F S Smith in Holderness

Frederick Schultz Smith was born at Worthing in 1860. He came to live in Hull and became a prolific artist working in the late nineteenth century and right up to his death in September 1925.

Best known for his black and white, pen and ink drawings of Hull streets and buildings, Smith also made a number of excursions into Holderness to sketch scenes in Hedon and surrounding villages. On occasions he added watercolours to his drawings.

The Hedon Museum is now planning a major exhibition, to take place in 2012, of work by F.S. Smith entitled, “F.S. Smith in Holderness”.

The Museum Trustees are keen to hear from anyone who owns a picture of a Holderness scene by F.S. Smith, or can help in any related way. If so, please contact Martin Craven by telephoning or e-mail the museum.
