This collection comprises five framed works on paper, predominantly featuring nostalgic British agricultural and rural scenes. The two larger works are colour prints after watercolours by Owen Bell, titled Steam Threshing on a Winter’s Day and Steam Ploughing in the West Country. Both prints bear the artist’s signature transcribed as Owain in the lower right margin and document early 20th-century steam-powered farming machinery in a detailed realist style. The smaller items include two works signed S. G. WRIGHT in the lower right corner, depicting a tractor harvesting in a field alongside a passing steam locomotive, and a tractor on a muddy rural track. The third smaller work depicts a blue Fordson tractor in a snowy town centre featuring the Jubilee Clock Tower in Weymouth. The medium across the collection appears to be watercolour and high-quality colour reproduction. The larger pair is presented in light wood-effect frames with double-layered mounts, while the smaller trio is housed in black frames with gold-toned inner beads.
