FRANK SOUTHGATE
Lots 115-121
Southgate was born in Hunstanton in Suffolk and lived most of his life in East Anglia. His untimely death during the First World War was a great loss to British art. His special talent was in the depiction of flight and movement, particularly wildfowl. A member of the Royal Society of British Artists, Southgate illustrated a number of books on birds and on the Norfolk Broads.
