Biography edit

Skeaping was born in Liverpool on 13 December 1856 to decorative wood carver Joseph Nairn Skeaping (baptised on 6 August 1829 – 1 January 1902)[1][2][note 1] and Mary Pollock Mathiason (baptised on 24 May 1835 – 14 March 1917) [3][4] Who had married at St. Philip's Church, Liverpool on 10 April 1853.[5]

Skeaping was the second of the couple's nine children,[note 3] and the eldest boy. At least two of his siblings had careers in the arts. His brother John Skeaping (21 May 1859 – 4 May 1940)[9][10] was a figure and landscape painter, and a lithographer.[11]: 462 [note 4] His sister Elizabeth Jane "Lily" Skeaping (14 September 1870 – 31 October 1947 )[9][14] was a figure, landscape, and miniature painter. [note 6]

It is not clear where Skeaping was educated. His family were close knit, and he initially worked with his mother helping her to make wigs from real hair,[note 7] before training as a lithographic artist,[17] which is how he recorded his occupation in the 1881 census. He was still registered to vote at his parents' home at 50 Warren StreetHe travelled to London in the early 1880s and met his future wife there in 1886. He subsequently spent time in Paris adsorbing the art of the impressionists and post-impressionists.[17]

In 1895 he married Sarah Ann Rattenbury (2 January 1867 – second quarter 1960)[9][18],[19] the daughter of the late Thomas Swaine Rattenbury (6 June 1830 – 22 June 1877),[20][21] a grocer and cheeses monger of New Cross.[22][21] and grocer's shopwoman Sarah Rattenbury née Day (c. 1832 – 10 October 1898)[23]. The couple had four children:

  • Kenneth Mathiason Skeaping (22 September 1897 – 14 October 1977),[9][24] a musician and a leader and educator in early music.[note 8]
  • Sally Skeaping (13 August 1899 – 9 January 1916)[26] who died of appendicitis and peritonitis[note 9] at Guy's Hospital, London aged 16, in the presence of her mother.[29] She was buried near her home at Bexleyheath.[30]
  • John Rattenbury Skeaping RA (9 June 1901 – 5 March 1980),[31] the noted sculptor.
  • Mary Emma Skeaping MBE (15 December 1902–9 February 1984).[32] the ballet dancer and producer.

The children had an unusual upbringing, apparently being educated entirely at home until their teens. In an interview in 1968, his son John recalls Skeaping as saying: ". . . two great qualities that children have are imagination and the power of imitation so the only things they should do is develop their imagination by learning music, dancing, painting, sculpture, and so forth an imitation - they can learn languages.[note 11] What is stuffed into children against their will over ten years they can forget in six months. What you learn willingly over that ten years, you never forget."[17]

The eldest child was born in Woodford in Essex in 1897, and their address at the baptism of Sally in December 1899 was Kersal Villa, Malmsbury Road, South Woodford, Essex. They were still there in 1905, but by the time of the 1911 census they were living at Cliftonville, Warren Road, Bexleyheath, London, and were still there in 1918. by 1929 the electoral register shows the family[note 12] had moved to 2 Eton College Road, in Camden, London. They were still there ten years later at the time of the 1939 Register in September of that year, and in the street directory for 1840. Skeaping had moved to Corners, Cross Road, Tadworth in Surrey by 1945, and was said to have lived there for several years when he died in 1946.

Skeaping died on 16 May 1946.[34] He was 89 years old. His wife survived him by fourteen years, dying at the age of 93.[18]

Work edit

Painting edit

The first sale recorded for Skeaping was at the Autumn Exhibition of the Manchester City Art Gallery in 1886 where he sold Reciting the Charge of the Light Brigade for two guineas (£2 2s.).[35] Skeaping exhibited 34 works at the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, and two works at the Manchester City Art Gallery.[11] He showed Home Industry at the 1892 Isle of Man International Exhibition.[36] In 1908 he was commissioned to paint a portrait of Lord Byron after an earlier portrait by Thomas Phillips RA, painted during Byron's life.[37] In 1911 he exhibited thee "very delightful figure studies" Queen of the roses, Lily and the lilies, and Gone for ever, at the Spring Exhibition in the Rochdale Art Gallery.[38] The following year he had two "very delightful child studies" For Harvest Festival and Peace on Earth at the gallery's Spring Exhibition.[39] Currently five portraits by Skeaping are at the Rochdale Art Gallery.[note 13]

Illustration edit

It is not known to what extent Skeaping illustrated magazines. However, given that he illustrated the Tit-bits monster rhyme book in 1899, suggests he may have been doing illustrations for Tit-bits at least. He only seems to have illustrated a few handfuls of books, but two of these[note 14] have about 100 illustrations each.

The early childhood mortality rate, i.e the number of children who survived to their first birthday but died before their fifth birthday was 303.27 per 1,000 for Liverpool.[6] The numbers cannot be added together but the surviving proportions have to be multiplied by each other to give the overall surviving proportion, which then yields the total under-five mortality rate.
  3. ^ Eight out of the couple's nine children were still alive at the time of the 1911 census (when the eldest was in her mid 50s) given that the under-five mortality rate was 464 per 1,000 for Liverpool in 1861.[6][note 2] The only child of the couple that did not survive to see adulthood was Thomas (second quarter of 1867 – buried 24 October 1869)[7][8]

[54][note 19] The Northern Whig stated that while a want of sympathy with prize-fighting prevented appreciating the book as a whole, they could and did "appreciate the very clever illustrations with which it is furnished" by Skeaping.[55] The Liverpool Mercury said that the notable feature of the book was "certainly the illustrations, which are exceedingly well drawn and are both dramatic and humorous."[56]

When all the children "of fair degree"[57]: 12 [note 22] in the village gather for the summer holidays at the Squire's his maiden sister offers a prize to the boy who becomes the most perfect embodiment of a knight. The Gentlewoman called the book "bright and imaginative", and said it was "still further enhanced by the artistic illustrations" of Skeaping.[58] The book was the first volume of Jarrold's new Snug Corner Series. The Dundee Advertiser found that the fairies met with in the book were very real, and that the book taught "a gentle yet effective lesson" on courtesy.[59] Skeaping provided 35 illustrations for the book plus a decorative title page, decorative heading bands for each chapter, and silhouettes for each end of chapter. He also illustrated the second Snug Corner volume Our little sunbeams, stories for the little ones.
  24. ^ The book tells of a girl who is taken away by a fairy queen to a strange country.[60] The book was profusely illustrated by Skeaping with Alice Kirby Goyder and A. L. Tracy.[61] The Scotsman calls the book "prettily illustrated".[60]

  26. ^ Issued for Christmas 1899. It was full of old nursery rhyme jingles, and was priced at one penny.[63]
  27. ^ This is a story about a young girl and a fairy apple tree.[64] The Pall Mall Gazette said that Skeaping's illustrations were "perfectly in harmony with this delicate tale"[65] The Yorkshire Post said that Skeaping's "delicate illustrations attracted us".[66] The Huntly Express said that "the illustrations and ornamental designs and letterings are excellent".[67] The Northern Whig said that the book was "beautiful alike in subject, in treatment, in printing, and its quaint and well-executed pictures."[68] The Walsall Osberver said that the book was "beautifully illustrated" and that Skeaping's illustrations deserve a special word of praise.[69] The Westminster Gazette said that Skeaping's illustrations were "veritable things of beauty — full of delicacy and charm."[64]
