Item 6: "Skenfrith" 36 on drawing; "Skenfrith Monnow" on mounting. This is NOT a print but an ORIGINAL artwork; No professionally verified authorship. 
A lovely original pen and ink drawing on Endsor and Newton Bristol Board signed with the single letter "K," dated 36 for 1936. This is one from a large collection of topographical views mainly from the lake district and all dated between 1936 and 1940; most of these are of bridges and churches. These may be for a book or for publication. Please note this is an original pen and ink drawing and NOT a print. I have tried to research the artist (definitely a professional artist) - so far my best attribution is to Walter Monckton Keesey A.R.E. 1887 -1970 who published several sketchbooks of his topographical work and pen and ink drawings for postcard publication, and sometimes signed his work with a single "K." 

Bridge over the River Monnow, Skenfrith Monmouthshire. Spanning the River Monnow and connecting Wales with England this old stone bridge date from 1824. In this particular drawing the artist drawn the tower of Skenfrith Castle (Welsh: Castell Ynysgynwraidd), a ruined castle no afar from the Bridge. Skenfrith is regarded as one of the most beautiful places in Wales. Monmouthshire (Welsh: Sir Fynwy) is a county in south east Wales. The name derives from the historic county of Monmouthshire of which it covers the eastern 60%. The largest town is Abergavenny. Other towns and large villages are Caldicot, Chepstow, Monmouth, Magor and Usk.

Dimensions: loosely mounted on 12" x 10" inches sheets, and actual drawing portion is approximately 6.55 x 5.45" inches.
