Antiques and Collectibles

I went to an show in 2006, that was at the Lygon arms, Broadway. The exhibitor was Sue Macartney-Snape who has the day job of illustrating topical characters in the Telegraph, I think the area in the Telegraph was called the “Social Stereotypes” section. I had wanted to buy one of Sue Macartney Snape’s prints at the show but found myself in the annoying circumstance of having no cash to spend.

I have since heard how fashionable her pieces have become with her caricatures eagerly sought after by many members of high society. Personally I’m sure that many of the characters Sue Macartney Snape illustrates have several of her caricature paintings secreted away somewhere in there houses. I digress once again, I went looking for some of her work online and found a few sites that allowed me to buy prints of her work.

I specifically liked the print “collecting cuttings” with the gorgeous characters that she makes feel so bright and happy among the structure of an English garden reminding me of relatives getting their heads together over Corporate fundraising. I had Sue Macartney Snape’s print sent to me via the mail and it now has pride of place in my Fitted kitchen. There was a limited run on the prints of six hundred and each print was 22” X 18” without a mount. A picture framing company mounted and framed the print and was really pleased with the finished product.

If you haven’t had the delight of looking at her artwork should check her out as she has a extravagant take on the weird hierarchy that is British society.
