Campbell (1885-1966) - Illustrator - Campbell's original watercolour on card illustration from Commander Edward Hamilton Currey's book ' Ian Hardy - Fighting The Moors ', the piece titled 'The Death Of Salim.'

Included alongside the painting is a folder of related ephemera regarding the publication, including letters from the Publisher to the Author, several handwritten letters from Currey (the author) to the publishers, letters from the Publisher to the illustrator and so forth.

Currey himself was a respected Royal Navy Commander and his history has been logged by the vendor within the folder. Also included is a draft copy of the illustration, with publisher's amendments noted in pencil. The folder of documents has been neatly presented and researched by the vendor. A late 19th / early 20th Century Middle-Eastern Jambiya ceremonial dagger is also included, and is presumed to have been the property of Currey - the scabbard and hilt profusely decorated in silver coloured white metal.
