NOWELL, P. H. ([dates unknown], artist).  A collection of c.55 original pen-and-ink drawings on paper or card, four with watercolour, most signed "P. H. Nowell" or with his initials or monogram, a few dated between 1881 and 1895, various sizes, the smallest 100 x 60mm, the largest 260 x 330mm. The artist of these skilful and witty satirical drawings is unknown and unrecorded. In them, he targets politicians and public figures of the day (sometimes with the deft appropriation of images from contemporary advertising), compares the benefits and pitfalls of rural and metropolitan life, and sometimes takes a markedly unchivalrous swipe at the character of women in general. His address is given variously as Honeywell Road, Wandsworth, Clarendon House, Mortlake and 27 Chancery Lane. He is not listed in Benezit. (c.55)
