About Leonard Richmond

Born

1889

Died

1965

Nationality

British

Leonard Richmond (1889–1965) was a British painter, illustrator and author born in Somerset, England. Authority records identify him as a British painter, while biographical and image-record sources place part of his career in Canada and connect him with First World War art. Collectors may encounter his name on landscape paintings, railway imagery and railway-poster designs. Public image records include scenes of Canadian railway construction and light railway engines in France, linking his practice to transport, infrastructure and wartime subjects. His documented activity therefore crosses fine art, illustration and commercial poster work rather than belonging to a clearly established movement in this source pack. The strongest identifiers for entity matching are the 1889–1965 life years and the linked Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN and Library of Congress authority records. One Wikimedia description gives a conflicting 1878 birth year; the broader authority consensus supports 1889.

Common works and media

The source pack documents Richmond as a painter and identifies railway posters as a notable part of his work. Recorded subjects include landscapes, Canadian railway construction in France, light railway engines and other First World War imagery. An object-level review is needed to distinguish an original painting or design from a printed poster or later reproduction.

Market and appraisal context

Richmond’s market context should be approached by separating paintings from railway-poster material and comparing works with closely related subjects. The collected sources associate him with landscape, railway and First World War imagery, but the pack provides no individual lot descriptions or realized-price data. It therefore cannot support a price trend or value prediction. Appraisal should begin with firm identity matching, especially because one Wikimedia description conflicts with authority records on his birth year. When public auction records are available, the most relevant comparisons will be those that match the work type and subject, not merely the artist’s name.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings
  • Railway posters and poster-related works
  • War and railway subjects

Value drivers

  1. Work type: distinguish paintings from railway-poster material when selecting comparisons.
  2. Subject alignment: railway, wartime, and landscape works should be compared with closely related subjects.
  3. Artist identity and life-date consistency should be checked because one collected image description conflicts with authority records on the birth year.
  4. Comparable public auction records are most relevant when they match the same work type and subject.

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected Appraisily page signals auction-record coverage, but the source pack contains no individual lot descriptions, sale dates, or realized-price details.
  • The available evidence does not support a price trend, scarcity claim, or value prediction.
  • Poster-related objects require object-level examination because the pack does not distinguish original designs, period printings, and later reproductions.
