FINE ANTIQUE PRINTS

(The Rain Storm)

William Henry Walker (1878-1961) was a British painter of children with a particular fondness for fairies and architectural subjects. He exhibited at major art galleries between 1900 and 1926 including the Royal Academy, but most often at Walker’s Galleries, London, a family business. He illustrated the 1907 edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland published by Lane.
