History from the family. Lewis was my American uncle on my father's side. His American mother Stella (nee Ford/1st husband Stuck/2nd husband Vivian) was Caroline Frink's niece. Carrie and Stella's mother Florence came from a homesteading family in Indian territory in Kansas. Stella married twice, Lewis was her first child born in 1916 in California. My father (a Vivian) was born in Canada to her second husband, who had a homestead in Alberta. That homestead has now passed to my brother in Canada.Lewis was sent back to his father in California to be schooled so that he would have better chances in life, rather than staying in Canada. He enrolled in the ROTC in high school and also attended a military college and Berkley University. He enlisted from there into the US Army and was sent to Italy during the war. He was shot down over Yugoslavia and although the other members of the crew got out of the plane before it crashed, Lewis's body was never found. There is an American war memorial near Florence and his name is inscribed there. My father, who was much younger than Lewis, and so hero worshipped his older half-brother, joined the Canadian Navy because of Lewis's example, and had a very long and successful career, meeting my mother on one of his postings in Plymouth.

ROBERT HOME (BRITISH 1752-1834) PORTRAIT OF LIEUTENANT-COLONEL WILLIAM SYDENHAM AND HIS WIFE, WITH ST THOMAS'S MOUNT, MADRAS IN THE BACKGROUND Oil on canvas 77.5 x 92.1cm (30½ x 36¼ in.)Painted circa 1791.Provenance: Arthur Tooth, London, 1946-7 (advertisement in The Connoisseur, March 1946) Private collection, UK Literature: Mildred Archer, India and British Portraiture 1770-1825, London 1979, pp.306-8, pl.212 William Sydenham (1752-1801), the son of Samuel Sydenham and Alice (née Chapman) of Minehead, came from a distinguished Devonshire family. He joined the East India Company's Madras Artillery as a Cadet in 1768. In 1776 he married Amelia Prime, niece of General Horne, who had also served with the Artillery in India. In 1786, at the time of the war with Tipu Sultan of Mysore, Sydenham was promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel in command of the First Battalion at St Thomas's Mount near Fort St George, Madras, which can be seen in the background of this painting. Home was a fine landscape painter and detailed landscape backgrounds give extra vividness to his portraits. William Sydenham was promoted to Major-General, Commandant of Artillery and AuditorGeneral of Fort St George in January 1801, but died in June of that year. Robert Home was an important recorder of British India in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. He studied with Angelica Kauffmann and between 1773 and 1778 worked in Italy. He exhibited twenty paintings at the Royal Academy between 1770 and 1789. His wife died in 1790 and the following year travelled to Madras to seek his fortune, just as General Cornwallis was setting off with the Grand Army for the Third Mysore War against Tipu Sultan. Home accompanied the campaign, making sketches of the forts and engagements; he later produced prints of Select Views in Mysore (1794) and paintings of Lord Cornwallis receiving the sons of Tipu Sultan as hostages and The death of Colonel Moorhouse (both c.1793-4; National Army Museum, London). Influenced by Thomas and William Daniell, who visited Madras in 1792, Home produced a number of landscapes which show exquisite attention to architecture and Indian life. In 1795 Home moved to Calcutta; he made a happy second marriage and his children joined him in India, all four sons becoming members of the East India Company's army. Home, a punctual, amiable and hardworking man, became the chief portrait painter in Calcutta. He painted the Governor-General of India, Marquis Wellesley, and his brother Major-General the Hon. Sir Arthur Wellesley (the future Duke of Wellington), as well as other generals and judges. He made a short visit to Dacca in 1799 to paint the Nawab Nasrat Jang. Home's successful portrait practice was threatened by competition from Thomas Hickey, who arrived in Calcutta in 1807, and by the dashing and eccentric George Chinnery, who arrived in 1811. In 1814 Home took up the post of Court Painter to the Nawab of Oudh at Lucknow. He worked for the Anglophile Nawab Ghazi-ud-din Haidar for thirteen years, painting portraits and court life, and designing Ghazi's crown when he was made King of Oudh in 1819, as well as carriages, boats, furniture, even an elephant goad. Home retired to a 'handsome establishment' at Cawnpore after Ghazi-ud-din's death in 1827, dispensing 'extensive hospitality to the residents of the station' until his own death at the age of eighty-two in 1834 Condition Report: The canvas has been lined. Light craquelure throughout however the paint surface appears stable. There is an old repair (approx. 5cm) running vertically through one of the soldiers to the left of the canvas, and this is visible in natural light. There is a further, very small patch of overpaint visible in natural light, to the sitter's skirt (approx. 5mm). Rubbing and abrasions to the framing edges. Inspection under UV light reveals scattered retouching and infilling throughout.Condition Report Disclaimer
EDWARD WILLIAM STOTT (BRITISH 1855-1918) TREES OLD AND YOUNG, SPROUTING A SHADY BOON FOR SIMPLE SHEEP Oil on canvas Signed (lower left) 38 x 46cm (14¾ x 18 in.)Painted in 1888.Provenance: Bridgeman Images (listed as Springtime) Waterhouse and Dodd, London Private Collection Literature: Webb. V, Edward Stott, A Master of Colour and Atmosphere, Sansom & Company, 2018, p. 56, ill. No. 19William Edward Stott was a British artist born in Lancashire. He attended Manchester School of Art before furthering his studies in Paris from 1880, enrolling first at the studio of Carolus-Duran, and then between 1882 and 1884, at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts under Alexandre Cabanel.He returned to England and helped to found the New English Art Club in 1886, which at its inception had 50 members. The idea behind this new group was that it would be an exhibiting society for artists influenced by Impressionism and rustic naturalism. Among its members were Sir George Clausen, Philip Wilson Steer, Walter Sickert, and Henry Herbert La Thangue.In 1906, Stott was elected Associate of the Royal Academy of Arts. 1888 was an important year for the members of the New English Art Club as it marked the opening of the New Gallery. Founded by J. Comyns Carr and Charles Edward Hallé, it was completed in time to house the annual summer exhibition on 8th May. The theme of shepherds and their flocks played an integral part in the portraying of rural life, and proved a popular subject at the New Gallery exhibitions. Certain artists focused on shepherds herding sheep into pens, whereas others depicted the shepherd and his flock at rest, as is the case with Trees Old and Young, Sprouting a Shady Boon for Simple Sheep. The title of the work is taken from Book I of Keats' poem Endymion (1818), of which a collection of his poems was published in 1884, four years before Stott produced his work. The reference to poetry in his painting was typical of New Gallery artists who found inspiration in combining art and poems. Both Alfred East and Arthur Tomson referenced lines from poems in their 1888 exhibition pieces. Condition Report: The canvas has not been lined but it does appear to have been strengthened with a primer (probably at the time of conception), which has caused the canvas to undulate slightly in some areas. Some very light scattered craquelure throughout with a slightly heavier patch to the centre lambs, which is starting to lift. In addition there are two small areas of loss (to the centre left lamb), each approx. 5mm. There is a third area of loss (approx. 5mm) to the grass left of the same lamb's leg which has been overpainted, and this can be seen in natural light. Inspection under UV light reveals the aforementioned area of retouching, but no further evidence of restoration or repair.Condition Report Disclaimer
