## About Harry Eliott

Harry Eliott was the professional name associated with Charles Edmond Hermet, a French painter and illustrator generally dated 1882–1959. Library authority records connect the two names and document his relationship to published illustrated works. Public references describe him as a draftsman and illustrator who also painted, particularly in watercolor. The surviving material identified in this source pack includes book-related illustration and a public-domain lithograph depicting Camille Jenatzy driving a Mercedes after the 1904 Gordon Bennett Cup. Collectors may therefore encounter Eliott through works on paper, watercolors, illustrated publications, and prints rather than through a single uniform category. His dual identity is especially important for cataloguing and entity matching. The available sources do not securely associate him with a named artistic movement, and the present evidence is stronger for identity and working media than for a detailed chronology of his career.

## Common works and media

The source pack supports watercolors, drawings, book and narrative illustration, and lithographic prints as documented forms of Eliott's work. One credited lithograph records an early motoring subject, although the evidence is too limited to characterize automotive imagery as his dominant subject.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's artist page indicates a body of auction records associated with Harry Eliott, but the collected source pack does not provide lot-level descriptions or realized-price details. Appraisal should begin by identifying the work type and separating original watercolor or drawing from lithography and other printed illustration. The Harry Eliott attribution should also be reconciled with the documented Charles Edmond Hermet identity. Comparable public records are most useful when they concern the same medium and broadly similar kind of work. The record count alone should not be interpreted as evidence of a price trend, scarcity, or guaranteed market liquidity. A defensible estimate requires examination of the object and sufficiently comparable sale records.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Claims are limited here where the collected sources do not provide detailed market evidence.
