ART: Loch Oich, SCOTLAND - Invergarry Castle - Henry Bowser Wimbush

Description: ART: Loch Oich, SCOTLAND - Invergarry Castle - Henry Bowser Wimbush: Invergarry Castle in the Scottish Highlands was the seat of the Chiefs of the Clan MacDonell of Glengarry, a powerful branch of the Clan Donald. The castle's position overlooking Loch Oich on Creagan an Fhithich – the Raven's Rock – in the Great Glen, was a strategic one in the days of clan warfare. It is not certain when the first structure was erected on Creagan an Fhithich but there are at least two sites prior to the present castle. Henry Bowser Wimbush (11 March 1858–5 May 1943) was an English landscape painter, book illustrator and postcard artist. Born in London, England, Wimbush first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1888 and went on to mount several other exhibitions there over the years. He also exhibited at the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colors and Royal Society of British Artists in London, and in other cities in England. Working initially in oils, he made the switch to watercolors, painting throughout England, Scotland, Wales and the Channel Islands. He provided illustrations for several books published by A & C Black and was the leading artist for postcard company Raphael Tuck & Sons. In 1880 Wimbush married Margaret Sillar - they went on to have 11 children. After her death in 1927, he married Emily Dremel and lived in Taunton, Somerset where he died in 1943. Two of his daughters were also artists - Winifred (1884-1958), and Olive (1901- 1985). This White Border Era (1915-30) postcard is in good condition. Tuck's Oilette. Scottish Highlands. No. 9731.
