BCD HParty A Hearty Welcome adj DSC07533
Possibly the puzzle sold in Lot 2 in the auction at the Nov 2019 BCD meeting, from the collection of Dave Cooper. The painting, Hearty Welcome, dated 1899 by Edgar Bundy, was reproduced in the 1903 Pears Album. (The painting Little Bobs was also a Pears album print.)
This jigsaw was assembled at the Feb 2020 House Party. It is very attractively cut but seems to have sustained some damage in the lower right corner - lifting and missing paper. This photo was taken before dinner on the first day, Friday 21st Feb at 18.13. BCD members chose to work first on the most colourful areas.
Another example from my files was posted in the Nov 2019 album. Like many of the best vintage jigsaws that one came in a plain brown cardboard box with a simple typed/printed label. That 687pc jigsaw measures 28x20in and now contains 1repl, an edgepiece, and is cut in an intricate jagged style. I bought it in May 2018 from another BCD member.
Edgar Bundy ARA (1862 in Brighton – 1922 in London) was an English painter.
Bundy had no formal training but learned some of his craft at the studio of Alfred Stevens. Bundy specialised in historical paintings in oil and watercolour, usually in a very detailed and narrative style, a genre which was very popular in the Edwardian time Bundy lived in. He exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1915 and at the Paris Salon in 1907. In the Tate Gallery is his Royal Academy painting of 1905 entitled The Morning of Sedgemoor depicting the Duke of Monmouth's rebels resting in a barn before the battle.
Influences in Bundy's work include Pre-Raphaelites such as John Millais, William Morris and the works of John Ruskin.
(Of the paintings I've looked at online only one has a similar theme or style to this painting.)
