Excerpt from George J. Pinwell and His Works
George, J. Pinwell was one of that school of water-colour artists whose style was directly derived from the practice of drawing upon wood for book illustration. He is perhaps the most interesting personality in the little group which included Frederick Walker and Houghton, and formed one of the most interesting of modern developments in British painting. With Houghton and Walker, he died in 1875, three of our greatest book illustrators passing away in one year, but, unlike them, he has had no literary memorial erected to his honour. Of the entire group of earnest students, Pinwell was the most poetic in imagination, and the greatest colourist.
