Images of a Cornish fishing fleet long since consigned to history will attract fresh interest at The Penzance Auction House next Thursday (19 Jan 2012), when a collection of paintings by a Mousehole “jobbing artist” are offered for sale.
The nine small watercolours by T H Victor depict boats from the Mousehole fleet around the early 20th Century, with some still wholly dependent on sail and others also motorised.

Helped along by hectic bidding from the other side of the world, a damaged Chinese porcelain piece was sold for a staggering 40-fold increase on its estimated price at The Penzance Auction House.
The “altarpiece” – a work of art designed to be set above or behind an altar – was listed at £400 to £600, but ended up as the antiques sale’s star performer at £25,000.
“Nine times out of ten we come pretty close with our price estimates, but I am delighted to confess that we got this one spectacularly wrong!” said auctioneer David Lay.
“We had five phone lines open for the bidding. There were some 30 people registered to bid, and most of them were from mainland China. It was an amazing experience as the price soared.”
