T. Bailey (Massachusetts 20th century) Oil on Canvas “Nantucket Harbor”, signed lower right T. Bailey
17 ¾ in. x 23 ¾ in.
T. Bailey, the pseudonym of several artists associated with the Massachusetts communities around Cape Ann and Nantucket Island, who painted for the tourist trade during the early to mid-20th century. After 1910 a large number of marine paintings by unknown artist “T. Bailey” flooded the market — all sold by an artist’s representative/dealer by the name of Morris Hambro (1860-1938). William Frederick Paskell (1866-1951) has been suggested as being one of the painters of “T. Bailey’s works. Davenport’s Art Reference has him listed as Bailey, T. (William Paskell 1866-1961) whose subject matter consisted of harbors, docks, ships, and elk. It has been thought that Paskell used two pseudonyms: T. Bailey and H. H. Howe.
