A Second China War medal to Sapper Frederick Richardson, 8th Company Royal Engineers, no clasp (SAPPER FREDK. RICHARDSON. 8TH C. ROYAL ENGRS), officially impressed, light scratching and knocks but little wear, therefore nearly extremely fine. Although not entitled to a clasp for any of the major successful actions of the war, this man belonged to the small Army contingent present at the disastrous amphibious assault on the Taku Forts on June 25th 1859. The forts at the mouth of the Peiho river were critical in that they controlled access to Teinsin, and ultimately to Pekin. The British had captured them earlier in the war, and a treaty had been concluded which was awaiting Imperial ratification. Frustrated at the prevarication of the Chinese, British and French diplomats were conveyed north by the Royal Navy in an attempt to approach Pekin directly. They found that the Peiho River defences had been strengthened, and seeing that the Chinese meant to deny them access, the Navy attempted a landing, which was thwarted by thick mud and spirited opposition. 25 men of the 8th, including Richardson, had been attached to the 10th Company R.E., and served as riflemen and ladder bearers during this otherwise exclusively Naval action. Offered with research.

Robert Griffiths Hodgins (South African 1920-2010) THREE MEN WAITING signed, dated 1998/9 and inscribed with the title on the reverse oil on canvas 91,5 by 122cm Robert Hodgins’ drive to experiment with light and colour is one of the things that make his works so visually enthralling. He was greatly influenced by the works of Bridget Riley and Francis Bacon; however it was his interpretations of Alfred Jarry’s greedy theatrical character of Ubu that led him on a visual expedition of painting that has been rarely observed with such fervour by any South African painter. THREE MEN WAITING is only one of a myriad of works created by Hodgins shortly after he participated in the Ubu 101 exhibition that hosted both South African and international artists at the Gertrude Posel Gallery at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg in 1997. Atkinson (2002:13) writes: “Ubu’s diverse presence is felt, not only in the physical characteristics of a host of barely human Hodgins figures – most obviously the truculent, at times oddly vulnerable, businessman – but also in the affective cross current that is the source of power in his work.” In THREE MEN WAITING the viewer is confronted by Hodgins’ theatrical use of colour and an odd Meta referential subtext. The figures are looking out in anticipation, but their presence is unclear; Hodgins animates them in a discomforting posture by grouping the three figures together in this outsized composition. Each character dressed in corporate attire as a subtle reference to Ubu. CS References: • Smith, K. 2000. ROBERT HODGINS. Artthrob, Issue no 34. June 2000.
