William Lee-Hankey was a painter and printmaker born in Chester. He worked as a designer, studying art in the evenings at Chester School of Art and at the Royal College of Art, and later in Paris. He lived in France for a time and produced a body of work of French villages and Breton peasants. He taught etching at Goldsmiths' College and exhibited frequently at the Royal Academy. From the early 1890s, Lee-Hankey exhibited at numerous and notable art galleries, which included the Royal Academy, the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours, and the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers. Lee-Hankey was drafted into the army during World War I, serving in the Artists' Rifles from 1914-16 before returning to painting at the close of the war in France. His work is in the collections of the V&A, and in art galleries in Vienna, Budapest, Dunedin and Wellington.
