Hastings & Environs: A Sketch-Book
by H. G. Hampton
About the author
H. G. Hampton was a British artist and illustrator active in the early 20th century. Reliable catalog and library-style sources connect him with Hastings & Environs: A Sketch-Book, published in 1915, and with etchings of places such as Falmouth and Chelsea.
His work seems to have centered on place: seaside views, townscapes, and quiet architectural or harbor scenes. That makes him a natural fit for illustrated travel books, where quick visual impressions matter as much as formal history.
Some online art-market and collection records give his dates as 1889 to 1943, but one museum record appears to contain a likely typo for the birth year, so it is best to treat those dates with caution. I could confirm his published and collected work more confidently than detailed personal biographical information.
