| Notes |
- MY GRANDFATHER WAS AN ARTIST Enoch Henry WALKLATE (1858 - 1939)
By Muriel Lambourne (nee Walklate)
Although born in Collingwood, Victoria and dying in Brunswick, Victoria, my grandfather Henry (his preferred name), spent most of his life in Tasmania: early boyhood in Hobart, and most of the later years in the Trevallyn areas of Launceston, near the Cataract Gorge and Ritchies Mill. Those readers privileged to be familiar with the outstanding beauty there, will not be surprised that he found much inspiration for his painting in this area and in the busy shipping route down the Tamar River to its mouth at Georgetown with its famous lighthouse.
His artistic flair surfaced early, as he writes in his memoirs "When 10 years old I drew the rooster in black ink with a red comb. The Dad was so taken with it, that at Xmas he gave me a 28/6 box of Waterman's water colour paints."
Henry's teachers included Joshua Higgs, Gladstone Eyre (who wanted to teach him portrait painting, but for some reason he did not accept the offer and was later sorry) and Captain Forrest. I refer to his memoirs again "I paid for 6 months, Joshua Higgs, 2/6 every Saturday to watch him paint … then Gladstone Eyre taught me for 5/- per hour in two hour sessions every two weeks for two years. I admired Forrest's work … painted in his style … in oils … sold dozens of my paintings to Bernards in Collins Street, Melbourne and some were bought in the 1920s by my employers, the Berry Brothers, tea merchants." Henry sold paintings and illuminated address cards to supplement his accountant's income to support his family.
He was a member of the Tasmanian and Victorian Artists Society. My Dad, the late Roy Walklate (born 1899 in Trevallyn) remembered going with his father on his painting excursions in the early 1900s.
The Launceston Colonial Exhibition of 1991 at the Queen Victoria Art Gallery had one of his paintings "The Gorge Bridge", held in their collection, restored for display (see copy Launceston Examiner.) The exhibition was partly held to coincide with the Sixth Australasian Congress of Genealogy and Heraldry to which we were delegates. Dianne Dunbar, the Fine Arts Curator had been eager to hear from me about Henry Walklate's biographical details, and she kindly showed us another of Henry's paintings the "SS Rotomahana" which was next in line for restorations.
Of added interest is the fact that a cousin, another Henry Walklate born in Wolstanton, Staffordshire in 1854 was a flower painter for "The Potteries" in 1871, the Walklates being associated with the Staffordshire Potteries at least as far back as the early 18th century in Longton (Lane End) one of the five Stoke-on-Trent pottery towns. (Refer "Journal of Ceramic History, 1700-1865 " by Rodney Hampson - Vol.14 Item 257 Walklate)
I am sure there are many examples of my grandfather's paintings hanging in numerous homes throughout Australia, many being held by relatives and friends of the family in Victoria and Tasmania, of which my father's family are proud to possess sixteen.
