Salisbury (Francis Owen [Frank]) Frescoes in The Queen Victoria Memorial Calcutta, 1921,...

Salisbury (Francis Owen [Frank])
Frescoes in The Queen Victoria Memorial Calcutta, 1921, oblong folio (300 x 480mm) of twelve cut-out prints in monotone and colour of Salisbury's designs, mounted on card leaves, each numbered and signed (some also captioned) in pencil by the artist. Contemporary half morocco over red cloth stamped 'V.R' (for Queen Victoria) in gilt to upper cover; the binding a little rubbed, the contents good.
Salisbury was known for his large oils and murals commemorating important national events and royal ceremonial; his public works include The Trial of Katharine of Aragon for the House of Lords, the Great Artists of Chelsea for Chelsea Town Hall, and works for the Royal Exchange and Liverpool Town Hall. His portraits included five Presidents of the United States, five British Prime Ministers, and three Archbishops of Canterbury.
A scarce commemorative album, obviously from a strictly limited print run, perhaps issued only to select dignitaries at the 1921 opening ceremony for the Victoria Memorial Hall at Calcutta (Kolkata) (1)
