Sheffield Artist -William Keeling (1860-1930?)

[Dickdioxide]

Dear forum,

Local landscape painter William Keeling (1860-1930?) has painting and sketches in the collection of Sheffield Art Galley- how can I see them?

"Ask them!"I heard you chorus!

I did.

".... here, have a look at this 1980 catalogue....." said the man.

" It's a bit old isn't it?" said I.

"We've not acquired anything since " was the reply.

"OK , now how can I see them?" I said expectantly.

"You can't" I heard unexpectedly.

"But..."

"They don't usually....too busy.... Kelham Island... flooded..soon....perhaps..Don't know...Don't know...Don't know...Don't know..." very effectively ending the consultation.

Does anybody know any know a way of unlocking the secrets of the Art Gallery?

Any art historians out there?

I have his genealogy and addresses.

TIA
