His distinctive style and keen eye for detail ensured that he became one of the BBCs most-used artists through the 1970s and 80s.Born in Woolwich, south-east London, Paul attended Brighton College and Epsom School ofArt. After completing his national service, he also became the banjo player for the Dedicated Men Jugband, who signed to Pye Records in 1965. The bands single, Boodle Am Shake, did not trouble the charts but Paul soon began designing sleeves for Decca Records.In 1965 working with BBC childrens TV he became a prolific illustrator for its programmes. For Jackanory he illustrated 14 stories, including A Dog So Small (read by Judi Dench) and Peter Pan, (some in this sale), as well as the BBC Sunday afternoon Bible stories series In the Beginning.His work for Jackanory continued for many years. He created the memorable opening titles for The Vikings in 1980, presented by Magnus Magnusson, and the iconic Miss Marple series, starring Joan Hickson. Paul also drew the backgrounds for the ground-breaking TV series Jane, starring Glynis Barber, which mixed cartoon backgrounds with live actors and was based on the 1940s comic strip of the same name. (some in this sale).In 1991, as well as supplying illustrations, he was in front of the camera playing himself each week in the BBCs six-part childrens TV history programme Now Then, an educational show that cleverly brought our ancestors to life.Paul taught illustration at Leicester Polytechnic, Epsom College and the Royal College of Art, but continued to work in TV, including delivering the titles for the Stanley Baxter Show on Channel 4. He branched out into book illustration with Salman Rushdies 1990 childrens fairy tale Haroun and the Sea of Stories, for which his lavish pictures were much lauded, not least by Rushdie. My father spent the latter part of his life on personal commissions. His work appeared at the Keith Chapman Gallery, London, in Royal Academy summer shows and Sunday Times watercolour exhibitions between 2003 and 2008, and in the Mall Galleries Discerning Eye exhibitions.PROVENANCE The artworks in this sale have been consigned by his family.NOTES: The pictures in this sale were prepared in various mediums often used by the artist and often in conjunction with one another, including, pen and ink, crayon, water-colour, gouache, pastel, and oil and acrylic paints on card or on paper.

Lot 57
Votive lamp. Cordoba, first half of the seventeenth century.In silver.Electrified.Measurements: 84 x 48 x 48 cm.Votive lamp in silver chiseled and embossed with floral motifs in the upper flared body and in the lower bowl, worked in the form of an inverted dome topped with a pinnacle. The votive lamps, also called Santísimo, have an extensive history and fulfilled a double function, of worship and of offering to a divinity in gratitude or fulfillment of a promise. Tradition dictates that these oil lamps, the work of silversmiths, goldsmiths and sometimes artisans of different disciplines, burn and illuminate in perpetuity the Blessed Sacrament or the venerated image in the chapels and altars of the temples to keep alive the devotion of the faithful. Endowed with ingenious technical solutions and decorated with refinement, they have embellished majestic Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque cathedrals. The use of votive offerings, deposited in sacred places for ritual reasons and to appease supernatural forces, dates back to the Neolithic period.
