The rare and historically important Defence of Legations group of medal to Arthur D. Brent, Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank: China Medal 1900, clasp: Defence of Legations (A.D. BRENT. H. K. & S. BANK); U.S.A.: Military Order of the Dragon, China 1900, with original ribbon and pagoda roof suspension bar (ARTHUR D. BRENT BRITISH LEGATION DEFENCE No 738), engraved to the reverse; Peking Seige Commemoration Medal, bronze, 57 mm, burning of the Chien Men, reverse: figures representing Europe, Japan and America trampling a Chinese dragon, in fitted J. Tayler Foot case with original explanatory notice (A.D. BRENT. (H.K.& S. BANK)), impressed to the rim, all extremely fine and rare. [3] When, in the summer of 1900, the foreign legation quarter in Peking was attacked and invested by hostile Chinese factions during the so-called 'Boxer Rebellion', Arthur Brent was assistant to the agent in charge of the Peking agency, Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, having 'come East' in 1897. The Agent, J.K. Tweed. elected to move the bank's cash into the relative safety of the British Legation. This was done by camel cart, under fire, with Brent running behind the cart picking up the coins that fell through the bullet holes. Brent not only endured the subsequent siege, during which such parts of the legation complex as had not been destroyed were defended by a tiny international force of professions and volunteers; but also took part in the fighting. In addition he acted as a news correspondent for Reuters, and his account was published in the London Daily News as 'The Seige of Peking by one who went through it. Diary of a besieged resident' (16th October 1900)'. We read hearing of the firefights in which he participated, and of the experience of living under heavy fire as provisions grew ever shorter. At an early stage of the siege Brent, a German speaker, accompanied a party of British and German marines as an interpreter. The small force (c. 50) set out to rescue refugees from a burned out Catholic Cathedral, and Brent took part in the close quarters fighting that resulted. Following the raising of the siege by a large multi-national relief force, Brent was sent to Shanghai with the bank's mail, arriving unkempt and with rifle in hand. He subsequently rose within the bank, becoming Manager of the Hamburg Branch in the years after the First World War. The British Medal and clasp was only awarded to 78 recipients, mainly Royal Marines, who formed the British component of the desperate defence. The American Order of the Dragon was formed by American officers who had taken part in operations in China in 1900, with provision made for admitting foreign participants as honorary members. The Commemorative medal, struck by J. Tayler Foot, is accompanied by a printed leaflet written by Brent himself, and "a limited number....have been made for those actually present at the seige". Ex. D.N.W., 25/02/1998 References: Frank H. H. King, 'The History of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, Volume II'

Original vintage World War Two propaganda poster commissioned by the C.E.M.A. (Council for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts - later to become the Arts Council of Northern Ireland), it features a painting by the respected artist Harold Sandys Williamson (1892-1978) titled 'September Hop-picking' and it was originally intended to be hung "where war workers congregate". In 1940, during the Second World War, the Council for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts (CEMA), was appointed to help promote and maintain British culture. Chaired by Lord De La Warr, President of the Board of Education, the Council was government-funded and after the war was renamed the Arts Council of Great Britain. The interest in the arts during World War II led to the first government subsidy of the arts in Britain with the founding of the Arts Council in 1946, championed by Jenny Lee. Williamson was born in Leeds and attended the Leeds School of Art from 1911 to 1914, when he moved to London to study at the Royal Academy schools. During the year he was at the Academy school he was awarded the Turner Gold Medal. At the start of World War One, Williamson sought to enlist in the Britiah Army and was, at his second attempt, accepted as a private in the King's Royal Rifle Corps in January 1916. Williamson was injured at least twice during the fighting on the Western Front in France. The first occasion was during the Battle of Delville Wood in September 1916, when he was hit by a grenade fragment. Whilst recovering from a subsequent infection, he undertook orderly work in the operating theatre at No. 6 General Hospital in France and made a number of paintings based his experiences there. Williamson was also injured in April 1918 at the Villers-Bretonneux sector, when the sunken road his unit was defending was overrun by German forces. This action became the subject of his painting A German Attack on a Wet Morning, April 1918, which Wiiliamson completed in the spring of 1919. The painting was shown at the Royal Academy in 1919 to some public acclaim and was purchased by the British War Memorials Committee. Although Williamson wrote an extensive set of notes to accompany the painting, he left it to others to point out that the figure in the work facing the viewer with an injured hand was a self-portrait. After the War, Williamson established himself as a commercial artist. He designed posters for the London Underground and London Transport between 1922 and 1939 and also for the Empire Marketing Board, the GPO and the Council for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts. In 1930 he was appointed Head of the Chelsea School of Art, a post he held until 1958. During his tenure there he recruited Henry Moore to lead a new department of sculpture at the college. Other artists employed by Williamson as teachers included Graham Sutherland, Ceri Richards and Claude Rogers. Williamson was elected to the London Group in 1933 and, from 1937 to 1943, he served as the Group's chairman. He also exhibited on a regular basis with the New English Art Club and at the Royal Academy. In World War Two, Williamson completed a number of short-term commissions for the War Artists' Advisory Committee on the work of the Post Office in the London Blitz.Year of printing: 1943, country of printing: UK, designer: Harold Sandys Williamson, dimensions (cm): 76x101.5.
