The late Mr. George Cole, landscape-painter, 1883. Engraving from a photograph by Van der Weyde, of the Electric Light Photographic Process. 'The father of Mr. Vicat Cole, R.A., whose death, in his seventy-fourth year, we lately recorded, was one of the oldest members of the Society of British Artists. He commenced his career at Portsmouth as a portrait painter, and was also a successful painter of animal life, but on removing to London finally settled to landscape painting. He first exhibited in 1840, and frequently afterwards, at the British Institution. One picture, about the year 1845, "Don Quixote and Sancho Panza with Rosinante in Don Pedro's Hut," attracted much attention. Amongst his earlier works may be mentioned "Pride and Humility" (the property of the late Countess Waldegrave), an engraving of which was published by Messrs. Henry Graves and Co.; "A Welsh Interior," "Ebenbergh Castle," "Llandogo on the Wye," "Homestead in Caernarvonshire," and "The Last Load." His more recent works will be remembered by visitors to the Suffolk-street Galleries. In 1850 he was elected a member of the Society of British Artists. In 1864 the Society for the Encouragement of the Fine Arts awarded him their medal for a landscape'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
