Also known as

James Leslie Crees, W. H. Crees

Paul Braddon was an English artist born in 1864, known chiefly for landscape scenes in watercolour. Surviving examples in public image repositories include views of British architecture and places connected with literary or local history. His documented Haunts of Shakespeare group comprises drawings and watercolours organized as a named set, illustrating the kind of topographical and historical subject matter associated with his practice. Collectors may encounter individual landscape or architectural watercolours as well as works identified with this series. Library authority data also connects Braddon with the alternate names James Leslie Crees and W. H. Crees, making careful identity matching important when reviewing signatures, catalogues, and historical records. Sources disagree over whether he died in 1937 or 1938; this profile uses 1938 because that year appears in the VIAF-linked Library of Congress form and the Art UK record, while retaining the discrepancy as an open research question.

Common works and media

Works likely to appear in appraisal and auction contexts include landscape watercolours, architectural views, historical or literary place scenes, and related drawings. Documented examples include a watercolour view of Heathfield House in Handsworth and drawings and watercolours from the Haunts of Shakespeare series. A work's title, inscription, set number, medium, and relationship to a named group may help distinguish it from a more general landscape or topographical view.

Market and appraisal context

Paul Braddon's market context centers on watercolours and drawings depicting landscapes, architecture, and historically associated places. Assessment should begin with the work's medium, subject, dimensions, condition, signature or inscription, and any documentation connecting it to a named set such as Haunts of Shakespeare. Provenance and a secure attribution are also important, particularly because authority data records alternate names for the artist. Comparable public sales should match the work as closely as possible by type, subject, size, date, condition, and series association. The collected source material confirms an auction-record presence but does not provide enough lot-level evidence to support a price forecast or market-trend claim.

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected source pack does not expose individual auction-lot descriptions, realized prices, dimensions, condition reports, provenance, or sale dates.
  • The artist's death year conflicts across authority records: VIAF and Art UK identify 1938, while Wikidata and Wikipedia identify 1937.
  • No price prediction should be made without examining the specific work and closely comparable public sales.
