Early life

Staniland was born at Kingston upon Hull in Yorkshire on (19 June 1838)Шаблон:R the son of Joseph Staniland, a merchant. He studied at the Birmingham School of Art under David Wilkie Raimbach,Шаблон:Refn at the Heatherley School of Fine Art, and the Normal Training School of Art in South Kensington.Шаблон:R He was admitted as a student of the Royal Academy on 2 May 1861, having successfully completed his probationary term.Шаблон:R

He married Elizabeth Parsons Buckman (c. 1844Шаблон:Ndash1920) in Edgbaston, Warwick, on 15 September 1868.Шаблон:R. The couple had five children, all of whom survived to adulthood:

By 1871 Staniland was living with his wife and first child at Hogarth Cottage in Chiswick, and was doing well enough to have a monthly nurseШаблон:Refn as well as a servant. By 1881, he was living at 15 Steele's Road in Hampstead with his wife and all five of his children. He also had two live-in domestic servants and a governess for his children. The governess was Rosa Wells and her brother,Шаблон:Refn JosiahШаблон:Refn Robert Wells (c. 1849Шаблон:Ndash1897), an artist, was a boarder.

Staniland and Wells collaborated on several book illustration projects including The Three Admirals by William Henry Giles Kingston (Griffith & Farran. London 1878) and The Pirate Island by Harry Collingwood (Blackie and Son, London, 1885). Wells was the principal marine artist for The Illustrated London News for 1873Шаблон:Ndash1883, specialising in marine subjects and ship portraits.Шаблон:R Houfe refers to him as the "Fleet Special Artist" of Illustrated London News.Шаблон:R Wells was still living with the Stanilands at the time of the 1891 census. Wells died on 27 June 1897 in Brookwood and Holloway Mental Hospital.Шаблон:RШаблон:Refn

Staniland was living with his wife and his three unmarried children at 3 Hawkswood Crescent, in Chingford, Essex, at the time of the 1901 census. By 1911, he was living with his daughter Catherine at 1 Millfield Villas, Fleet, Hampshire. His wife was with their daughter Ellen's husband and family at the time of the census. It is not clear if the couple had split up or if his wife was just on a visit.

Staniland died on 16 June 1916, at 134 Oxford Road, Acock's Green, Birmingham. He does not appear to have left a will. His wife survived until 1920.Шаблон:R

Works

Staniland worked as a painter and as an illustrator. He produced a large volume of work for the illustrated newspapers.

Painting

Staniland began exhibiting at the Royal Academy in 1863 and continued to do so irregularly until 1881.Шаблон:Refn

Staniland was elected an associate of the RI in 1875, and became a full member in 1879. He resigned in 1890. He was a member of the ROI from his election in 1883 until his resignation in 1896.

Staniland painted in both watercolours and oils, and sometimes painted on a theme. In the case of The Emigrant Ship, Staniland exhibited a watercolour The last Day in Old England at the RI in 1875. This showed a party of emigrants about to leave the country, in a scene near the docks. The Globe said that the watercolour was "full of suggestion". In the Emigrant Ship also known as Good-Bye! we see the quayside as the ship is about to depart. The Liverpool Mercury stated that the painting was "full of heart-rending scenes in tearing asunder family ties" and that the painting was truly "a splendid work. . . The subject is well chosen as regards the position of the vessel, and there is a beautiful bit of dim smoky distance, so like London, and so cleverly done. To those who like this kind of subject it will prove a world of pleasure in examining for years.Шаблон:R Treuherz notes that among other social realist themes The Graphic publish several scenes of emigrants leaving by ship, with lively portrayals of both the excitement and pain of departure,Шаблон:R and cites this work by Staniland as an example.Шаблон:R

Magazine and newspaper illustration

As an illustrator, Staniland was primarily a newspaper and magazine illustrator. Staniland became a staff member of the Illustrated London News and later of The Graphic.Шаблон:R He contributed to a wide range of magazines including:

In 1886 Staniland not only illustrated but also authored a two part account of the Lifeboats and Lifeboat-men of Great Britain. This ran in The English Illustrated Magazine in February and March of that year.

Book illustration

Kirkpatrick lists over 90 books illustrated by Staniland.Шаблон:R Some of these were illustrated in collaboration with Wells.

Among the authors that Staniland illustrated for were:Шаблон:R

In 1886 Staniland illustrated The Dragon and The Raven, or The Days Of King Alfred. by George Alfred Henty (Blackie & Son, London 1886)Шаблон:R. The illustrations were made with line blocks from fine pen-drawings drawn in a manner that makes the picture look like wood-engravings.Шаблон:R

Assessment

Houfe states that "Staniland’s strength was in marine illustrations where the ships and tackle were seen at close quarters and the working seaman was observed in large scale" and that "His many contributions to The Illustrated London News and The Graphic were a mainstay of those periodicals in the 1870s and 1880s, readers had practically to wipe the brine from their faces as they turned the pages."Шаблон:R The Hampstead and Highgate Express called him a "dextrous and humourous" artist.Шаблон:R

Houfe also stated that Staniland "was also an excellent portrait artist and painted still-life and bird subjects in watercolour."Шаблон:R His social realist images for the Graphic, particularly those of mining, were much admired by Van Gogh.Шаблон:R
