Shepherd Brothers

George Henry Shepherd (1839-1918) and his younger brother, Frederick Hammond Shepherd (c.1847-1926), launched their business “Shepherd Brothers, Art Commission Agents and Picture Dealers” in 1871, which also featured a “London Picture Gallery” located on 27, King-street, St. James’s. By 1902 the gallery was renamed into Shepherds’ Gallery. The gallery held regular spring and winter exhibitions of “selected pictures by early British masters and modern painters” from at least 1883 until 1913. The Shepherd Brothers retired in 1913, and the gallery was taken over by Palser and Son.
