Penzance Market Cross 1800 Victorian Painting Cornwall Postcard

This is a superb artist postcard from Geoffrey Huband of The Penzance Market Cross in 1800.  Geoffrey Huband was born in Worcestershire in 1945, and studied at Stourbridge College of Art and at Manchester University. As a student in the 1960s, he came to admire painters of the Newlyn School, who depicted day-to-day subjects in the fishing villages of Cornwell, as well as Montagu Dawson for his style and directness. After a spell teaching, he moved to Cornwall in 1970 to paint full-time; its rugged coastline has inspired his marine paintings throughout a career that has seen him commissioned by collectors worldwide and his paintings included in numerous private collections.  This beautiful postcard of this local work captures the artist at his greatest and whilst undated appears circa 35-40 years ago origin published by Geoffrey Huband Prints locally in Cornwall from the era and unused in outstanding condition
