'Judith Shakespeare's Home by Paul Braddon'

'Watercolour by Paul Braddon depicting the home of Judith Shakespeare for 35 years at the corner of Bridge Street and High Street. The house known as ‘The Cage’ was from 1616 the home of Shakespeare’s younger daughter and her husband, Thomas Quiney, a vintner and seller of tobacco. Paul Braddon (1864-1937) was the pseudonym of James Leslie Crees. Born in Birmingham, England, Braddon was a prolific watercolour artist, best known for his topographical paintings, which often featured buildings with a literary connection. The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust has almost a hundred of Braddon's watercolours in its collection, painted around 1890 and depicting scenes from Stratford-upon-Avon and other areas associated with William Shakespeare.'
