As mentioned, the scans are from a collection which was held at Ramsgate Library and I've no idea where the pictures (and titles) originated. <br /><br />I spent many hours with Charles Busson identifying various views of Ramsgate, and as previously mentioned I hope to put titles to the pictures at some stage.

He took great pleasure in asking visiting dignitaries what they thought about the paintings. If the replies were anything to go by, they knew less about art than I did and that was damn all.<br /><br />Fast forward to the present day. Decision makers don't seem to have progressed very much over time. I wonder if it was a relative of my art master from the 60's who sold the idea of Turner Contemporary in Margate.<br /><br />So far I haven't yet met anyone who is even vaguely enthusiastic about Turner Contemporary, but I suppose I must be mixing with the wrong crowd.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-3750120480263070252010-02-14T20:56:45.230+00:002010-02-14T20:56:45.230+00:00Hello Michael
