About Augustus Osborne Lamplough
Born
1877
Died
1930
Nationality
English
Augustus Osborne Lamplough was an English painter and illustrator associated with British Orientalist art. Public references connect him with North African subjects, particularly landscapes and urban scenes, and identify watercolor as his principal medium. This combination of works on paper, atmospheric settings, and a recognizable regional focus helps explain why collectors encounter his name in watercolor and Orientalist-art catalogues. Lamplough also worked as a draftsman and illustrator, so material attributed to him can extend beyond finished watercolors. Authority records establish a stable identity across Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, RKD, and Art UK, but the collected sources do not resolve his chronology cleanly. Art UK’s record identifier and a French-language biography indicate 1877–1930, while Wikidata reports 1873–1937. Appraisily therefore treats 1877–1930 as provisional pending confirmation from an accessible institutional biography or primary record.

Common works and media
Collectors are most likely to encounter watercolors and other works on paper depicting North African landscapes, streets, buildings, or atmospheric urban views. Drawings and illustration-related material may also appear because Lamplough is identified as both an illustrator and draftsman. The collected sources do not establish a documented print edition, sculpture or ceramic practice, or catalogue-defined series, so those categories should not be implied without object-specific evidence.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisal of a work attributed to Lamplough should begin with medium and subject. Watercolors and works on paper align most closely with his documented profile, while North African landscapes and urban scenes fit the subjects repeatedly associated with him. These consistencies can inform cataloguing, but they do not authenticate a work. Signature, support, dimensions, date, condition, provenance, and documentary history still require object-specific examination. Market comparison should use genuinely comparable public auction lots, matching medium, scale, subject, attribution language, and condition wherever records disclose them. The collected source pack did not include accessible lot-level auction-house evidence or realized-price details, so it cannot support a price trend or forecast. Historical sales should be treated as context rather than a guarantee of current value.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Watercolors and other works on paper
- Orientalist works depicting North Africa
- Drawings and illustration-related material
Value drivers
- Medium and technique, including whether an object is a finished watercolor or another type of work on paper
- Subject matter, especially the relationship of a work to the artist's documented North African scenes and landscapes
- Comparison with relevant public auction records where medium, dimensions, attribution, sale date, and realized price are disclosed
Appraisal caveats
- The collected source pack did not provide accessible lot-level auction-house records, condition reports, dimensions, sale dates, or realized-price details.
- No price trend, scarcity claim, or value forecast can be supported from the collected evidence.
- Stylistic or subject-matter consistency does not establish authorship; signatures, provenance, condition, support, and documentary history require object-specific examination.
