comment by:babsueHi, I've also recently purchased a print by Rhys Jones called 'Corso Domaniza Faenza', or something like that, I can't quite read the letters but it is a print of an old street cobbled path and buildings both sides. Maybe pre 1900.
comment by:KevrubenmegI also have a painting titled 'The Street of David' ,also 'Bab Euweyha' by Rhys Jenkins I would like to know more about the artist and when it was painted, also where the paintings are of!
comment by:SailorjimI have two framed prints by Rhys Jenkins entitled ' El Zarub' and 'Bab Zuweyla' both Middle East scenes depicting gates into cities. Possibly Cairo or Baghdad. Some twenty years ago I was advised by an expert that the artist was an Australian. Is it possible he was an emigrant?
comment by:lezleaI also have two prints by Rhys Jenkins 'El Mouski' and 'The Street of David'. I also would appreciate more information.
comment by:HazelvilleI have a painting by Rhys Jenkins of St. Peter Mancroft, Norwich I would think about 1900. Any information on the artist would be appreciated.
comment by:mikegeeI bought a couple of water-colour paintings by Rhys Jenkins about twenty years ago, depicting I think a Mediterranean harbour in the nineteenth century probably, with battlements, some boats are similar shape to gondolas. Does any one know the value of his paintings, has anyone bought or sold any recently? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks mikegee.

comment by:chetwyndI have acquired two water colour pictures named bishops bridge Norwich and St John Street Colchester. My pictures also have connections with a navel person who was at sea at the the beginning of the 1900's
