Frederick Booty

[5] The catalogue was partly based on earlier works produced in Belgium and France.

[7] Booty also contributed to the Monthly Advertiser, published by Edward Moore & Co., in 1862.

Booty's watercolour landscape pictures are still regularly featured in art auctions in Britain.

Although originally based in Brighton, his later work is mainly of scenes from Yorkshire, including Hull and the ports of Scarborough and Whitby.

He also painted Yorkshire panoramas and the peacocks at Haddon Hall, Derbyshire.
