A pair of French lead portrait roundels of Napoleon, 19th century, one with the Emperor in profile, the other a double portrait with Josephine, each inscribed ANDRIEU to the truncation and in stained hardwood frames; 18cm diameter; a Victorian copper medal with Prince Albert and other monarchs in relief, within an elaborate figural border, in ebonised frame, 17cm diameter; and another roundel of NapoleonCondition Report: The roundels have not been inspected out of their frames, so the writer of this report cannot comment on their reverse.The lead roundel of Napoleon has some nicks and dents to the outer edge, and both of these roundels are slightly scratched and scuffed, with some old splits and knocks to frames (which also bear a lacquer-like residue).The copper roundel appears a little bit pitted, and there is some wear to the ebonised frame.

Born in Burma in 1933, she returned to live in Glasgow aged 6, along with her parents and two brothers, and her love of art developed in the city’s Kelvingrove Galleries. Dr Cargill Thompson lived frugally, collected art passionately and never viewed her purchases as a monetary investment, donating over 1000 pieces to Strathclyde University. A graduate in physiology and pharmacology, Dr Cargill Thompson initially worked as a research scientist, before making the decision to pursue a career in librarianship, being awarded the Princess Royal Medal for services to the discipline. This work, from the Cargill Thompson library, can be traced to the family’s routes in The East India Company and Burma. The Cargills were merchants in Glasgow, with interests in the East India Trading Co., and proceeded to found The Burmah Oil Company.

Tom McNeely (Canadian, B. 1935) "Cesar Chavez" Signed lower right. Original Watercolor painting on Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original painting which was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 37c Chesar Chavez stamp issued May 22, 2003. Cesar Estrada Chavez was born on March 31, 1927, on a small farm near Yuma, Arizona. After losing their land during the Great Depression, Chavez's family was forced to migrate throughout the Southwest, laboring in fields and vineyards and living in a succession of migrant camps. In 1952, Chavez was working in apricot orchards outside San Jose when he became involved with the Community Services Organization (CSO), a self-help group created by Saul Alinsky's Chicago-based Industrial Areas Foundation. Within months, Chavez was a full-time organizer with the CSO, coordinating voter registration drives, fighting racial and economic discrimination and organizing new CSO chapters throughout the region. Named general director of the CSO in 1958, he resigned four years later to found the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA). In September of 1965, Chavez began leading what became a five-year strike by California grape pickers and a nationwide boycott of California grapes that rallied millions of supporters across the country. His subsequent battles against agribusinesses led to the signing of many bargaining agreements. In 1966, the NFWA merged with another labor group to form what became known in 1971 as the United Farm Workers of America (UFW). Cesar Chavez was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1994 in recognition of his nonviolent activism and tireless support of working people. Image Size: 18 x 15.5 in.
