New Haven Harbour by Rowland Hilder (c.1940)

Hilder was born in New York in 1905 to Roland and Kitty Hilder  Following the outbreak of the First World War, Hilder's English father decided in 1915 to return to his native county of Kent, England, to enlist in the army.

Hilder studied at Goldsmiths' College in south London where he met botanical artist Edith Blenkiron (1903-1992). They married and had two children. As a student with little money he cycled into Kent and discovered the Shoreham Valley in the North Downs. This interest in the countryside began a lifelong passion for drawing landscapes in both pencil and watercolour, initially of Kent, "the Garden of England", and the Thames with its sailing vessels and old buildings.

The Victoria and Albert Museum was established to make works of art available to all, and to inspire British designers and manufacturers. Today the V&A's collections span over 5000 years of human creativity, and continue to intrigue, inspire and inform.
