Sarah Louise Kilpack (1840-1909), Unloading the catch, oil on card, 9.5 x 11.5cm. Sarah Louise Kilpack (1840-1909) was born at 42 King Street, Covent Garden, London and from an early age showed a great natural aptitude for music and drawing. At the age of 11, she played a Beethoven sonata at the Old St James’s Hall, near Piccadilly Circus. As she grew up, she played more and more concerts, the fees from which enabled her to journey out of London to the country where she would sketch ‘plein air’. In Jersey she struck up friendships with two families; the Brooke family who lived at Tamworth Villas, Colomberie and a Mrs Renouf who lived with her daughter in St Saviours Road. By all accounts, Sarah Kilpack found it difficult to place trust in people and was a rather solitary person. Her paintings seem to express her moods; dark and threatening in the storm pictures with occasional glimpses of her renowned warmth and affection in her languid sunset paintings and calm coastal landscapes. She exhibited each year from 1867 at the Society of Female Artists Exhibition (now known as The Society of Women Artists) London. Despite her earnings of some £500 a year throughout the 1880’s, she died in relative poverty in 1909. An exhibition of Channel Island paintings by Sarah Kilpack was held at The Cook Gallery, Jersey in 1989. This coincided with, and marked, the 150th anniversary of her birth. In the same year a set of commemorative stamps were produced entitled ‘Jersey Calms and Storms’. The views depicted were Gorey Harbour, La Corbiere, Freve De Lecu, Bouze Bay and Mont Orgueil. This, probably unique collection, depicts a complete range and subject matter. They are all small size, originating from sketch books in the artists collection. Provenance: Viola Gardener, Dulverton, Devon. Mrs June Day, nee Spanton-Brain, Devon. Mr William Elmhurst.

Sarah Louise Kilpack (1840-1909), Mount Orgueil, oil on card, 9.75 x 6.5cm, together with, Longboat approaching rocks, oil on card, 10 x 6.25cm, Figures on steps approaching a castle, oil on card, 9.75 x 7.75cm, Stormy shore with castle on a hill, initialled bottom left, oil on card, 9.25 x 7cm. (4) Sarah Louise Kilpack (1840-1909) was born at 42 King Street, Covent Garden, London and from an early age showed a great natural aptitude for music and drawing. At the age of 11, she played a Beethoven sonata at the Old St James’s Hall, near Piccadilly Circus. As she grew up, she played more and more concerts, the fees from which enabled her to journey out of London to the country where she would sketch ‘plein air’. In Jersey she struck up friendships with two families; the Brooke family who lived at Tamworth Villas, Colomberie and a Mrs Renouf who lived with her daughter in St Saviours Road. By all accounts, Sarah Kilpack found it difficult to place trust in people and was a rather solitary person. Her paintings seem to express her moods; dark and threatening in the storm pictures with occasional glimpses of her renowned warmth and affection in her languid sunset paintings and calm coastal landscapes. She exhibited each year from 1867 at the Society of Female Artists Exhibition (now known as The Society of Women Artists) London. Despite her earnings of some £500 a year throughout the 1880’s, she died in relative poverty in 1909. An exhibition of Channel Island paintings by Sarah Kilpack was held at The Cook Gallery, Jersey in 1989. This coincided with, and marked, the 150th anniversary of her birth. In the same year a set of commemorative stamps were produced entitled ‘Jersey Calms and Storms’. The views depicted were Gorey Harbour, La Corbiere, Freve De Lecu, Bouze Bay and Mont Orgueil. This, probably unique collection, depicts a complete range and subject matter. They are all small size, originating from sketch books in the artists collection.

The camp opened in 1942, with the North compound for British servicemen opened in June 1943. The position of the camp was selected in an attempt to prevent escape by tunnelling. However, this camp was the location of two of the war`s most famous escape attempts, potrayed in film in The Wooden Horse and The Great Escape. It is thought that over 600 prisoners worked on the three tunnels - Tom, Dick & Harry - depicted in The Great Escape. Harry was the only tunnel to be completed, the entrance hidden under a stove in Hut 104. Lindsay Greenaway drew a sketch of the tunnel in MacDonald`s log along with the verse "Silently below the surface/ twenty five feet below the floor/ thus the Goons have cause to curse us/ and remember - One-o-Four/ 24-3-43". Another sketch of MacDonald cobbling in his tartan troos was drawn by Alex Cassie in October 1944. A well known member of the escape team, Cassie worked on the endless list of forged documents required by the escapees. He was portrayed in the film by Donald Pleasance.
