Lot 166
A Late 18th Century Oval Portrait Miniature. The miniature depicting an officer in dress uniform, approx 60 x 53 mm, presented in an ebony and gilt brass frame, inscribed to verso D.G Devonshire? Provenance: Journalist and Author Henry Chapman Pincher (1914-2014) writer of approximately fourteen books all relating to political intrigue and espionage. Titles include 'Their Trade is Treachery', 'Labryrinths of Treason', 'Web of Deception', 'The Truth of Dirty Tricks' amongst others. Privately educated in England he joined the Royal Army Corp in 1940. Although he had a scientific background he remained a soldier and continued to serve until1946. He had a keen interest in country pursuits which brought him into the company of many prominent and influencial people including politicians of the 1950's. It was at this time that Chapman Pincher listed his interests as 'spy-hunting, ferreting in Whitehall and bolting politicians'. He furthered his writing career by following 'investigative journalism'. A colourful character writing many articles which often proved challenging to the establishment and the secret service, it was questioned as to whether he was being used by foreign powers. On the contrary he was a true patriot, loyal, intelligent, active, with a brilliant journalistic mind. He once told The Daily Telegraph: 'Attempts by foreign agents to undermine my country and ripen it for revolution or invasion have always outraged me, and, in my seventies, I still feel driven to pursue subversives and traitors whether they be alive or dead'. (referenced from Telegraph Obituary)
