Hamlet BANNERMAN
1851
1895
fl 1879-1891

Born in Marylebone, London, the 1891 Census lists him as an Artist Painter living in Penzance. Benezit notices only his work prior to this move to Cornwall, giving dates of fl 1879-81. By 1890 Bannerman and his wife were living in Great Marlow, Buckinghamshire. His style of social realism fitted well into the Newlyn style of story-telling paintings.
