W.L. Wyllie [pencil signature]
London: Pub.d June 2nd 1924 by R. Dunthorne & Son, 5 Vigo Street W.
Drypoint etching, 165 x 380mm. 6½ x 15". Outside of frame 385 x 580mm (15¼ x 23").
A view of Deptford, looking Westwards along the Thames from near Deptford Creek. William L. Wyllie [1851-1931] was born on July 5th 1851, in London. He attended Heatherley’s art school until the age of fifteen, leaving to study at the Royal Academy Schools, where he won the Turner Medal at the age of eighteen. In the early 1870’s Wyllie became an illustrator for the Graphic and also held several exhibitions at the galleries of the Fine Art Society. In 1889 he was elected an associate of the Royal Academy, where he exhibited his work in 1901. Wyllie spent much of his time at sea working for the White Star Shipping Line. He also served in the Royal Navy during WWI, painting seascapes and coastal landscapes. His etchings and watercolours showing working life on the Thames and the Medway brought him widespread popularity. Later in his life he played an important role in the restoration of the Victory. Wyllie died on the 6th April 1931 in Hampstead, and scouts from the 1st Portchester Sea Scout Troop, which he had founded, rowed his coffin across Portsmouth Harbour for his burial at Portchester Castle.
