Allinson is a professor emeritus at the University of Connecticut whose teaching and artistic interests lay in the fields of agronomy and animal industry. Jane Allinson has a background in medieval studies. The Allinsons now wish to share the works in the hope that other enthusiastic collectors will provide a home for these outstanding examples of the British etching tradition. The collection is especially appealing to collectors of Cornish art and we are delighted that Jane & Derek have chosen Lay’s to handle their exceptional collection of prints, drawings and watercolours.
