Limited Edition Prints

From the imagination of my father LEWIS C BENNETT
c. 1908-1995

Come two limited edition prints (850 copies). They are signed and numbered by the artist, printed on 300gm acid-free paper using light-fast inks

Both large prints are very colourful and highly detailed.

Awayday, a steam train in a busy railway station
&
The Fairground an old fashioned fair.

Awayday

Image size 49 x 32 cm 19ź x 12˝ inches

This limited edition print shows a wonderful cross-section of life portrayed in a crowded railway station. For example, look at the lad running towards his grandparents or the little girl crying. She has dropped her ball on the track and Mr. Porter won't get it for her because he's frightened of the rat hidden in the recess under the platform. There is something new to see every time you look at the picture.

The Fairground

Image size 55 x 34.5 cm 21˝ x 13˝ inches

The detail in this limited edition print is exceptional. Like all Lewis Bennett's work it is entirely from his imagination. Most of the names shown represent people important in his life. He always liked to include animals in his paintings and had a great eye for detail, even to the rubbish left behind outside the fence. A real treasure for all those who knew and loved the old-fashioned fairgrounds.

---------------------------------------

I thought I would add this last section to my web site as I feel it is in the same theme as keeping alive video memories from the past. He painted these after he retired and had so much interest from people who saw them that after a suggestion from one of my customers he contacted a publisher who published them.

My Father died in 1995 but I feel that his paintings keep his memories alive.

Unframed prints can be purchased for Ł36.00 + Ł3.50 P/P
