Thomas Childs - Engineer & Amateur Photographer : Manuscript 'Chinese' Journal - " Thos Child's Diary 1869, From September 9th to August 27th. 1870, Containing an account of my voyage from London to Peking." Together with : "The Diary of Thomas Child - Years Residence in China, Vol 1. 1870." Two small leather bound volumes ( Foolscap 8vo ) containing manuscript entries for both accounts. See Condition Report for further details. CONDITION REPORT: Provenance : These diaries have been handed down by family members who were originally related to Thomas Child. There is a marked difference in the quality or standard of the hand writing between the 'Voyage' volume which is rather haphazard ( it may be that the author was struggling with sea-sickness and rough seas ) and the volume about the residence in Peking which exhibits an impressive calligraphic style. The first volume provides a fascinating insight into the rigours of sea & land travel including bed bugs, fleas, mice, sea sickness, cabin bunks, primitive toilets, constipation, agreeable and unpleasant fellow travellers ( sharing accommodation ), tours of ports of call - inhabitants, customs, food ( including at one point Flying Fish for breakfast ), historic sites, jungles, deserts, postal services, money and much else.The narration relating the arrival and residence in Peking covers similar ground in relation to local inhabitants, cultural and religious practices, buildings and architecture but also refers to the demands of his official employment as a Gas Installation Engineer. One section lists detailed descriptions of photographs he is about to send home. There is also an index to this volume. One curious feature of this volume is the presence of 19 printed pages at the beginning which appear to be printed copies of his letters sent to a Temperance Society in Deptford some details of which appear in the written accounts. Clearly he was also a member of a Masonic Lodge in the UK.

Andrew Vicari (1932-2016), "Harlequin & Gipsy Children", signed and titled on verso, oil on board, 121 x 176cm, 47.75 x 69.25in. Artists’ Resale Right (“droit de suiteâ€) may apply to this lot. * Andrew Vicari was a Welsh painter working in France, who established a career painting portraits of prominent people. Despite being largely unknown in his own country, as of 2004 Vicari was Britain's richest living painter and at one time Britain's 18th richest person. Between 1950 and 1952 he studied painting at the Slade School of Fine Art at University College London (UCL) under William Coldstream and occasionally Lucian Freud as teachers. After only two years, in 1952, Vicari left the Slade without completing his diploma course and went to Florence. He stayed there and in Rome for two years before returning 'penniless' to the UK. In 1974, Vicari was appointed as the official painter to the King and Government of Saudi Arabia. In the following decades, he painted many portraits of the Saudi royal family as well as scenes of Riyadh and Bedouin life. It is largely due to this patronage that Vicari owed his financial success and in 2011 earned him the title "The Rembrandt of Riyadh" from The New York Times. In 2001, he sold a collection of 125 paintings of the First Gulf War to Prince Khaled for £17 million. In 2006 his fortune was valued at £92 million by the Sunday Times Rich List. In October 2014, however, it was reported that Vicari had filed for bankruptcy and had been in poor health. Vicari died at Morriston Hospital, Swansea on 3 October 2016 at the age of 84.
