Notes

Frank Algernon Stewart was a British sporting and military artist. He trained under George Ward at Rochester, Fred Brown at the Slade, and Frank Calderon.

He served as a war artist for The Illustrated London News, The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News, and The Graphic, and travelled to South Africa in 1899 during the Boer War, seeing action at Colenso, Spion Kop, and the relief of Ladysmith before being invalided home. In 1901 he studied at the Académie Julian in Paris.

He is best known for his watercolour hunting scenes, along with racing, polo, and military subjects, and was regarded as one of the leading sporting artists of his day, exhibiting annually with Vicars Brothers in the 1930s.
