Well ladies and gents, here comes the fun part. I found another person who has apparantly another painting from AE Foster. This person is in France. Here is the reply:
"I Live in France and found it a bootsale, how it got here I do not know. It is in very good condition, and I think it has the orignal frame.not bad for 84 years and all the travelling.I wonder if the farmhouse painted in the picture still exists in Didsbury?." There was another part of this message that I can not find: something written on the back of the painting dated 1927, "Shrewsbury"? Meadowdale?" Can't exactly remember.

Remember, mine is dated 1907. Here are images, and you can barely see the autograph which is troublesome but I looked at it with a magnifying glass.
