W.J.J.C. BOND
William Joseph Julius Caesar Bond, affectionally known by his friends as ‘Alphabet Bond’ was a long lived, professional and prolific artist who produced many paintings that still decorate the walls in homes throughout the United Kingdom.
Most of his paintings have remained in private hands for many years unseen and in consequence he is an artist that is under-appreciated. This book, with over 230 images of his paintings, is an attempt to expose this artist to a wider audience. The story of his life also provides an opportunity to glimpse the trials and tribulations of a man in the Victorian era, born and raised in Liverpool, who chose to provide for his family through his artistic endeavours.
An admitted admirer of J.M.W. Turner, Bond created his own style of combining Turneresque atmospherics with the detailed observation of nature reminiscent of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. His works amply demonstrate that he was an artist who could compete with the best of British artists of his time.
