* KATHARINE (KATE) CAMERON RSW (SCOTTISH 1874 - 1965), LAVENGRO & JASPER watercolour, pencil and ink, signed with initials as part of the inscription, and inscribed 'KC NOV 11 1921 to AK' (Armistice Day) 27cm x 21cm Mounted, framed and under glass OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE Provenance: Acquired Bourne Fine Art, Edinburgh, with label verso. Note: AK refers to Arthur Kay HRSA, the Glasgow businessman and noted art connoisseur, who married Kate Cameron in 1928. A rare personal gift from Cameron to her future husband with her characteristic pencil and watercolour floral decoration in exceptional condition. The text is from chapter 25 of Lavengro: The Scholar, the Gypsy, the Priest (1851) by George Borrow. Falling somewhere between the genres of memoir and novel, which has long been considered a classic of 19th-century English literature. According to the author lav-engro is a Romany word meaning "word master". The historian G. M. Trevelyan called it "a book that breathes the spirit of that period of strong and eccentric characters". After Borrow's death in 1881 Lavengro began to find a new audience and enthusiastic praise from critics. Theodore Watts, in an introduction to the 1893 edition, declared that "There are passages in Lavengro which are unsurpassed in the prose literature of England". This edition started a run of reprints which produced one or more almost every year for 60 years. Lavengro was included in the Oxford University Press World's Classics series in 1904.
