Single Card - T.H. Victor Newlyn Penzance Cornwall
Newlyn - Thomas Herbert Victor (1894-1980)
Having shown exceptional artistic promise at school, on leaving, Victor went to art school in Penzance and was granted a scholarship from the first term there. Further scholarships were offered him to study at the Slade School and other famous establishments.
He would not leave Mousehole however and never travelled further than Truro during his lifetime. Nevertheless his artistic abilities flourished and his watercolour paintings of the harbours and streets of all the local fishing villages, apart from their artistic merit, are of great historic value as a record of Mousehole, Newlyn, St. Ives etc. as they were 100 years ago.
