Four interesting water colour prints showing York’s Bars in the 1879 / 1880 period.
They are by Thomas Dudley, a British artist born 1857, died 1935. FOYW have the originals, bought at Duggleby Stephenson auctioneers in Murton.

We also have an original first edition set of prints from drawings by Edwin Ridsdale-Tate, the York-based architect and artist (1862-1922), including this one of Fishergate Postern Tower:
These are all part of a collection we are forming of the works of artists who have used the walls and towers of York as their subject matter and inspiration, both artists of the past like these two, and contemporary artists, including ones we are commissioning to do works especially for us.
