Title:	Sketches at Boscombe, Bournemouth
Artist:	Jellicoe, John (London, 1843 - 1909)
Date:	1893
Medium:	Original Pen and Ink Drawing
Note:	John Jellicoe: A fine figure painter and illustrator, John Jellicoe studied art in London and exhibited his first drawings there in 1865. During the following fifteen years he established a strong reputation for his pen and ink drawings, paintings and watercolours which were exhibited at the Society of British Artists and at the Royal Academy. John Jellicoe was most highly regarded in the genre of figure studies and he was frequently commissioned for his work by the Illustrated London News, St. Paul's, The Windsor Magazine and The Sporting and Dramatic News. John Jellicoe also illustrated a number of children's books such as, Queen of Beauty (1894) and Cherry and Violet (1897).
	This original pen and ink drawing by John Jellicoe was commissioned by The Sporting and Dramatic News, in London. As is usual with original drawings for journals of this time, one will find small pinprick marks both in the outer margins and surrounding several images. These are registration marks used for photomechanical reproduction and thus prove that this drawing was actually employed as an illustration for the magazine on the specific date of August 26, 1893.
	John Jellicoe worked as a leading artist for The Sporting and Dramatic News for a period of over fifteen years. As the title of the journal indicates, this publication mainly dealt with entertainment and sports news of the day. John Jellicoe's drawings covered a wide range, from contemporary London theatrical events, depictions of popular English resorts and feats of sporting heroics.
	Sketches at Boscombe, Bournemouth: Boscombe, close to Bournemouth, was and is a popular English resort, famous for its beautiful woods, pier and many buildings. Jellicoe's large pen and ink drawing gives us a fascinating account of the city during the late nineteenth century. Like many illustrative drawings from this period, Sketches at Boscombe, Bournemouth is constructed with narrative-like elements, containing a central image surrounded by secondary images. The major image is entitled, "A Garden Party", and deals with festivities outside "The Burlington". The smaller images are entitled, "Boscombe Towers", "The Chalybeate Spring", "The Pier", "The Burlington" and "Among the Pines". "Among the Pines" has actually been drawn upon a separate paper and affixed the drawing. Perhaps the artist was dissatisfied with an initial drawing, or the editor felt that a further scene needed to be added. Whatever the case, this collection of drawings of Boscombe is most beautifully rendered.
	The art of pen and ink drawing reached one of its greatest eras during the second half of the nineteenth century. This artistic medium was closely allied with the rise of illustrated journals, newspapers and periodicals throughout Europe and America. Competition among the publishers was keen and the difference between success or failure often depended upon the art and illustrations found within the published pages. Thus many of the best artists of the day were regularly employed by these publishers to submit drawings of topical interest which would then be reproduced, either photomechanically or by wood engraving, to illustrate both articles and stories.
	Our modern day ideas of illustration differ significantly from those of our ancestors. We are thoroughly accustomed to the matter-of-fact qualities of the camera. In the nineteenth century, however, the artist's eye ruled and the viewer depended upon his talents not only for portraying the factual elements but for his ability to interpret these elements artistically. It is no wonder then that many of the finest artists of the time -- such as Winslow Homer, Sir John Gilbert and Arthur Boyd Houghton -- were regularly commissioned to execute drawings for the periodicals. Even Vincent van Gogh cherished for years the desire to work as an artist for the English journals.
