The Arts In Berwick -- Visual Arts -- Painting
W.F.Vallance



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.
