Sir Leslie Ward, 'Spy' (British, 1851-1922), Portrait of Mr F. Henry Royce, full length in a brown suit, signed Spy c.r., gouache, 54cm by 36cm, framedNote: Sir Frederick Henry Royce (1863-1933) was a distinguished engineer - his modesty caused him to label himself simply 'mechanic' - whose name is immortalised through his partnership with Rolls and the establishment of the eponymous automobile company. He was apprenticed to the Great Northern Railway Company in 1878 and later joined the Electric Light and Power Company in London before forming F H Royce in Manchester (registered as Royce Ltd in 1899), making electric fittings before graduating to dynamos and electric cranes. He patented the bayonet light fitting.He became increasingly interested in motor cars and, after purchases which failed to meet his own exacting standards, he decided to build his own. He produced three cars, which were called Royce and had two-cylinder engines. One of these was bought by Henry Edmunds, who introduced Royce to a friend, Charles Rolls; their historic meeting took place at the Midland Hotel in Manchester in 1904. Rolls had a showroom in London and agreed to take all the cars Royce could make, from two to six cylinders, and the marque Rolls-Royce was born. The relationship was formalised in 1906 as Rolls-Royce Ltd., with Royce as its chief engineer, but it was cut short when Rolls was killed flying his plane in 1910.Royce was beset by ill health, which forced his move to the South coast, but he oversaw the building of a new factory in Derby, to his own detailed plans, in 1908. In 1928 he began the design of the celebrated 'R' aero engine, which won the Schneider Trophy the following year. The success of this led to the development of another engine, the 'PV-12', which was to be of immense importance to the Royal Air Force, under the more familiar name of the 'Rolls-Royce Merlin'; it was to power the Spitfire, the Mosquito and the Wellington, among others, in the Second World War. He launched the engine in 1933 but died the same year, before its first test was completed.He was created a baronet in 1930 for his services to British Aviation. A statue stands outside the company headquarters in Moor Lane, Derby.Sir Leslie Ward (1851-1922), better known as 'Spy', was the most celebrated of the group of artists who worked for the magazine 'Vanity Fair', producing caricatures of the most notable figures of the day, royalty, statesmen, artists, athletes, actors, scientists and so on. Occasionally he painted more conventional portraits, of which this is a delightfully informal example, said to date from 1919.
