Wimbush, Winifred
Picture
Winifred Wimbush (1884-1958) came from a family of artists. She was the daughter of Henry Wimbush (1858-1943) who usually signed his work as H B or Henry B Wimbush and sister of Olive (1901-1985) who was also an artist.


The picture to the left, "Guernsey Flower Girl" painted by Henry B Wimbush appeared as the frontispiece to Edith Carey's The Channel Islands, published 1904. Winifred is said to be the model. If so, this was when she was about 16-18 years of age.



                                   




Winifred painted 9 sets of postcards for Tuck publishers.
