British Everest Expedition 1953. “Some Thoughts on the Production and Delivery of Oxygen Equipment to Everest” by A.W. Bridge, August 1953, original typescript, on rectos only over 18 leaves, followed by 9 further leaves each bearing an original mounted b & w photograph of oxygen equipment, most leaves initialled by Bridge, the text preceeded by a signed introductory letter by Bridge on expedition headed-paper, with a folding 1953 edition one inch to 8 miles War Office map of Nepal attached to rear pastedown, later full cloth, 33 x 20cm. In this short dissertation Alfred Bridge (1902-71) describes chronologically the series of meetings held by the Everest Expedition to determine the oxygen supply, beginning on 29 August 1952. It was decided to keep to the basic design recommended by R.A.E. Farnborough, with the Admiralty agreeing to assist in supplying light alloy cylinders, on order from Reynolds Tube Co., while Normalair and Siebe, Gorman & Co. agreed to provide the oxygen equipment. Bridge records the initial stalling of progress and his own subsequent appointment, at the request of the expedition leader Sir John Hunt, to “work in the speeding up of the production and assembly of the oxygen equipment”. Bridge finally sees the last flight carrying equipment depart from RAF Lyneham on 21 March 1953 bound for Nepal, and pays great tribute to all involved in what was obviously a greatly time-pressured process. The text includes tables of statistical data and appendices describing the responsibilities of all the parties involved in oxygen supply for the expedition, plus a sheet of erratum. Hunt pays tribute to Alfred Bridge in ‘The Ascent of Everest’ (1953): “I had secured the part-time services of Alfred Bridge, an old climbing companion of myself and some other members of the party. To those of us who knew this fine old-stager, the addition of Bridge to our helpers was a great event in the history of the expedition. His enthusiasm, his immense energy and fixity of purpose even more, his power of inspiring others to join in any enterprise in which he is engaged are quite exceptional. I knew that Alf Bridge would never rest until our oxygen consignment was on its way. From the time he joined the active ranks of our supporters, we had no need to worry about the oxygen.” (1)

ERNEST WALLCOUSINS (1883-1976) A three-quarter portrait of Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965), wearing a bow tie and standing before a table displaying St. George slaying the Dragon, oil on canvas, 54" x 35"The model of St George and The Dragon appears to have been added to this work sometime after its initial creation. It`s presence has several possible layers of symbolic meaning. Firstly, it may represent the Allied victory of good over evil during World War II. In addition, as St George is the patron saint of Moscow, it may be emblematic of the alliance between Britain and Russian at the time. It may also have been added to celebrate Elizabeth II`s Coronation in 1953. Finally, the presence of St George and The Dragon could allude to the Great George insignia given by Queen Anne to John Churchill, Ist Duke of Marlborough, to celebrate his victory at the Battle of Blenheim. Sir Winston Churchill wore this very insignia at the Coronation of Elizabeth II. This portrait is illustrated opposite page 1 of The Victory Book, published by Odhams Press Ltd to commemorate the Allied victory in World War II. A copy of this publication is included with this lot. Ernest Wallcousins (1883-1976) was appointed as the official illustrator for all Royal occasions between 1935 and 1963.Provenance: Private collection, London. THE VENDOR WISHES THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION TO BE ADDED:A PORTRAIT OF WINSTON CHURCHILL CELEBRATING VICTORY, 1945, FEATURING ST GEORGE SLAYING THE DRAGON BY C.E. WALLCOUSINS THE ILLUSTRATOR FOR ALL ROYAL OCCASIONS 1935-1963.The portrait shows Churchill in a book lined room, thought to be a representation of the Cabinet Room and of hist literacy and rhetoric genius, standing behind a table with his hand on a Mercator`s map of the world which symbolises his role as the great strategist globally of the Second World War.St George slaying the Dragon in front of Churchill was added later, perhaps alluding to the Marlborough Great George insignia of his forbear, John Churchill. Winston Churchill wore this insignia on the event of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on 2nd June, 1953, the 60th anniversary of which is this year. Overall condition of this painting appears quite good with light surface dirt and discolouration. There is a small patch visible on the reverse corresponding with the position of the St. George`s and The Dragon, which were later additions. There are also minor surface losses to the gilt frame.
