## About William Henry Mander

William Henry Mander (1850–1922) was a British painter whose authority records identify him as active from about 1880 until 1922. The surviving public record in this source pack is strongest for landscape painting. Titles associated with him include views of Harlech Castle, the Lledr Valley, Betws-y-Coed, Capel Curig, Dolgellau, and Aberystwyth, indicating sustained attention to Welsh scenery, rivers, valleys, and mills. Publicly documented examples include oils on canvas. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter Mander through landscape paintings depicting rural, river, or mountainous settings. The collected institutional sources do not securely place him within a named movement or school, so his work is best described through nationality, period, medium, and subject rather than a speculative label. Art UK, Getty ULAN, VIAF, RKD, and Wikidata provide stable identity anchors for distinguishing him from similarly named artists.

## Common works and media

Publicly documented examples are chiefly landscapes, including views of the Lledr Valley, Betws-y-Coed, Capel Curig, Harlech Castle, Dolgellau, and Aberystwyth. Oil-on-canvas works showing rivers, valleys, mills, castles, and rural Welsh scenery are the clearest recurring type in the collected evidence. Auction listings should be checked individually for medium, dimensions, signature, inscriptions, condition, and attribution.

## Market and appraisal context

William Henry Mander's auction record should be read by comparing like with like. Start with works sharing medium, dimensions, subject, date, and attribution, then assess signature, inscriptions, condition, restoration, provenance, and any exhibition or catalogue history. A Welsh river landscape in oil should not be treated as directly comparable to a work on paper or a differently attributed picture. Appraisily's displayed record totals are internally inconsistent: one summary states 205 lots, while the data table shows 206 records, including 131 priced records. Counts should therefore be verified before valuation use. Realized prices may also reflect different fee conventions. No forecast is warranted from the collected sources; a defensible appraisal requires recent comparable lots and object-specific inspection.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with matched public auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Public-sale data is contextual evidence rather than a substitute for authentication, condition review, or a complete appraisal.
