  Spencer Vincent
  'A View of Laugharne Castle, South Wales, from the River Taaf Estuary'
  watercolour
  330 x 475
  Vincent painted a companion work of Manorbeer (sic) Castle, South Wales, c.1856, lent by his daughter to the above exhibition.
• Notes:
  The following twelve works are by Spencer Vincent R.A. (British 1825-1889), an accomplished amateur artist, lawyer and friend of fellow landscape artist Edward Lear. A memorial exhibition of his work, mainly paintings done in the Scottish Highlands, was held at the Burlington Fine Arts Club in 1890. This collection appears from the dating on some, to be from the mid-1850s, a prolific period when he visited many parts of Great Britain. Occasional ephemera associated with him, including correspondence with Lear has surfaced in New Zealand where some descendants have resided since the 1930s; these works have previous family provenance.
