Description: LISTED HERE A CHARMING PRINT FROM THE ARCHIVES.IMAGE IS 50 YEARS OLD NEWLY MOUNTED BUT NOT FRAMED WALKING THROUGH THE PARK AND IS THAT REALLY A WHALE AS REMEMBERED BY ARTIST HELEN BRADLEY AS A CHILD IN EDWARDIAN TIMES AND THE MEMORY PAINTED BY HER IN LATER LIFE. IMAGE SIZE: 9.5" x 7" CONDITION: 50 YEARS OLD PERFECTMOUNTED BUT NOT FRAMEDABOUT THIS PICTURE George and I loved to walk home through the park after we'd been shopping in Oldham. Mother used to say, "It's because they like to see the ducks." But it wasn't. It was the black lump in the middle of the park lake that fascinated us. Grandma had told us the story of Jonah and the Whale, and one afternoon when we were walking by the lake I asked Grandma if a Whale could get in. "Well," she said, "if it did, it certainly couldn't get out." George and I were sure that the thing they called an island was really a Whale's back, and the more we looked at it the more sure we were that it had moved a bit nearer the landing-stage. ABOUT THE ARTISTBorn in Lees, a village outside Oldham, in 1900, Helen Bradley was over sixty when she began to paint — to show her small granddaughter what life was like when she herself was a child. To date she has held three exhibitions, two at the Mercury Gallery in London and one in Los Angeles. At her last London exhibition in 1970, every one of her paintings had been sold before opening day. 'The enchantment of the season,' said the International Herald Tribune, `and better than whole volumes of social history.' Compared to Grandma Moses, admired by Lowry, Helen Bradley's work have always bee in astonishing demand.
