H. E. Howard is an Arts and Crafts movement artist. 10 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

British artist H.E. Howard filled pocket sketchbooks with quick watercolours of Suez docks and stagecraft in the 1890s. Look at “Labourers carrying coal up a gangway to a ship at Port Said”, a gritty slice of Port Said harbour traffic, or “Dance card, including view of Mt. Elias”, where a party programme doubles as a snapshot of Mount Carmel.

All five sheets are pure watercolour, no oils, no hidden stories, just sun-baked harbour walls, hieroglyph jokes, and pyramid-building diagrams. Tap into “Girgeh,” 1896, to see another slice of late-century travel life.
