Note: As is well documented, Peter Howson has struggled in the past with issues of addiction including alcohol. It's rare to find any example of his work which so obviously explores the nature of alcoholism or perhaps of addiction more generally. As is also well documented, Peter, with the help of those close to him, eventually conquered his addictions.
A condition report is offered as an indication of any issues visible to the naked eye. As none of our staff is a professional conservator or restorer, buyers must satisfy themselves in respect of condition and McTear’s can provide contact details of local professionals who can provide fully comprehensive expert reports, usually for a modest charge. The condition report does not form part of any contract between McTear's and the buyer, and all lots are offered "as is" in accordance with our Terms of Business available on our website.
