George Vicat Cole

He exhibited at the British Institution at the age of nineteen, and was first represented at the Royal Academy in 1853.

His election as an associate of this institution took place in 1870, and he became an Academician ten years later.

[1] Most of his subjects were found in the counties of Surrey and Sussex, and along the banks of the Thames.

One of his largest pictures, The Pool of London, was bought by the Chantrey Fund Trustees in 1888, and was shown in the Tate Gallery.

He may have been related to the society portraitist Philip Tennyson Cole.
