§ Phyllis Ginger (British, 1907-2005) Street scene signed lower right within the print "Phyllis Ginger" colour lithograph 42 x 68cm (16 x 27in) Other Notes: Phyllis Ginger belonged to a generation of women artists whose work is relatively unknown, even though their contribution to English painting was substantial. Born in New Malden, Surrey, she trained at Richmond School of Art under Stanley Roy Badmin. She aspired to become an illustrator but she was more captivated by the medium of etching and portraiture as a subject. She first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1938. Ginger's skill as a topographical artist led to her involvement in the "Recording Britain" scheme, started in 1939. The V&A Prints and Drawings department holds 19 watercolours belonging to this scheme, her most important commission, completed for the Pilgrim Trust between 1940 and 1942. Condition appears fine.

Since her appearance in the first set of etched portrait heads in 1989, she has appeared as a subject in numerous prints. Julia was the main subject of study in Auerbach's etchings in the years 1998-2001, when she was usually drawn in the reclining pose that she adopted to save getting too tired. In some of the prints she is asleep. Condition is fine.
Lot 374
§ Hassan El Glaoui (Moroccan/French, b. 1923) Arab Rider with a White Horse signed "Hassan el Glaoui" lower left watercolour and gouache on board 49 x 64cm (19 x 25in) Provenance: Private collection, UK Other Notes: Despite opposition from his father, a powerful pasha named Thami, El Glaoui began painting in his teens and, following art education in France, he held his first show in 1952 in Paris. He then returned to Morocco in 1965, concentrating on painting horses. El Glaoui regards his work as a “living mirror of the past and the traditions which are still the essence of the Moroccan spirit. My love of my country has been the defining spirit of my painting. I have recorded our ancestral roots, the flowers in the Valley of the Kasbah and the red Cherifian palaces, the royal corteges with their long lines of white burnouses and the mounted cavalry and their horses" Today El Glaoui's work is highly prized, but he owes his career to Sir Winston Churchill, who discovered him in 1943, and talked his reluctant parents into sending him to art school.
Lot 379

They settled in the village of Barnack, near Stamford, in 1937 where he lived until his death.

Daum, Nancy, a good cameo glass table lamp, circa 1910, with wrought iron fittings, the shade signed in cameo Daum Nancy with the Cross of Lorraine, the base signed in cameo DN with the Cross of Lorraine 50cm (20in) Other Notes: Auguste and Antonin Daum took over their father's factory in 1890s and began to produce art glass, introducing their cameo glass wares at the Chicago World Fair in 1893. Cameo glass is made with multiple layers of glass carved to achieve a design in low relief and sometimes combined other techniques such as enamelling and intaglio carving. The Daum brothers were greatly influenced by their neighbour Emile Gallé. The Daum glass became increasingly popular after Gallé's death in 1904. After the First World War, the Daum shifted production away from Art Nouveau to Art Deco designs and began to mass produce pieces using the different technique of Pâte-de-verre.
