a renowned art gallery, Tate St Ives, as well as a thriving tourist industry. May was born near Manchester in north west England. After studying at the Manchester Municipal School of Art, she became an accomplished book illustrator and bookplate designer under her maiden name of May Chatteris Fisher. In 1901 and 1904, she illustrated two books of children’s fairy tales for the publishers Sherratt & Hughes: ‘Ignoramus’ by E. Todd and ‘Pixie’ by Frances Reddaway. In 1902, her works were praised in a survey, published in New York, of female bookplate designers on both sides of the Atlantic. From 1904, May and William lived in the English Lake District and were founder members of the Lake Artists Society. D1151.B3739
