The Queen’s South Africa Medal awarded to ‘painter, etcher, raconteur and rifle-shot’, Mortimer Menpes, who accompanied the City of London Imperial Volunteers to the front during the Boer War as war artist for Black & White illustrated weekly magazine Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, no clasp, (Mr. M. Menpes “Black & White.”) very fine £1,400-£1,800 --- Mortimer Luddington Menpes was born in 1855 at Port Adelaide, South Australia, the son of property developer James Menpes and was educated at John L. Young’s Adelaide Educational Institution, although his formal art training began at the School of Art in London in 1878 after his family had moved back to England in 1875 and settled in Chelsea. He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1880, and, over the following 20 years, 35 of his paintings and etchings were shown at the Academy. He met James McNeil Whistler on a sketching tour of Brittany in 1880 and became Whistler’s pupil, learning the etching techniques that were to become evident in much of his later work. In 1886 he stood as godfather to Oscar Wilde’s son and the following year, a visit to Japan led to his first one-man exhibition at Dowdeswell’s Gallery in London. In 1900, following the outbreak of war in the Transvaal, Menpes sailed to South Africa as a war artist for the weekly illustrated magazine Black & White, in which, on 3 February 1900, the following appeared: ‘Accompanying the City of London Imperial Volunteers to the front is an artist whose name is known the whole world over, because he is first of all an artist, and secondly a reporter of events. This is Mr. Mortimer Menpes, who is entitled to tag after his name a list of honours and titles of which few artists can boast. Mr. Menpes is the inventor of a process of colour etching, in which, to the sharpness and definition attained by the tools of the etcher, he has added the softness and brilliance of all the rich colours that may be laid on the painter’s palette. Mr Menpes will be able to send us from the front portraits of all the principal Generals and notabilities of the war.’ Menpes’ sketches from the campaign were subsequently transcribed by his daughter Dorothy Menpes and published by Charles Black of Soho Square in 1901 under the title ‘War Impressions, being a record in colour by Mortimer Menpes’. After the war Menpes travelled widely and and many of his illustrations were published in books again accompanied by text written by Dorothy. He painted in oil and watercolour as well as being a prolific printmaker, producing over 700 etchings and drypoints during his career to great acclaim. A definitive catalog raisonné of his printed works was published in 2012 which also included an extensive biography and his exhibition history. He died at Pangbourne in 1938. ‘Menpes, Mortimer, F.R.G.S.; painter, etcher, raconteur, and rifle-shot; inartistically born in Australia; war artist for Black and White in South Africa, 1900.
