MEB H Sharman Programme Lecture Signed by Helen Sharman 1st UK Astronaut. MEB Midlands Electricity PLC Helen Sharman Lecture Wednesday, 28th April 1993 Civic Hall Wolverhampton Souvenir Programme Presented to Rotary International. Personally Signed by Helen Patricia Sharman, CMG, OBE, Hon FRSC (born 30 May 1963) is a British chemist and astronaut who became the first British person, first Western European woman and first privately funded woman in space, as well as the first woman to visit the Mir space station, in May 1991. After responding to a radio advertisement asking for applicants to be the first British space explorer, Sharman was selected for the mission live on ITV, on 25 November 1989, ahead of nearly 13, 000 other applicants. She was commuting home from work when she heard the radio advertisement. "Astronaut wanted. No experience necessary. " The programme was known as Project Juno and was a cooperative Soviet-British mission co-sponsored by a group of British companies. Its aim was to enhance the relationship between the UK and the Soviet Union in the twilight years of the Cold War by sending a British astronaut to the Mir space station. Sharman was selected in a process that gave weight to scientific, educational and aerospace backgrounds, as well as the ability to learn a foreign language. Helen would later recall that she was more excited about the training than the flying itself, stating "It wasn't so much going to space as the training that appealed, living in Russia, learning the language, doing advanced mechanics. It was a way out of the rat race. " Before flying, Sharman spent 18 months in intensive flight training in Star City, Moscow. She trained alongside her British back-up Major Tim Mace. The Project Juno consortium failed to raise the money expected, and the programme was almost cancelled. With a view toward the flight's impact on international relations, the project proceeded at Soviet expense although as a cost-saving measure, less expensive experiments were substituted for those in the original plans. The Soyuz TM-12 mission, which included Soviet cosmonauts Anatoly Artsebarsky and Sergei Krikalev, launched on 18 May 1991[10] and lasted eight days, most of that time spent at the Mir space station. Sharman's tasks included medical and agricultural tests, photographing the British Isles, and participating in a licensed amateur radio hookup with British schoolchildren. She landed aboard Soyuz TM-11 on 26 May 1991, along with Viktor Afanasyev and Musa Manarov. On the launch day, Sharman had a "space passport" with her in case they had to land outside Russia. She had also carried with her a butterfly brooch her father had given her and a photo of the Queen Elizabeth II. Sharman was 27 years and 11 months old when she went into space, making her (as of 2017) the sixth youngest of the 556 individuals who have flown in space. Sharman has not returned to space, although she was one of three British candidates in the 1992 European Space Agency astronaut selection process and was on the shortlist of 25 applicants in 1998. Since Juno was not an ESA mission, Tim Peake became the first ESA British astronaut more than 20 years later. Good condition. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

The Captain of the crew of No217 Squadron was David Lord, who had previously been awarded the DFC for his part in operations in Burma. Two successful sorties had been flown on the 17th and 18th September, the first dropping paratroops into Arnhem, and the second towing a glider to the area. By Tuesday 19th September the situation on the ground had deteriorated and 217 Squadron were briefed for aerial supply drop to the British troops. As Flt Lt Lord approached the dropping zone his aircraft was hit by anti-aircraft fire, and a fire broke out on the starboard wing, in the vicinity of the main fuel tank. Plt Off R Medhurst the copilot ( son of Air Chief Marshal Sir Charles Medhurst ) operated the fire Extinguisher equipment, but was unable to extinguish the fire in the wing, Flt Lt Lord however continued to the dropping zone intent on delivering fresh ammunition for the beleaguered troops on the ground. As a result now assisted by Flt Lt King. This proved such a slow process that not all the panniers could be dropped on the first run. Despite the fact that the Dakota was now on one engine with flames spreading across the wing, Flt Lt Lord decided to go around again even though his aircraft could not maintain height. Sinking lower all the time, the last of the panniers was dispatched, and Flt Lt Lord gave the order to bale out. In the next instant the aircraft exploded. Flt Lt King who was standing in the open doorway was thrown clear and parachuted safely to ground, the sole survivor of the crew of eight. On the morning of 20th September Flt Lt King was taken prisoner, along with the remainder of the 10th Battalion of the Parachute Regiment, with whom he had sought shelter the previous day.

* ALFRED WAINWRIGHT MBE (BRITISH 1907 - 1991), GEAL CHÀRN ink on paper, signed and titled in the mountmounted, framed and under glassimage size 12cm x 20cm, overall size 27cm x 32cm Note: Alfred Wainwright wrote his Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells between 1952 and 1966. The simple line drawings and clear concise directions make the seven pocket sized guides almost as essential as good walking boots. Wainwright died in 1991. He is remembered with a memorial in the church at Buttermere. Wainwright was born into poverty in the Lancashire town of Blackburn in 1907. The son of a stonemason, he left school when he was 13 and became an office boy in Blackburn Borough Engineer's Department. At the age of 23 he managed a holiday away from home, to the Lake District. It was love at first sight. In his book Fellwanderer Wainwright described his first visit there. "I was utterly enslaved by all I saw," he said. "Here were no huge factories, but mountains; no stagnant canals, but sparkling crystal-clear rivers; no cinder paths, but beckoning tracks that clamber through bracken and heather to the silent fastnesses of the hills. That week changed my life." He qualified as an accountant and moved to Kendal in 1941, rising to become Borough Treasurer seven years later. He spent every spare moment walking the fells that he loved so deeply. The first Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells was published in 1955 and in his introduction he wrote: 'This book is one man's way of expressing his devotion to Lakeland's friendly hills. It was conceived, and is born, after many years of inarticulate worshipping at their shrines. It is, in very truth, a love-letter.' He spent 13 years compiling the seven Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells, tramping the fells in all weathers at weekends, with raincoat, map and camera. Most of his fine, individual drawings were taken from his photographs. The Pictorial Guides were and are still distinctive. Fearing that printers would misspell words, his handwritten work was reproduced directly on to the page; the Westmorland Gazette of Kendal published them all. Wainwright also devised, during 1970-1, the Coast-to-Coast Walk which starts at St Bees Head on the Cumbrian coast and ends at Robin Hood's Bay on the North Sea. This is perhaps the most popular of all long-distance walks. The inaugural meeting of 'The Wainwright Society' was held on November 9th 2002 at Ambleside Youth Hostel. Numerous sketchbooks and volumes of drawings followed but in 1984 his writing took a dramatic turn. He agreed to write a book for the London publishers, Michael Joseph, which was illustrated with photographs by Derry Brabbs. Fellwalking with Wainwright became a bestseller overnight and was followed by a further seven illustrated books. Two of the books, Wainwright in Scotland and Wainwright's Coast-to-Coast Walk were accompanied by BBC2 television programmes and suddenly the reclusive walker became a virtual 'national treasure'.
* MARGARET MORRIS (BRITISH 1891 - 1980), NUDE COMPOSITION 1913 graphite on paper, titled label versomounted, framed and under glassimage size 16cm x 16cm, overall size 43cm x 32cmExhibition label verso: The Art of Margaret Morris Exhibition, April 1984, Cyril Gerber Fine Art, Glasgow.Note: Dancer, choreographer, artist and writer, daughter of the artist William Bright Morris and wife of the artist J D Fergusson. She was a child stage prodigy who did ballet training at Theatre Royal in London, later studying with Raymond Duncan, the dancer Isadora’s brother. Keen to extend the expressive power of dance, she invented her own technique which she began teaching prior to World War I in her own Margaret Morris Movement school, staging her own shows. In 1913 during a Paris tour she met Fergusson and they formed a creative partnership. Between the wars more Margaret Morris Movement schools opened in France and Britain and the Morris-Fergusson artistic circle widened enormously. After returning to Glasgow on the outbreak of World War II the pair played a big role in forming the New Art Club and New Scottish Group of painters, and Morris founded the Celtic Ballet which in 1960 developed into the Scottish National Ballet. Fergusson encouraged his wife’s artistic talents and she emerged as a clever, decorative painter and draughtsman, adept at catching a likeness in movement. Among her books was The Art of J D Fergusson, 1974. The first comprehensive show of her work occurred at Cyril Gerber Fine Art, Glasgow, 1984, which held a centenary show in 1991. After Morris’ death her dance work continued through the International Association of Margaret Morris Movements in many countries.
JOSEPH HENDERSON RSW (SCOTTISH 1832 - 1908) ROW BOAT COMING IN TO SHORE oil on board, signed and dated 1878framedimage size 50cm x 80cm, overall size 59cm x 88cmNote: Joseph Henderson was born on 10 June 1832 in Stanley, Perthshire, He was the third of four boys. When he was about six, the family moved to Edinburgh and took up residence in Broad Street. The two older boys joined their father, also Joseph, as stone masons. Joseph’s father died when Joseph was eleven leaving his mother, Marjory Slater, in straightened circumstances. As a result, Joseph and his twin brother, James, were sent to work at an early age and the thirteen-year-old Joseph was apprenticed to a draper/hosier. At the same time, he attended part-time classes at the Trustees’ Academy, Edinburgh. At the age of seventeen, on 2 February 1849, he enrolled as an art student in the Academy. From the census of 1851, Marjory, Joseph and James were living at 5 Roxburgh Place, Edinburgh. Marjory was now a ‘lodging housekeeper’ with two medical students as boarders. James was a ‘jeweller’ while Joseph was a ‘lithographic drawer’. In the same year Joseph won a prize for drawing at the Academy enabling him, along with fellow students, W. Q. Orchardson, W. Aikman and W. G. Herdman, to travel to study the works of art at the Great Exhibition in London, which he found to be a very formative experience. He left the Academy about 1852-3 and settled in Glasgow. He is first mentioned in the Glasgow Post Office Directory for 1857-8 where he is listed as an artist living at 6 Cathedral Street. Joseph Henderson’s first exhibited work was a self-portrait which was shown at the Royal Scottish Academy (RSA) in 1853. He painted several portraits of friends and local dignitaries including a half-length portrait of his friend John Mossman in 1861. His painting, The Ballad Singer established his reputation as one of Scotland`s foremost artists when exhibited at the RSA in 1866. Throughout his career he continued in portraiture. He executed portraits of James Paton (1897) a founder and superintendent of the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum (this portrait was bequeathed to Kelvingrove in 1933) and Alexander Duncan of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. He also painted Mr. Scott Dickson, Sir Charles Cameron, Bart., DL, LLD (1897) and Sir John Muir, Lord Provost of Glasgow (1893). His portrait of councillor Alexander Waddell (1893) was presented to Kelvingrove in 1896. However, it is probably as a painter of seascapes and marine subjects that he became best known. His picture Where Breakers Roar attracted much attention when exhibited at the Royal Glasgow Institute (RGI) in 1874, ‘as a rendering of angry water’. Henderson was in part responsible for raising the profile and status of artists in Glasgow and was a member of the Glasgow Art Club (he was President in 1887-8), the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts (founded 1861) and the Royal Society of Painters in Watercolour. Between 1853 and 1892, he exhibited frequently at the RSA and at the RGI and between 1871 and 1886 he had twenty pictures accepted for the Royal Academy in London. In 1901 he was entertained at a dinner by the President and Council of the Glasgow Art Club to celebrate his jubilee as a painter. He was presented with a solid gold and silver palette. An inscription on the palette read: ‘Presented to Joseph Henderson, Esq., R.S.W. by fellow-members of the Art Club as a mark of esteem and a souvenir of his jubilee as a painter, 8th January 1901’ Joseph Henderson was married three times. On 8 January 1856 he married Helen Cosh (d. 1866) with whom he had four children including a daughter Marjory who became the second wife of the artist William McTaggart. On 30 September 1869 he married Helen Young (d. 1871) who bore him one daughter and in 1872 he married Eliza Thomson with whom he had two daughters and who survived him. Two of his sons, John (1860 – 1924) and Joseph Morris (1863 – 1936) became artists; John was Director of the Glasgow School of Art from 1918 to 1924. By 1871 he had moved with his family; wife Helen, daughter Marjory and sons James, John and Joseph and his mother Marjory from Cathedral Street to 183 Sauchiehall Street. He also employed a general servant. He is described in the census as a ‘portrait painter’. In 1881, Joseph was living at 5 La Belle Place, Glasgow with Eliza, two sons and four daughters. He later moved to 11 Blythswood Square, Glasgow. In the 1901 census he was still at this address with his wife Eliza, sons John and Joseph and daughter Mary and Bessie. His occupation is ‘portrait and marine painter’. Joseph Henderson painted many of his seascapes at Ballantrae in Ayrshire. At the beginning of July 1908, he again travelled to the Ayrshire coast. However, he succumbed to heart failure and died at Kintyre View, Ballantrae, on 17 July 1908 aged 76 and was buried in Sighthill cemetery in Glasgow. A commemorative exhibition of his works was held at the RGI in November of that year. A full obituary was published in the Glasgow Herald. As well as his devotion to art, Joseph Henderson was a keen angler and golfer. A contemporary account states that he was ‘frank and genial, with an inexhaustible fund of good spirits and a ready appreciation of humour, of which he himself possesses no small share’. Thirty-six of his paintings are held in UK public collections.

He spent most of his life in Norfolk and concentrated on painting birds, especially waterfowl, and hunting scenes. He was a student at Bideford Art School and Cambridge School of Art. He was a member of the Royal Society of British Artists. Southgate painted mainly birds and sporting scenes. His paintings of ducks and other birds in Patterson 1904 (for instance "The Stricken Mallard") were internationally renowned. Frank Southgate died in 1916, whilst serving in the Army during the First World War in France, aged 43 years.

* LAURENCE BRADSHAW (BRITISH 1899 - 1978) PINE TREE pastel on paper, signed 'L H B' and dated '77mounted, framed and under glassimage size 41cm x 29cm, overall size 63cm x 49cm Note: Sculptor, painter, engraver, stage designer, author. Born in Liscard (Wallasey), Cheshire. According to his family and confirmed by his baptismal record, Laurence's father was Peter Bradshaw, a commercial traveller. However, based on the Census Returns, probably by 1901 and certainly by 1911 Laurence and his mother, Annie Henderson (born c.1866 or c.1871 in Scotland) were described as son and wife of John Bradshaw (born in Liverpool or Warrington, Lancashire c.1869), antique dealer and bookseller. It is presumed that Peter Bradshaw changed his name to John c.1900. Laurence started his higher education at the University of Liverpool during the First World War and then (c.1916) began studying painting at Liverpool School of Art with William Penn. He was advised to study sculpture as well and, after attending some classes in Liverpool (presumably under Charles John Allen then teacher of modelling), he completed his studies in London and Paris. In London, Bradshaw studied at Leon Underwood's Brook Green School of Drawing (dates uncertain). During the mid-1920s Bradshaw worked first as a pupil and then as an assistant to Sir Frank Brangwyn. One of Bradshaw's earliest commissions for sculpture was a series of low reliefs c.1928 for the Brompton Oratory (London) depicting the life of Saint Philip Neri founder of the Oratorian Order. Other commissions followed including: Radcliff Maternity Home (1935); Watford Town Hall; Cambridge Guild Hall; the County Offices in Winchester; and Worthing Town Hall. Private commissions were also an important part of his practice, over a long career he made many portrait busts of writers, politicians, poets, journalists and actors. His most famous work, however, was the memorial to Karl Marx in Highgate Cemetery (1956). This reflected his political beliefs. Bradshaw was a committed communist and worked actively in politics throughout his career.

In 1866, supported by the Aberdeen collector, John Forbes White, he went to Holland to study under the landscape and genre painter, Gerrit Mollinger. He became a close friend of Jozef Israels. He returned to Scotland in 1869, producing landscapes and portraits influenced by both Dutch and French contemporary painting. He was elected President of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1891 and knighted in 1902. Two hundred and sixty-two of his paintings are held in UK public collections.
* JOHN MACLAUCHLAN MILNE RSA (SCOTTISH 1885 - 1957), A VIEW OF ST TROPEZ watercolour on paper, signed mounted, framed and under glassimage size 47cm x 63cm, overall size 76cm x 91cmNote: Although John Maclauchlan Milne was best known as a painter in oils, he also worked in watercolour. Few of his French watercolours have come to the market in recent years but "A View of St Tropez" is an exceptionally fine and rare example. During the First World War Maclauchlan Milne left his home in Dundee to fight in France on the Western Front. France had a strong impression on the young artist. From 1919-1932 he spent long periods in France. Initially, he stayed at rue des Quatre-Vents in Paris but by 1924 Milne was in Cassis with Peploe, Cadell and Duncan Grant. They also spent considerable time in St Tropez. Almost all his exhibits in the 1920’ s were of Mediterranean subjects. His obituarist wrote ‘ like Peploe, he saw Cézanne and was immediately conquered. Here in the Midi, Milne found himself and the impact of this new experience stamped all his subsequent work’. In The Scottish Pictures Auction of 24th September 2021, lot 2032 "Market, St Tropez" a 37 x 49cm watercolour by Macluachlan Milne sold for £8500 (hammer).
HENRY MOORE RA RBA RWS (BRITISH 1831 - 1895), UNLOADING THE CATCH oil on canvas, signed and dated 1872framedimage size 34cm x 59cm, overall size 44cm x 70cmNote: A member of a distinguished family of Yorkshire artists, Henry Moore rose to become one of the best marine painters of his day. Working in both oil and watercolour, he treated the sea ‘as a subject sufficient in itself, rather than simply the background of a battle, shipwreck, or even landscape’. Henry Moore was born at 14 Castlegate, York, on 7 March 1831, the tenth of fourteen children of the portrait painter, William Moore, and the second son by his second wife, Sarah Collingham. Four of his brothers were artists: Edwin Moore, William Moore Jr, John Collingham Moore and, most notably, the youngest, Albert Moore, a leading painter of the Aesthetic Movement. Henry Moore studied under his father before attending York School of Design, from 1851. Two years later, in 1853, he moved to London, where he joined his brother, John, in lodgings near Oxford Street, and began to exhibit at the Royal Academy, even before he entered the Royal Academy Schools at the end of the year. Indeed, while he remained at the RA Schools for only a few months, he continued to exhibit at the RA almost annually. In 1855, he also began to exhibit at the Society of British Artists, the British Institution and the Portland Gallery. He spent the summers of 1855 and 1856 painting the mountains of Servoz, near Chamonix, and first became known for producing Alpine as well as British landscapes in the Pre-Raphaelite manner. In 1857, a series of visits to Clovelly on the north Devon coast inspired Moore to turn to marine subjects, and especially panoramic vistas of the open sea, which he believed had not been fully achieved in painting before. In the decade or so following his marriage to Mary Bollans, of York, on 19 July 1860, he divided his time between landscapes and seascapes, and developed a reputation for his precise observation of the atmosphere and form of the sea. However, he gradually modified his style, employing broader handling and bolder colour. The evolution and increased mastery of his work were based on extended experience and careful study, made on board ship as well as from land. He was known to cross England in order to observe a bad storm. Though elected a member of the Society of British Artists in 1867, Moore resigned eight years later, at the time that he began to devote himself completely to seascapes. He exhibited these at a wider range of metropolitan venues, including the Dudley Gallery, the Grosvenor Gallery (founded in 1877) and the New Gallery (founded in 1888), and in the provinces. Elected to the membership of the Royal Society of Painters in Water-Colours (ARWS 1876, RWS 1880) and the Royal Academy (ARA 1885, RA 1893), he was also awarded the grand prix at the Exposition Universelle, Paris (1889) and, as a result, the Légion d’honneur. In 1887, the Fine Art Society mounted a large solo show of his work, while he was represented alongside his father and brothers in an exhibition devoted to the Moore family of painters in York in 1895. For much of his career, Moore had lived in Sheffield Terrace, Kensington, and it was there that he and his wife brought up their two daughters, Agnes and Florence, the first of whom became a painter of flowers. However, late in the 1880s, they moved to 39 Maresfield Gardens, Hampstead. Henry Moore died at the High Cliff Hotel, Margate, on 22 June 1895. His work is represented in numerous public collections, including the British Museum, Tate and the V&A; and Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery, Leamington Spa Art Gallery & Museum, Manchester Art Gallery and York Art Gallery.

Fraser was the biographer of the Scottish artist, Horatio McCulloch. Fraser’s childhood interest in painting was nurtured by his father Alexander an able amateur artist, who gave him elementary tuition. He enrolled at the Trustees’ Academy in Edinburgh, supplementing his studies by attendance at the life school of the Royal Scottish Academy (RSA). By the early 1850s he had abandoned Scottish genre and devoted himself exclusively to landscape. Fraser was among the first Scottish painters to work en plein air direct from nature. He was a good friend of Samuel Bough and Horatio McCulloch. After a time spent working in England, he returned to Edinburgh where he enjoyed most recognition as annual exhibitor at the RSA from 1847, and was a frequent exhibitor at the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts from 1861 until his death in 1899. Sixty-five of Fraser's paintings are held in UK public collections including: Glasgow Museums, The National Galleries of Scotland, The Hunterian, Dundee Museums, Paisley Art Institute, Sheffield Museums, Kirkcaldy Museums, The RSA, Hospitalfield, Rozelle House, Perth & Kinross and The City Art Centre (Edinburgh).

He spent every spare moment walking the fells that he loved so deeply. The first Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells was published in 1955 and in his introduction he wrote: 'This book is one man's way of expressing his devotion to Lakeland's friendly hills. It was conceived, and is born, after many years of inarticulate worshipping at their shrines. It is, in very truth, a love-letter.' He spent 13 years compiling the seven Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells, tramping the fells in all weathers at weekends, with raincoat, map and camera. Most of his fine, individual drawings were taken from his photographs. The Pictorial Guides were and are still distinctive. Fearing that printers would misspell words, his handwritten work was reproduced directly on to the page; the Westmorland Gazette of Kendal published them all. Wainwright also devised, during 1970-1, the Coast-to-Coast Walk which starts at St Bees Head on the Cumbrian coast and ends at Robin Hood's Bay on the North Sea. This is perhaps the most popular of all long-distance walks. The inaugural meeting of 'The Wainwright Society' was held on November 9th 2002 at Ambleside Youth Hostel. Numerous sketchbooks and volumes of drawings followed but in 1984 his writing took a dramatic turn. He agreed to write a book for the London publishers, Michael Joseph, which was illustrated with photographs by Derry Brabbs. Fellwalking with Wainwright became a bestseller overnight and was followed by a further seven illustrated books. Two of the books, Wainwright in Scotland and Wainwright's Coast-to-Coast Walk were accompanied by BBC2 television programmes and suddenly the reclusive walker became a virtual 'national treasure'.

He travelled extensively in Europe but came back to Scotland in 1926 to teach engraving at the Glasgow School of Art (where he taught and inspired Ian Fleming RSA RSW RGI), and later lived in Leeds and Middlesex. He produced paintings and etchings in a style influenced by Mannerism. Murray had his first major one-man show at The Leicester Galleries (London) in 1946 and another at Batley Art Gallery in 1950. There was a Memorial exhibition at Temple Newsam House (Leeds Museum & Art Galleries) in 1955 and an Edinburgh International Festival show at the Merchant Company Hall in 1977.

GEORGE SMITH RSA (SCOTTISH 1870 - 1934), HORSE AND CART AT BARN oil on boardframedimage size 29cm x 39cm, overall size 36cm x 45cmLabel verso: Painted by George Smith RSA, Certified by Jessie Smith, his Sister, 1935.Note: George Smith was born on 2nd February 1870 in Mid Calder, a village formerly in the county of Midlothian. He attended George Watson's Boys College in Edinburgh from October 1882 and his formal training as an artist commenced at The Trustees Academy (Edinburgh) in 1885. At the age of nineteen Smith travelled to Antwerp to train under Verlat at Academie Royale des Beaux-Arts d'Anvers. After returning to Edinburgh he enrolled at the Royal Scottish Academy Life School where his fellow students included Samuel J Peploe and Robert Brough. Smith won the Keith Prize (1894) for the best painting by a student of the Life School at the RSA Annual Exhibition. George Smith had his first painting accepted for the RSA Annual Exhibition in 1888 when he was only eighteen years of age and probably uniquely had at least one painting accepted every year for the rest of his life. A total of 122 entries were accepted at the Royal Scottish Academy (RSA) until his death on 26th November 1934 and in 1935 a further five were exhibited. He also exhibited 87 paintings at the Royal Glasgow Institute (RGI) between 1892 and 1935. His work was also exhibited at Royal Academy (London), in Liverpool at The Walker Art Gallery, at Manchester and at the Royal Hibernian Academy in Dublin. He also exhibited abroad including at Rome (1911) and at The Munich International Exhibition in 1912. In an issue of "The Studio" in 1908 it stated "in every important art centre from St Petersburg to Paris his work is favourably known". George Smith's considerable commercial success was probably why his style and subject matter of horses or cattle in association with man in a rural environment changed little during his career.
WILLIAM BRADLEY LAMOND RBA (SCOTTISH 1857 - 1924), MAKING BANNOCKS oil on canvas, signed, titled label verso framed image size 36cm x 46cm, overall size 47cm x 55cm Label verso: Forrest McKay, Edinburgh Provenance: Bonhams, Edinburgh, 9th June 2011 lot 167. Note: William Bradley Lamond was born at Newtyle, Angus. He had no formal art training and worked for the Caledonian Railway company for many years. He initially specialised in portraits and later worked on landscapes which have been described as "vigorous impressionistic scenes in oil – with a strong use of colour". He was elected a member of the Royal Society of British Artists in 1906, and exhibited at the Royal Academy (London), Royal Scottish Academy and Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts. William Bradley Lamond first publicly exhibited his work at Dunfermline's Fine Art Exhibition in 1883, followed by the Dundee Fine Art Exhibition in 1884. Five years later he showed at the Royal Scottish Academy for the first time with the painting "A Mile Abune Dundee". In 1890 he became one of the founding members of the Dundee Graphic Arts Association and had work shown at Robert Scott's gallery in the city. His first notable commission came the following year – a presentation portrait of Sgt Major Kilgour of the Dundee Highlanders. Around 1894, he hit on one of his most profitable subjects – shore scenes featuring seaweed gatherers at work with horse and cart. He showed one such scene at Scott's which the Evening Telegraph hailed alliteratively as "a brilliant bit of brightsome work". It was soon bought by a local collector and Lamond painted many more variations on the same theme, including "A Breezy Day" (1896). In 1895 he had his most successful year yet, showing at the Glasgow Institute and the RSA and ending with an exhibition of paintings and sketches in his studio at 61 Reform Street. Although Lamond eschewed modern art, his compositions were often regarded as distinctive due to his preference for capturing particular effects rather than selecting subject matter because of its social or symbolic meaning, in contrast to other Dundee painters such as John Duncan or Stewart Carmichael. In 1898, 60 of his paintings were auctioned by William Fyfe at the City Assembly Rooms, fetching prices of up to 19 guineas. In 1900 he showed at the Royal Academy (London) for the first time and soon began to cultivate a London audience. In 1902 he opened his first one-man show in London, at Clifford's Gallery in Haymarket. Although many Dundee illustrators and cartoonists had enjoyed success in London (such as Martin Alexander and Max Cowper), the city's painters had rarely made such an impact in the capital. Lamond returned to London in 1903 to undertake a number of commissions and later that year was elected a member of the Royal Society of British Artists, recognised as "a painter of strength, with a true eye for colour harmonies and a special aptitude for interpreting the beauties of northern landscape and coast scenery". He continued to show work at the exhibitions of the RBA, RSA, Glasgow Institute and GAA but A, but in 1906 his health broke down. By summer 1908 Lamond was back in Dundee, where he held an exhibition of his latest work in his new studio at 3 Constitution Road; the following year he moved to 27 Bank Street where he would remain for the rest of his life. In 1915 he gained a celebrity patron in the person of music hall legend Harry Lauder, who commissioned two paintings from him and visited him periodically in both Dundee and Auchmithie. During the Great War, Lamond continued to paint as much as ever, spending his summers in Auchmithie then showing the results in exhibitions in his studio each autumn. Lamond died of pneumonia in 1924 at his home in William Street. Thirty-two of William Bradley Lamond's paintings are held in Scottish public collections.
WILLIAM BEATTIE BROWN RSA (SCOTTISH 1831 - 1909), ON THE RIVER OUSE, HUNTINGTON oil on canvas, signedframedimage size 30cm x 45cm, overall size 47cm x 63cm Note: TRANSCRIBED FROM THE 1909 RSA ANNUAL REPORT: Born in the neighbourhood of Haddington in 1831, Mr. Brown was early brought to Leith and received his education at the High School there. He seems to have exhibited first in 1852, when a picture of his “On the Water of Leith,’ was placed in the Scottish Academy’ Exhibition, and from that date his name was seldom or never absent from the Academy’s catalogues, In 1862 his picture “Sunrise—The Carrier's Cart,’ increased his reputation both amongst the public and in Art circles. During his earlier career his subjects were mostly drawn from the neighbourhood of Edinburgh, or from the border of Neidpath and Roslin, associated with his contributions to counties, as 1s evinced by the names of Tweed and Jed, the Academy’s exhibitions; but, from about 1860 onwards, though he frequently drew his material from the Scottish Lowlands—and, on occasion, from England and the Continent—Mr. Beattie Brown was best known as a painter of Highland scenery, in the delineation of which he struck a note which secured for him a wide popularity amongst his fellow-countrymen. Though he held strongly individual views in regard to the affairs of the Academy, which he never failed to state with courage, his cheerful and buoyant disposition gained him many friends both within and beyond the ranks of his professional brethren. Mr. Beattie Brown was elected an Associate of the Academy in 1871, and attained full honours in 1884.
