  Harry Hambro
Howe was a marine artist who was born in Buckfield, Maine
on August 16, 1886.
Howe came from a family of artists. Both his grandfather, H. Howe, and his
father, Captain T. Bailey Howe, were artists. T. Bailey Howe taught his
son, Harry, how to paint. T. Bailey Howe was master of the Nantucket
whaler, the Isabella. Harry H. Howe spent most of his life on the New
England coast. Apparently a prolific artist, he painted landscapes,
seascapes, marine paintings, and still lifes. He died in Ann Arbor, MI on
April 20, 1966.
The Mystery Surrounding Howe
It is believed by some collectors that paintings produced by
William F. Paskell were sometimes signed "HHHowe."
The Paskell style paintings
that are signed HHHowe are often on the same stretcher type as Paskell paintings
signed Paskell, indicating that
perhaps the paintings were
done by the same artist.
Since paintings by Paskell were often sold door to
door, it is believed that pseudonyms were used on his works in order to bring
"new" artists to the attention of the buying public. Paskell is not known,
however, to have ever painted still lifes. Compare the paintings in the
H. H. Howe Gallery to those in the
Paskell Gallery.
Any information about the mystery of H. H. Howe would be
greatly appreciated. In particular, we would be very interested in
paintings known to be by Harry H. Howe.
