Author Description

It was January 2000 at a local antiques fair at Potter Bar, Hertfordshire that my husband and I purchased our first Bennett print. We bought it because my husband said he liked it (a very good reason to buy art or antiques). We arrived home and I had a really good look at the print, it was dated and signed F. M. Bennett. Not knowing the artist I decided to look him up. From the print I could tell that he was a Victorian genre artist, but what really attracted me was the quality of the artwork, it was so beautifully painted and he had a well focused eye for detail. Before I had chance to gather any more information we had purchased second print and so our passion for Frank Moss Bennett had started. I hope that as you read my book you will also discover more about this great artist and learn of his life and the times he lived in. Frank Moss Bennett's original paintings are now fetching considerable amounts of money at the auctions and are becoming very collectable.
