    Sometimes it may be signed at the back.

    Or initials.

    It doesn't look it. I was reluctant to take the frame apart to examine it but I suppose I'll have to. It's probably not a good sign when the signature's not visible... unless whoever did the framing just covered over it unawares!

    It was a longshot that someone would just recognise it and know off-hand... I'll let you know when I find out though. Thanks folks

    It's very nice.

    Where did you buy it, that might be the place to start.

    Hey folks... Thanks again for your help with this... and guess what! I found a signature!

    I'm thinking this says J F Herring Sen? 18? I can't quite make out the year... anyone?

    Thanks again!

    Most probably 1858 , that's the year it says this was painted.
    The painting is called Meopham Horse Fair 1858.
