The
Border Line (The Royal Border Bridge) by William Vallance
(1886)
|
Born in Paisley, Vallance (1827-1904) did not take up art professionally
until 1857. In the 1860s he did pictures of shipping, but also visited
Ireland and Poland. He was a good friend of the painter William McTaggart
but never quite achieved the latter's freedom of expression
His picture of the Royal Border Bridge, now in the
Borough Museum, is one of a number he did of Berwick in late 1880s.
