WALTER FOLLEN BISHOP BRITISH-AUSTRALIAN (1856-1936) Hawthorn Blossom, Brownhill Creek, 1917 watercolour 124 x 74cm. Walter Follen Bishop was a Liverpool artist, though he also lived in both London and Jersey. Bishop worked in the strong tradition of Liverpool landscape painting, and like his contemporary J.T. Watts (1853-1930) he specialised in woodland scenes and must have been familiar with the writings of John Ruskin and the Pre-Raphaelites. His fidelity to nature and attempts to revive a sense of realism in landscape painting bear testimony to his adherence to Ruskinian principles. He was fascinated by the play of light on leaves, bracken, lichen and rocks. He managed to combine meticulous detail with a sense of atmosphere. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1882-1902 works such as Where moorland and forest meet, 1884, no. 992, The last rays of sunlight on forest and moor, 1885, no. 1318 and The wood with morning sunlight crowned, 1890, no. 1319 and also at Suffolk Street. He married the painter and sculptress Florence Fitzgerald (fl.1887-1927) who also exhibited at the Royal Academy works entitled By the Meadow Brook and Where the Wild Flowers grow and at Suffolk Street. Follen Bishop is known to have painted in Australia, as there are several known works of South Australian views, though little is recorded of his time here. He is represented within the collection of the Art Gallery of South Australia and in the City of Burnside collection South Australia. The present work which is on an unusual scale for a watercolour, shows a romanticised English interpretation of the Australian bush, with young girls in the woods beneath towering gum tree’s.

WWII – A rare archive of a British woman agent – Captain Evelyn Cogdon small archive including photographs, correspondence, signed menus, official letters of promotion, a photograph of allied parachutists and various other documents all relating to Cogdon – a Captain attached to the Inter-Services Research Bureau [ie the Special Operations Executive]. Evelyn Cogdon had the cover of a driver in the Women’s Transport Service, but in her secret role she commanded up to 150 service women at English country houses who were in radio contact with Allied agents behind enemy lines and organisations such as the French Resistance. She served at Grendon Hall – a base also linked to the legendary British women agents Odette and Violette Szabo – and also had links with highly important radio stations at Thame Park, Oxon, and Poundon House, Bucks. It is also entirely plausible that she was also involved in Bletchley Park, which was nearby. The photographs in this archive show her with her colleagues, and the correspondence relates to her special training for work of a ‘confidential nature’. The archive also contains letters to Cogdon from her former colleagues written after the war, and in part these bear out the frustration of some of this highly talented and brave women when they returned to mundane domesticity after the war. There is also a remarkably trite letter written from the Women’s Transport Service in 1946 pointing out that this brave woman who carried out heaven knows what acts of courage throughout the war was not really entitled to her full allocation of clothing coupons because of some regulation or other – how typically British ! Archives relating to high level agents are naturally scarce on the market and this is a particular important source of information.
