World. Gill (MacDonald), The "Time and Tide" Map of the Atlantic Charter, published George Philip and Son, 1943, pictorial colour photolithographic map, laid on later linen, 840 x 1110 mm Gill's 'Time and Tide' map was commissioned by Time and Tide magazine. It never enjoyed a large circulation and is therefore one of the scarcest of Gill's pictorial maps. The map celebrates the joint declaration released by Churchill and Roosevelt in August 1941 after the Atlantic Conference. The Atlantic Charter was a gesture of solidarity at a moment when Nazi Germany had just turned against the USSR and looked all but invincible. In time the charter would form the basis for Allied war aims and the postwar foundation of the United Nations. Gill takes an optimistic view of the Charter and of the future. He shows a muscled worker taking a sledgehammer to tanks and munitions in the foreground, while in the distance is an idyllic scene of ploughing and reaping. A nod to the book of Isiah and the turning of 'swords to ploughshares'. The map is adorned with quotes by Cicero, Emerson, Pope and Aristotle on the virtues of peace. Gill is probably best known for his 1913 'Wonderground map of London' and this map is still very much in the decorative and pictorial style that Gill became famous for. I am grateful to the research and blogs conducted and written by Rod Barron and Bryars & Bryars. (1)

In a single year, share prices rose from £100 to £1,000 - to come tumbling down in 1720. Innumerable personal fortunes were wiped out and many businesses and individuals were forced into bankruptcy. In France and Holland a similar bubble had been growing - and burst at exactly the same time. The Scottish economist/gambler John Law created a Mississippi Bubble by inflating the value of a series of companies trading in Louisiana, Stock prices shot up from 500 to 18,000 French pounds only to fall again to nothing which virtually bankrupted the French economy. Holland was only too aware of 'bubbles' having had its economy seriously damaged by the 'Tulip Bubble' which collapsed in 1637. This collection all appear to have been published in Holland. (52)

Holme was also a member of the Women's Social and Political Union and, in 1909, was appointed as Emmeline Pankhurst's chauffeur, despite Sylvia Pankhurst having described Holme as, "... a noisy, explosive young person, frequently rebuked by her elders for lack of dignity." Holme is also believed to have been in a long-standing relationship with Evelina Haverfield, daughter of Lord Arbinger and Commandant in Chief of the Women's Reserve Ambulance Corps during the First World War. Through this link Holme was dispatched to Serbia and appointed to manage horses and trucks in the Scottish Women's Hospital Units. Haverfield died in 1920, and Holme outlived her partner by 49 years and died in Glasgow in 1969. (a carton)
