THREE WATERCOLOURS BY THE CELEBRATED AUSTRALIAN ARTIST PERCY F.S. SPENCE (1868-1933).

Early in his career Spence worked as an illustrator in Sydney for the Daily Telegraph and Illustrated Sydney News. It was, however, as a portraitist that his reputation grew. From 1915 to 1926 he established a studio in London. An edition of Black Beauty with illustrations by Spence was published by A. & C. Black in 1932.
