I have an original water colour painting of Mr Foxs Hunt Breakfast. It was painted by Gladys M Botterill and is dated xmas 1897. My mothers name is Botterill and the painting has been passed down the family to myself. The picture by Neilsen first appeared in Dec 1897 in the Penny Pictorial and is supposed to represent members of the Blankney Hunt, Lincolnshire. Gladys Botterill lived in a small village near Louth in Lincolnshire in a very well off family, which is where the Blankney hunt operated. According to family folklore passed down from grandfather the picture was supposed to be caricatures of members of the Botterill family? Currently I have no clues to how Harry B was linked to the Blankney Hunt. I just thought you might be interested in the above info. Also, I am taking the painting to an auctioneers in Driffield next week to see what they think valuation wise.<br>Regards,<br> <br>Stevestevenoreply@blogger.com
