John Cyril Harrison (1898-1985) was born in Wiltshire and started drawing at an early age. Following service in the First World War, he studied at London’s Slade School of Art and later moved to Norfolk, where apart from extensive travels, he spent the rest of his life. Much of his work was closely associated with the birdlife of the broads and every year he donated a watercolour to the Norfolk Naturalists Trust. In 1949, Harrison wrote and illustrated his most popular book, Bird Portraits, followed two years later by the illustrations for Jean Delacour’s monograph The Pheasants of the World.

George Edward Lodge (1860-1954), wildlife artist, naturalist and falconer, was born at Horncastle in Lincolnshire. As a child he was fascinated by taxidermy, stuffing his first owl at the age of twelve. After studying at the Lincoln School of Art he travelled widely, visiting Sri Lanka, Japan, Scandinavia and the West Indies. He was also a prolific illustrator, best remembered for Dr. Bannerman’s twelve volumes of The Birds of the British Isles.

Sir Peter Markham Scott, CH, CBE, DSC & Bar, FRS, FZS (1909-1989), the only child of Robert Falcon Scott, was two years old when his father died. In a last letter to his wife, Captain Scott advised: “make the boy interested in natural history if you can; it is better than games.”

The younger Scott initially read Natural Sciences at Trinity College, Cambridge, but graduated in the History of Art in 1931. During WW2, he designed the Western Approaches ship camouflage scheme, which disguised the look of ship superstructure using various shades of paint. Scott’s BBC natural history series, Look, ran from 1955 to 1969 and made him a household name. Scott was knighted in 1973 for his contribution to the conservation of wild animals: he was one of the founders of the World Wildlife Fund and designed its panda logo.

Archibald Thorburn (1860-1935) was born at Viewfield House, Midlothian, his father a portrait miniaturist to Queen Victoria. Thorburn’s monumental British Birds, which first appeared in 1915-16, met with huge popularity. His paintings were regularly exhibited at the RA and he designed their first Christmas card for the RSPB in 1899.

Thorburn’s work was not only the first to be reproduced in this way, it was also a departure in emphasis from the previous generation of scientifically accurate bird painters - John Gould, Edward Lear and John James Audubon - in favour of breathing life into the subjects depicted.

More than eighty years after his death, Archibald Thorburn’s depictions of British birdlife and mammals are still the best loved, and most widely reproduced, wildlife pictures in Britain.

From the Studio of Steve Winterburn 207 - 211

Steve Winterburn, artist Steve began his art and sculpting career in 1992 following a previous career in engineering and design. He is self-taught and held his first exhibition in 1996. At this exhibition he met wildlife artist Alan Hunt who gave him his first commission.

From this time, he was able to travel all over the world to get reference and inspiration for his art. Steve has also used his art to help animal conservation and donates a percentage of all sales to the charity Project Africa.

Steve’s popularity has caused him to be inundated with requests for commissions, exhibitions and demonstrations of his sculpting technique. He has now built his own foundery at his studio and begun to cast his own works as the Masters of the old European tradition, such as Rodin, were used to. Each of these sculptures are handcrafted and finished by himself.

Steve Winterburn has also achieved success at other major auction house. He also produced a life size tiger for the centre piece of the NATO conference at the ICC in Birmingham and commissions for the Duke of Edinburgh Awards.

His work is collected internationally by both private and corporate collectors. It is also sold in some of the most fashionable and prestigious galleries in London.
