Studio of Sir Anthony Van Dyck Portrait of a Gentleman, possibly Henry Jermyn later Lord Jermyn, Earl of St Albans (1604-1684) Half length wearing a black tunic and a white lace collar Oil on canvas 76 x 59cm; 30 x 23¼in In his catalogue Oliver Miller states that this picture could be a version of the full length of Jermyn formerly at Rushbooke Hall. It is likely that Jermyn could have sat to Van Dyck around 1639 when he was Master of the horse and Vice-Chamberlain to the Queen. However The National Gallery have suggested that the portrait could also be George Digby, 2nd Earl of Bristol (1612-1677), to whom the sitter does bear a strong resemblance in both the full length double portrait with Lord Russell now at Althorp Park and also the half length portrait at the Dulwich Picture Gallery.

This is the uncropped landscape version with the profile of a male figure and leaves of a plant intruding at the edges of the scene. At the start of March 1960, more than a year after taking power, the French cargo vessel La Coubre from the General Transatlantic Company arrived in port at Havana. It was carrying a second load of munitions that the Cubans had succeeded in buying from Belgium, inspite of Washington’s opposition. But on March 4, two enormous explosions shook the city. The attack killed 81 port workers and wounded another 200. Fidel blamed the CIA and this carnage ended any hope of reconciliation with the United States. The next stage during the funeral service for the victims at Havana Cemetery, Korda was there for the newspaper Revolucion. He took photos of Fidel Castro during his angry speech, some of Che Guevara, and others of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoire, the French intellectuals who had just arrived in Cuba. By reflex, I snapped twice - one horizontal shot and one vertical. I didn”t have enough time to take a third photo, as he stepped back discreetly into the second row. Back in my studio, I developed the film and made a few prints for Revolucion. Because there was a head showing over his shoulder in the vertical shot, I cropped the horizontal photo. The editor-in-chief chose to publish a photo of Fidel on the front page instead, but I liked the Che portrait so much I later made a bigger print, 11 x 14 ins, and hung it in my studio” (Cuba by Korda, 2006).

They are in the Welsh exhibition all this month, I think”, with other family news, the second begins, “Thank you very much for your letter. It came as something of a reproach to me, as I had meant to send you a copy of my book. What is it that deters one in these good intentions? Partly, perhaps, the feeling that a friend ought not to be put in the embarrassing position of having to reply. That is particularly so with books of poetry as tastes differ very widely, and the first review of this book that I read was so terribly scathing that I thought several of my friends would blush. (I didn”t)”, and with further family news and a mention of an Alfred Jones exhibition from which Watkins bought a picture (“Two herrings”), each 4 pp., 8vo, plus a typed copy of Watkins’s poem “Ballad of the rough sea”, 2 pp., signed at end “Vernon Watkins”, folio (5)
