Walter Herbert Allcott (1889-1951) was born in Ladywood in Birmingham. He trained at the Birmingham School of Art from 1987-1901.[1] While he began painting oil portraits, he later worked primarily in watercolour and pastel, depicting landscapes and architectural subjects.[2]
He moved to Chipping Camden in Gloucestershire in 1919.[1] In 1920 he became member of the Royal Watercolour Society.[3] In 1921, William John Wainwright, a prominent member of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, proposed that he become a member.[4] There, over the period between 1899 and 1939 he exhibited over 200 works.[5]
He travelled widely, frequently travelling to Italy in the 1920s and therefore his subjects are from all over Europe.[1]
