Robert O. Lenkiewicz (1941-2002) “Busker”, Edward Pike playing guitar and harmonica Vagrancy Project signed, inscribed and dated 1971 on the reverse oil on canvas130 x 62cm., with painted overlap and in a glazed frame. * The present work is a fragment from a huge painting entitled “The Apotheosis of Albert Fisher” executed circa 1970 in the artist studio hostel called Jacob”s Ladder. ** Albert Edward Ernest Fisher, “The Bishop”, was asked by Lenkiewicz to open the Vagrancy Exhibition. Lenkiewicz called him an extraordinary and tragic figure who was alcoholic and slept rough most of the time. He would tearfully recite the poetry he learned by rote at school and could quote large sections of The Ancient Mariner; “The Albatross sleeps on the wing, I sleep on the wing!”. The original painting, now lost, showed The Bishop rising into the air with the local policeman and dozens of figures beneath.

An important Charless II hooded wall clock with unique hours and minutes indication, by “William Clay, King”s Street, Westminster”, circa 1665, the substantial posted movement with square section pillars riveted to the bottom plate and pinned through the top plate, with four-wheel trains, restored balance wheel escapement and countwheel strike on a bell mounted above, the brass backplate mounted with alarm mechanism (now incomplete), the 9.75 inch x 9 inch square brass dial engraved with Roman numeral hour chapters with tulip half hour markers and finely executed differing floral spray spandrels, the overlaid rotating plate with rosette and Roman numeral hour chapters with well-cut steel hand for the alarm to centre within pointer denoting hours on the chapter ring behind, within outer band mounted with twelve further steel pointers, each in turn denoting the minutes via a finely engraved silvered sector at 12 o”clock, the lower edge with full signature, the later walnut hooded case with shallow arch pediment over rectangular glazed front to the rising cover over moulded apron and foliate scroll carved brackets, 54cm high, 33cm wide. Wetherfield Collection. William Clay is recorded in Britten, F J “Old Clocks & Watches and Their Makers” as working 1645-80. The dial is illustrated in figure 634 with an explanation of how the hours and minutes are denoted. Britten also cites that a watch by him was given by Cromwell to Col. Bagwell at the siege of Clonmel. Baillie records his dates as 1652-80 and adds that there is a watch by him in the Taunton Museum. The style of the engraving in the spandrels is reminiscent of some of the early longcase clock dials by Edward East, whilst the half hour markers and the rosette engraved centre are more typical of second period lantern clock work, suggesting a date of around 1665.
