The Lord Roberts Memorial Fund Stamp Album, in memory of disabled soldiers and sailors, published by Fawcett & Co 125 Strand W.C. This khaki and gilt example is complete with collector cards inside.  Note: The idea for the fund originated in December 1908, when the Daily Telegraph celebrated its half centenary, by holding a dinner for 700 Crimean and Indian Mutiny veterans. Lord Roberts was the guest speaker and after paying tribute to the soldiers Lord Roberts VC walked amongst them and learnt that many of them were living in poverty. Lord Roberts immediately launched an appeal to help them, the money raised assisted over 800 ex-soldiers. After his subsequent death The Lord Roberts Memorial Fund was launched and soon £500,000 was raised which enabled the first workshop for disabled soldiers was opened in Fulham. The collectors album of 'war stamps' was one of many ways money was raised to continue this important work when British soldiers at the time were engaged in the First World War.

[ Peterloo Massacre ] A copy of Ralph Fletcher's oath of office as justice of the peace 1797, together with a small quantity of personal paperwork relating to the Fletcher family of Lancashire, comprising a letter to Miss Fletcher, a contract with Jacob Fletcher and his sons, a sermon dated 1803 and inscribed to Ralph Fletcher, minutes from a meeting relating to a portrait of the late Col. Fletcher, a sworn allegiance for John Fletcher to serve George IV in the Bolton Yeomanry Cavalry dated 1825 and his commission as a Lieutenant in the Duke of Lancaster's Corps of Yeomanry, by Edward, Earl of Derby, dated 1835[The Fletcher family were well-known industrialists in Lancashire owning mines and mills around Atherton. Ralph Fletcher (1757-1832), was colonel of the Bolton Volunteers, deputy Grand Master of the Grand Orange Lodge of England, spymaster and one of the local magistrates who triggered, then witnessed, the tragic events leading to the 1819 Peterloo Massacre in Manchester. Fletcher was a fierce loyalist who used his public roles as a soldier and magistrate to suppress radical political activism in the cotton towns of the north west of England whilst also running government spies and agents provocateurs in the region. In 1808, after the Bolton Volunteers disbanded, Fletcher took command of the local militia. During 1812 Luddites had been attacking Lancashire cotton mills in reaction to the widespread introduction of power looms. On 28 April 1812, Westhoughton Mill near Bolton, with 200 steam powered looms, was targeted and despite the late intervention of the militia, was burnt to the ground. In the reprisals which followed, coordinated by Fletcher, four men were hanged and nine transported. Although his spies were suspected of inciting the violence at the mill, for this service and his other activities against the Luddite threat, Fletcher was rewarded with a silver cup at a meeting on 12 July 1812 chaired by his fellow magistrate Thomas Ainsworth. By 1819, the Luddites had been suppressed only to be replaced by a new popular movement for political reform. On 16 August 1819 the Manchester Patriotic Union, a group agitating for parliamentary reform, organised a mass demonstration attracting up to 60,000 people. The local magistrates, including Fletcher, met in a house overlooking St. Peter’s Field where the crowd had gathered. When their attempt to arrest the speaker at the rally failed, they summoned the cavalry to help enforce the warrant. The local yeomanry responded first but, inexperienced, panicked and started cutting down the crowd. Regular Hussars then arrived to disperse the demonstration creating further chaos which led to the deaths of at least 11 people with a further 600 wounded. During the melée, Fletcher was seen beating some demonstrators with his stick. Despite their responsibility for decisions which led to the massacre, the magistrates were exonerated by the government and congratulated by the Prince Regent. In 1822, Fletcher received another large cup in appreciation of his services, this time from the people of Bury. Colonel Fletcher was in command of the Bolton Volunteers in 1805 when they were called upon to defend England from Napoleon’s proposed invasion martyndowner.com/current-exhibitions/peterloo-magistrates-cup]

The sketchbook is held in the V&A archives under reference E 281 - 1943. Had you been standing on the upper deck of the Folkestone steamer, steering into the harbour at Boulogne-sur-Mer at the turn of the twentieth century, your view on the port side, beyond the guard rail of the jetée de l'est, would take in the plage, and the Second Empire Casino. Sitting in public gardens that contained a saltwater bathing establishment, the lines of the casino prepared you for those of the great exhibition 'palaces' of Paris, a train ride away. A quick scan of your Baedeker would tell you that the casino opened every year for the summer season from 15 June to 15 October and a day ticket would cost you two francs. Since the lights are on in Philip Wilson Steer's view of the building, we can assume that the present canvas must represent a late summer evening. Although dated '92' we know that the painter spent the summer at Cowes in that year. He would have passed through Boulogne in 1887, 1888 and 1889, producing swift sketchbook notes, three of which relate directly to the present work (fig 1). Why, in the 1880s was Boulogne and its environs so admired, and why did it supplant Walberswick in Steer's affections? The answers are various - Dannes, Étaples, Montreuil and one or two other picturesque towns nearby were supporting small colonies of British and American painters, many of whom were working in loosely Impressionist styles, while further down the coast there were the familiar haunts of Monet and Boudin. Boulogne was also one of the main points of access to Paris in the late nineteenth century, its packet-boat service having commenced in 1849. In Steer's case the specific interest in Boulogne is likely to have come first from the early work of Manet that he saw in the artist's posthumous retrospective exhibition in Paris in 1884. 'When the Manet exhibition was held', he told John Rothenstein, 'I had never heard his name. But I went and was very much interested ...The landscapes I liked very much ...' Manet had of course visited Boulogne several times in the 1860s and on one occasion on the plage, had painted the twin piers that form the harbour entrance. Fashionable promenades, these breakwaters with their white handrails had not changed when Steer painted them twenty years later.Passing through the port in the late 1880s, and again in 1891, Steer must have realized that he needed to go no further for one of the most celebrated British Impressionist paintings, Boulogne Sands. Having already painted this beach, looking north to where the hillside rolls gently towards the shore in Boulogne Sands: Children Shrimping, the Casino waterfront was a key location.There is sufficient technical variation between the Tate and Ferens canvases to leave the precise date of most works ascribed to the artist's Boulogne corpus prior to 1891, open to debate. While he was known to be capable of working in several different styles at once, the dabs and dashes of a painting of girls busily building sandcastles on a blustery day, contrast with the serenity of the present townscape - a work that takes the eye beyond the casino to the rising land of the haute ville, and the tower of the Cathédral Notre Dame. At this moment when the noisy children have gone and the casino slowly becomes incandescent, the town sinks into the crepuscular light of evening. Bruce Laughton, Steer's 1960s champion, had not seen the present painting when writing his monograph, and accepted DS MacColl's earlier assessment of it. Recalling the painting in the 1940s and thinking of the celebrated 'nocturnes' of the 1870s, MacColl had reached for the word 'Whistlerian'. It now seems most likely that the artist post-dated Casino, Boulogne '92' at the time it left his studio and when it was recalled for his solo exhibition in 1894, it had passed into the collection of Thomas Humphry Ward (1845-1926), the principal art critic and occasional leader writer on the staff of The Times. Ward apparently 'disliked that it should be known' that he was the painting's owner. George Moore was keen to make something of the fact and in praising the painting he also exposed its purchaser to a wider readership: I like ... The Casino, Boulogne, the property, I note with some interest, of Mr T Humphry Ward, art critic of The Times ... Mr Humphry Ward must write conventional commonplace, otherwise he could not remain art critic of The Times, so it is pleasant to find that he is withal an excellent judge of a picture ... The buildings stand high up, they are piled up in the picture, and a beautiful blue envelopes sky, sea, and land. Nos 1 [the present picture] and 2 show Mr Steer at his best: that beautiful blue, that beautiful mauve, is the optimism of painting, is the peculiar characteristic of Mr Steer's work. Other critics concurred, referring to its 'perfect technique' and the 'decorative charm' of its colour. Painted 'freely and flowingly', the peacefulness of this evening on the French coast was conveyed with splendid spontaneity. It had, more than the overtly 'Impressionist' studies of 1891, a 'unity of vision' that Steer considered one of the essential 'laws' of good painting. He insisted, echoing Whistler, that scenes like that of the casino, may be 'commonplace and ordinary' to the layperson, but it was for the painter to find beauty in them. As one pulled into the harbour of an evening, this called for the subtle palette of warm greys and ochres of a hillside and buildings that surround the ghostly gaming house, framed between the hints of mauve in a peaceful sky and the cool cerulean blues of a rippling tide.
