RARE Sir Montague Maurice Burton (1885 1952) signed on two of his own books. Born Meshe David Osinsky, he came alone to Britain in 1900, to escape the Russian pogroms and changed his name to Montague Burton. He was well educated but arrived unable to speak English. He founded Burton Menswear and by 1913 Burton had five mens tailor shops with headquarters in Sheffield and manufacturing in Leeds. By 1929 he had four hundred shops, factories and mills. During WW2, his firm made a quarter of all British military uniforms and just after the war his company made a third of demobilisation clothing. Burton Menswear became one of the largest high store street chains in the UK. In 1943 Montague Burton published his book The Middle Path Talks on Collective Security, Arbitration and other aspects of International & Industrial Relations.

Charles J Lundgren (New York, Connecticut, 1911 - 1988) "Sailing Ship Crossing the Ocean" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. A century ago, the billowing sails of clipper and packet ships were regularly sighted off the shores of nations around the globe. Magnificent ships such as these changed the world. They narrowed oceans, brought peoples and nations together and created a sharp dividing line between past and future. These mighty vessels carried immigrants and their dreams to new worlds and delivered vital materials to growing nations, encouraging trade between all four corners of the globe. The beauty and grace with which they sailed the seas held anyone fortunate enough to see them in awe. Nothing quite compared to the sight of a clipper ship, her sails flickering against blue water, effortlessly propelled by invisible breezes to some exotic port of call. Image Size: 20.75 x 17.75 in. Overall Size: 26.75 x 23.25 in. Unframed. (B07924)
