I have 2 of Clem Lambert's paintings, dated 1880, of Honfleur - really know little about this painter.

My husband is the great great nephew of Clem Lambert and I have been working on the family tree for many years. As far as I can tell, our two young sons (born, bred and thriving in Brighton) and their second cousin are his only Lambert descendants. As part of my family research, I am currently gathering details of 'Uncle Clem's' life and trying to list his works in order to create an archive of some sort for the future. Not easy, his paintings are scattered all over the world!

I recently puchased a watercolor by Clem Lambert entitled "Salisbury from Old Sarum" - I was partly attracted to it since I grew up in Salisbury.

 I decided to google Clem Lambert, as I have a painting by this artist which I bought about 25yrs ago from Eastbourne Fine Art. It is a large painting in water colour 13"x19" of a country scene, two people walking by a large pond with buildings and trees in the background. It is not named but is very well painted, and I obviously liked it enough to pay £325 for it. Hand written on back Mr Holleyman , Bookshop, Brighton.  There is also sticker on the back stating:- Clement Lambert 1855-1925, Painter of landscapes, shore scenes and genre- mainly in watercolour. It was exhibited at the Royal Academy and Royal Society of Artists and elsewhere from 1880. He lived in Brighton. I hope this is of use to you.

I found a chalk sketch by Clem Lambert being sold on eBay UK that is exactly the same view of the Chain Pier as in the watercolour which John Lampur posted back in March 2006. It seems at one time Lamber probably sold these watercolours and sketches to the tourist trade to support himself. It is a pity so few have survived.

We have two small oil paintings 17cm x 13cm one of a girl with a cow and the other is a girl with some sheep and ducklings. Both set in an orchard. These were my wife's mother's and she lived in Brighton as a child. No idea of the value.

Nicolette, if you are still checking this page, I would like to get in touch. My husband is Max Lambert. We have recently recd. two Clem Lambert paintings from the estate of his uncle, Stanley Lambert, late of Brighton. The name may be coincidental but we are interested in finding out if there is a family connection. If you wish to contact us please get in touch with My Brighton & Hove.

I have just purchased a chalk/pencil picture of the water colour that appears on your site. Can anyone give me an idea as to how much this might be worth? I love the picture and would like to know more about it. I purchased this picture from a charity shop and as I had no idea Brighton even had a chain pier, I was fascinated by the drawing. I originate from Hove, but now reside in Eastbourne.
