## About Blamire Young

William Blamire Young (1862–1935), commonly known as Blamire Young, was an English-Australian artist and art critic whose public biographical profile centers on watercolour. A second-language biography in the collected source set also identifies him as an illustrator working in Australia. His identity is reinforced by linked authority records from Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, ISNI, IdRef, RKD, Art UK, and Wikidata, helping distinguish his work from similarly named makers. The available evidence does not securely assign him to a named movement, nor does it establish recurring subjects or titled series, so those details should not be inferred. Collectors are most likely to encounter his name in connection with watercolours and cataloguing that uses either “Blamire Young” or “William Blamire Young.” Appraisily’s page-level signal reports 191 auction records, indicating a substantial set of public-market references, although the supplied source pack does not expose individual lots or results.

## Common works and media

Available sources consistently identify watercolour as Young’s principal medium, and one biography also identifies illustration. Watercolours are therefore the best-supported work type for auction and appraisal searches. The collected evidence does not establish recurring subject matter, named series, sculptures, ceramics, posters, or editioned prints, so those categories should be treated as unverified rather than assumed.

## Market and appraisal context

For appraisal, first confirm that cataloguing refers to Blamire Young and that the medium agrees with his documented practice. Because the collected biographies describe watercolour as his primary medium, comparisons should prioritize records with the same medium instead of combining all attributed works. The name variant William Blamire Young should also be checked when searching historical catalogues. Appraisily’s input signal contains 191 auction records, but this source pack does not provide their dates, descriptions, estimates, realized prices, or auction-house attributions. Those details should be reviewed before selecting comparables or drawing conclusions about value. The evidence supports a market category of watercolours; it does not support a price trend, rarity claim, subject premium, or adjustment for a named period or series.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. This profile distinguishes source-supported identity facts from market details that still require review at the individual-record level.
