Framed.

William Meredith (1851 - 1916) was born in Manchester. He was described as a thorough Bohemian and entertaining conversationalist. He became well known for his black and white pictures.

At the age of twelve he attended evening classes at the School of Art in the Royal Manchester Institution and then entered the Manchester Academy where he was elected a Sociate in 1872, and a member two years later. He became a member of the Brasenose Club. His subjects were mainly seaside and country landscapes, often on a large scale and painted entirely outdoors. North Wales, Surrey, Brittany and Normandy were his favourite haunts.
