The Basket Maker signed 'Stanley Anderson' (lower right); numbered 'Ed:50' and titled to the mount engraving 18.5 x 18cm; The Smith signed 'Stanley Anderson' (lower right); numbered 'Ed:65' and titled to the mount 19 x 20.5cm (2)Footnote: The basket maker, William Youens Fleet, of nearby Thame, is shown sitting at his lapboard weaving a half bushel basket. Traditional basket making tools, including a wooden rapping iron, picking knife and bodkin can be seen surrounding Mr Youens Fleet. Blacksmith, Rupert Timms, and his father, Ralph, of Aston Clinton, are the subject of The Smith. Typically working in pairs, the Timms descended from a long line of farriers. After the Second World War, smithing work was in decline and Rupert Timms began to diversify into ornamental metalworking. In a later engraving, Rupert can be seen forging a garden gate, surrounded by objects, including farrier’s hand tools and a tripod, which can be similarly observed in The Smith.

ABORIGINAL GLASS SPEAR POINT KIMBERLEY, WESTERN AUSTRALIA pressure flaked glass, formed of green glass worked into a spear point(8.7cm long)Footnote: Provenance: Private collection, United Kingdom Note: For a similar example please see The Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford, accession number 1932.34.1 "This spear point, like the many more like it in museum collections around the world, represents the coming together of two different artistic or technological traditions to create 'hybrid' objects. In this case, Australian Aboriginal methods of producing stone tools were hybridized with imported European materials to produce a sharper and more easily manufactured spearhead. But more than this ingenious re-use of material, these weapons are also excellent examples of the sort of pressure-flaked spear points that have been produced in the northern Kimberley and Arnhem Land for more than three thousand years. These points are bifacial, that is, they are worked on both sides of the blade. They were regarded very highly by many Aboriginal groups throughout Northern and Western Australia. Consequently, they have been documented as passing more than 1,000km to the south through trade. Known examples include those manufactured in bottle glass, porcelain from the insulators of cross-country telegraph cabling, as well as more the more traditional materials of quartzite and basalt used in pre-colonial times."
