## About Albert Pollitt

Albert Pollitt is documented in the collected source pack through a sparse Wikidata entity and a substantial body of matched public auction records. Available lot imagery consistently associates the name with signed watercolours depicting coastal views, fishing activity, dunes, rivers, and landscapes connected with Anglesey and North Wales. Dated examples in the pack include works described as being from 1895, 1902, and 1904, placing at least part of the recorded output around the turn of the twentieth century. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter Pollitt through landscape and marine watercolours rather than through a well-developed institutional biography. The available sources do not independently establish complete life dates, nationality, training, exhibitions, or a recognized movement. Identification should consequently rest on signatures and inscriptions, subject and medium, provenance, condition, and comparison with securely attributed examples.

## Common works and media

The collected auction imagery most consistently shows watercolours on paper. Recorded subjects include coastal views, boats and fishing activity, dunes, rivers, and North Wales landscapes. Examples are described as signed, and several carry dates around 1895–1904. Because the evidence comes from auction-style captions, medium, signature, date, dimensions, and attribution should be checked directly on each object rather than assumed from the artist name alone.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's public market index reports 237 matched auction records, of which 142 include prices, across a 1994–2026 record window. Its published observed range is $10 to $1,139, but that broad interval should not be treated as a prediction for an individual work. A useful appraisal compares watercolours with similar dimensions, subjects, dates, condition, signatures, and attribution quality. Discoloration, restoration, fading, paper condition, provenance, and documentary references can affect comparability. The page's overview and data-basis sections report different lot totals, so record counts should be reconciled before drawing conclusions about market depth or liquidity.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Public results are evidence for comparison, not a substitute for inspecting attribution, condition, provenance, and the individual object.
