The Healing Arts

The Arts Project at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital J�� S��, R�� C��, Z�� P��, A�� H��, A�� M��, D�� F�� G�� S�� Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and its charity CW+ have been pioneers in the Arts and Health field for over 25 years. By bringing music, performance and the visual arts into the hospital, they have created an extraordinary environment and transformed the experience of countless patients, visitors and members of staﬀ. In this collection of essays, interested authors delve into the story of the Arts at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, from the installation of daring sculpture before the hospital opened its doors, to the exciting future of the programme. The Healing Arts discusses the impact of the Arts on patients’ recovery, in some cases shortening their stay or reducing their need for pain medication. From drawing to music to creative digital technology, this volume looks at how integrating the Arts into the day-to-day life of the hospital has changed its patients’ experience of care. James Scott is the founder of the Arts Project at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and a retired consultant orthopaedic surgeon. Richard Cork is the author of The Healing Presence of Art, which provides an in-depth look at the history of art in healthcare settings. Zoe Penn is the Medical Director for Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. Andy Hall is a musician and artist, and works as Music and Sound Research Lead for CW+ at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. Anouk Mercer is the current Drawerin-Residence at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. David Ferry is an artist and Chairman of the Chelsea Arts Club. Grace Saull is the Visual Arts Manager for CW+ at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

2 . Progress of the Soul

The Post-War Years, 1918–1927 . 3

Return from the Front Stanley returned to Cookham just in time for Christmas 1918. He resumed his work as an artist, first at Fernlea, the family home, and then in a nearby stable. But he struggled to come to terms with what he called ‘The Change’: his brother Sydney had been killed, Cookham felt very different, and Stanley himself was profoundly affected by his wartime experiences. He continued to be a prolific writer and correspondent. 26 December 1918 Fernlea Capt Henry Lamb MC, RAMC 27 Grosvenor Square, London W1 Dear Henry

The Post-War Years 1918–1927

I do not know where or how are you are. I hear that soon after your arrival in France you were badly gassed; also that you are better. You see where I am. I left Salonica on 24th Nov. and arrived in Southampton on 12th Dec. The first 2 days at home I felt quite faint with happiness. But I feel fit to burst with good health and just ‘lord’ it about the village, feeling very brutish indeed. Yockney is doing what he can to get me released and he feels so sure that he will be successful that he said to me when I last saw him that I should not return to Depot, which I should do on the 31st of this month. The little material I had in the Balkans was I fear lost in this last advance. Anyway we left our valises on the sector from which we advanced and I hear that they were all emptied and the personal property put in a great heap ‘somewhere’. I have ‘submitted’ to Yockney five sketches for ideas that I want to carry out. These I did as soon as I got home. Gil is still in Egypt so far as I know. My brother Sidney was killed last September and I did not know until I walked into our house on my arrival home. I hope this letter will meet you. With love from Cookham

The Post-War Years, 1918–1927 . 5

June 1923 10 Hill Street, Poole, Dorset This is the key in which this letter is written [sketch of key signature] Dear Hilda This is rather a spiteful letter so be prepared. I was delighted to have your letter. I never have letters, and I am really much more hard up than you for someone to express and share my feelings with. The amount of conversation that a ghostly Hilda has had to listen to since I have been here is appalling and as I am utterly fed up with the unrealness of this procedure I would love you to write but not if it is going to make you feel bad. I was baffled by a lot that you said in your letter, you seem to

Letter from Stanley to Hilda, June 1923

have entirely opposite views to me. For a person who has not the sense of the particular beauty that there is in painting big pictures, of course the bigness of them in that case would naturally seem ridiculous and absurd and meaningless. If you had a little more confidence in me and were not so scornful and aggressive about ‘big striking pictures’ I will try and express the feelings that painting big striking pictures gives me. But I know, though you won’t believe me, that it would be as unlikely for you to sympathise with my outlook, with respect to pictures if you knew it, though you might desire to do so; as it would be for Sargent or Turner, or Steer to do so. You belong to the Cézanne Renoir school, you seem to find peace in love: I can’t. I know you would be more delighted if you heard I had painted a tulip or a fly on a cushion, than if you heard I had completed the studies for the two sidewalls in the war scheme of pictures. I was not at all glad that you liked my hyacinth still life: it just established my convictions with respect to your feelings about my work. You like it because it is ‘humble’ ‘unpretentious’ and all the rest of it. I did that still life just to kill time and to save myself from being bored, and because I had no big picture to work on at the time. It is a perfectly uninteresting uninspired piece of work and has nothing the least characteristic of me in it, that is probably how you like it. I could only give you this painting with a bad grace so perhaps you had better not have it. I would love to see your painting, though perhaps you won’t feel like sending it to me now. I could hardly retain my rage when I read that page 3 of your letter. You say: ‘I think I would be more content if I could realise some great and true fact about existence and could express it in the minutest way, than if I painted the most striking’ (very scornful that) ‘picture in the world’. That is to say you would rather have a clear vision of some great truth about reality than paint a big picture. Well, the thing which causes me to paint the big picture, is the realisation of some great Truth. Without those realisations I should have no desire to paint any pictures, and I should have no revelation of spiritual truth if I did not desire to paint them. The big picture with me is an act of thanksgiving on my part for some great truth that has been revealed to me. It is the sheer joy of being able to say thank you to God. When anything is revealed to me that is especially wonderful I am so full of happiness that I want to show how grateful I am and I show it by painting big pictures. From the sentence I have quoted of yours painting big

6 . Progress of the Soul

Burghclere, 1927–1932 . 7

In February 1929 Hilda wrote to Stanley from Hampstead to tell him of the death of her beloved brother, Sydney, the previous day. Friday 15 February 1929 47 Downshire Hill, Hampstead Dearest Stan I hoped I was going to be able to send you good news of Sydney, but dear it isn’t good news. Oh how unbelievable it is, how impossible. I can’t really write what the true fact is, but we won’t see Sydney again. Mummer is coming home today, Bridget is here. George is going down there and Dick is there. Dearest Stan I can’t write any more as it makes me cry all the time, but if I get around and do jobs it is better. Take care of yourself dear and keep well. With much love From Hilda Studio photograph of Hilda

Saturday 16 February 1929 Chapel View, Burghclere Dear Hilda This must be just a short and uninspired note as I feel very unvital while ill and for a short time after. I must first relieve you of any anxiety about myself by describing my cold: it began on the day I left you remember. The train was nice and warm, windows closed excepting when I wanted them a little bit open at intervals. When I got to Burghclere on Tuesday afternoon I found Chapel View all cosy with a big fire and every comfort, no nasty cold rooms or draughty passages. I went to bed early with 2 water bottles and my cough was very bad all night so that next day Wednesday I was very done up with it. I remained in bed lying down all the time but managed to eat a little. Wednesday night I slept well and Thursday I felt the worst was over and a lot better. I stuck tight to my

POS Blad_FINAL.indd 6-7

bed however though somewhat differently to the way I did on Wednesday. On Wednesday I could take no notice of anything but on Thursday I was able to read a lot of ‘Sakoontala’ that Jas gave me. On Friday I still adhered to my bed though feeling quite fit except the cough still being rather ‘tight’ so that I have only just got up today (this morning) after being in bed since Tuesday night. My cold is still ‘tight’ though otherwise I feel as fit as ever. I have had a fire lit in the bedroom, and Elsie has been a good nurse and tonight I am going to have two hot bottles, some Ovaltine for supper and some Bovril in bed. I have not got the least unwell feeling not the least giddy or weak or headachey or sickeyfied only rather sore just across the chest where the exertion of trying to stop coughing on Tuesday night made a big strain on the muscles. Mrs Behrend has bought some Ellemans embrocation with which to rub my chest in bed. I would like to have been in London when the sad news came about Sydney so that I could have given you the comfort, feeble and inadequate though it is, that you seemed to need. I hope Mrs Carline is not at all unwell as a result of her week away. It’s a great blessing that Gwen has a mother like Mrs Harter to turn to. Louis Behrend said when he came in this afternoon that when he read an obituary notice of it in ‘The Times’ it gave him a shock. He told me you had rung up to know how I was and that he had told you that I had had a cold and was going on alright and that Mary had just gone to see how I was and that he would ring you up as soon as she had returned which he did. He conveyed your message to me about not going out and you can rest assured I shall not budge from the house until my cold has thawed. He said that in this Times notice of Sydney’s death there was a mention of you and something about your art or something. I had a ‘Studio’ sent to me today and when I saw it contained an article on Eddy Marsh’s collection I hoped to see (though not too hopeful) The Apple Gatherers leap forth, but no, that everlasting self-portrait met my gaze. But this ‘Studio’ Number also contained several reproductions of an article on Henry Lamb. Mrs Behrend worried as to the success of this show. She says the pictures are ‘pretty’ and does not like them very much. There is no wind at Burghclere at all and until yesterday no snow and every possibility in this house of keeping out draughts and avoiding

Progress of the Soul is the second volume of Stanley’s complete letters and writings, charting his return to Cookham at the end of the First World War, his period of adjustment to life in his beloved ‘village in Heaven’, his marriage to artist Hilda Carline and his disastrous relationship with his second wife, Patricia Preece in the early 1930s. During this time he produced some of his most famous paintings, including the great murals at the Sandham Memorial Chapel, Burghclere and The Resurrection, Cookham, yet he continued to write prolifically. His letters to Hilda and extensive writings reveal his innermost thoughts on love, religion and life – and oﬀer a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the greatest artists of modern times. Stanley Spencer KBE CBE RA (1891–1959) is one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. His paintings are detailed and vibrant, and often depict his deep but eccentric Christian beliefs. Spencer was born in Cookham, Berkshire, where he lived for much of his life; he is buried in Cookham churchyard.

My Dearest Heart

The Artist Mary Beale (1633–1699) P�� H�� Mary Beale (1633-1699) was one of the earliest professional women artists in Britain. Her successful career was documented by her husband, Charles, whose almanacks provide a unique record of Mary’s patrons, painting technique and family aﬀairs. Her portraits of politicians, clergy, aristocracy and intellectuals reflect the vibrant literary, scientific and political scene of the seventeenth-century. She has been seen as a feminist icon, not only as a professional artist but also as a poet and the author of a Discourse on Friendship (1667), which argued for the equality of husband and wife in marriage – a radical concept at that time. Penelope Hunting graduated with an honours degree in History from the University of London, followed by a PhD in Architectural History. She has written books on the history of London, the City livery companies and two historical biographies. Her History of the Royal Society of Medicine (2001) received an award from the Society of Authors. Her most recent book, Riot and Revolution, (2013) is a biography of the seventeenthcentury Lord Mayor of London, Sir Robert Geﬀery. Dr Hunting is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, Chairman of the London Topographical Society and a trustee of the Heatherley School of Fine Art, Chelsea.

Lowry’s Lamps R�� M�� Laurence Stephen Lowry RBA RA is mostly thought about in terms of his people and their industrial setting but there is a great deal more to be read from the detail of his paintings. Throughout his artistic career, Lowry used street furniture to brilliant eﬀect. He was a master of observation and composition. Lamp posts, telegraph poles, flag poles, fences (and sometimes just vertical posts with no apparent use) form an important part of Lowry’s busy industrial scenes. The evidence of Lowry’s careful thought about lamps and lamp posts is evident in his response to young artists asking for career advice: ‘no need to go to London to become a famous painter. You won’t find better lamp posts there.’ This book examines an important aspect of Lowry’s art for the first time. It is written by Richard Mayson, who was brought up in Lowry’s home-village of Mottram-in-Longdendale. Mayson has a life-long passion for street lamps and street furniture. He compares the treatment of street furniture in Lowry’s paintings to the reality of Salford and Manchester streets from 1916 to the 1970s, illustrating how Lowry’s work evolved. Previously unseen works in private collections will be reproduced in this book for the first time. Richard Mayson is a British author and expert on fortified wines and the wines of Iberia. He is the series editor for the Infinite Ideas Wine Library. He lectures for the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) and Leith’s School of Food and Wine in London. In 1999 he was made a Cavaleiro of the Confraria do Vinho do Porto in recognition of his services to the port wine trade. He is currently the regional chairman for Port and Madeira wines for the Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA). Richard Mayson also owns a vineyard and produces wine in the Alto Alentejo, Portugal.

Ali Cavanaugh

Modern Fresco Paintings A�� C�� Modern Fresco Paintings is the first collection of Ali Cavanaugh’s works and it follows her entire career, using watercolour on kaolin clay to create her modern frescoes. Beginning with her hyper-realistic portraits and ending with her latest, more free-flowing pictures, her use of light, colour and the human form captures the essence of her models and their feelings in a particular moment. Cavanaugh’s artistic sensibility was developed by two important events in her childhood. Her dependence on the visual world began when she lost much of her hearing through spinal meningitis when she was two and her creative spirit developed out of her being raised in a rural environment where she had to create her own ways of expressing herself and making her own fun. She developed her stunning modern fresco medium almost by accident as she was learning to apply the outer layer of plaster to her home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Since that time this volume illustrates her growth as an artist and her mastery of the technique. These are lovely works, painted masterfully. Both long-time followers of Cavanaugh’s work – from the earliest Sock Arms paintings to those who found her through more recent work like the Chroma series – and those who are discovering her and her art for the first time, will be delighted by this collection.

Jylian Gustlin D� D�� G�� Z�� G�� J�� B�� Jylian Gustlin’s work can be considered multi-dimensional and spatially multifaceted in colour and boundaries, overlaid in complex fearlessness and combined with multimedia applications. Inspiration comes in many ways: Gustlin trail runs in the coastal mountains surrounding her home. The colours in her work come from the pallet of nature she meets and is inspired by wildflowers, hillsides, green moss in the deep forest, tumbling waterfalls from recent rains, redwood trees reaching to the sky and the deep blues of their shadows. This book covers the body of work by Jylian Gustlin for the last 20 years. Jylian Gustlin is a native Californian and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. She has been shaped by the technology explosion of Silicon Valley and her art reflects her in-depth knowledge of technology. She studied mathematics and computer science at San Jose State University and received a BFA from the Academy of Art in San Francisco where technology was emerging as an art medium. Merging her understanding of computers and her love for fine art, she became a graphics programmer and art director for Apple Inc. Jylian has been a fulltime visual artist for over 20 years and is represented around the world in galleries and museums.

‘I know [Jylian] as exuberant, open, fun, funny, teasing, stubborn to the point of bullheadedness, and as a splendidly free spirit…and the viewer is the beneficiary of the whole package.’ – Joan Baez

Spellbound F�� R�� Spellbound is the first survey of this self-taught artist’s paintings. Over the past decade, Fatima Ronquillo has created a personal modern aesthetic by combining European old master techniques with a magical realism found in Early American Colonial and Latin American Art. Ronquillo presents an imagined world of personages in military or exotic costumes who confront viewers with an ambiguous gaze. These figures are frequently accompanied by mischievous cupids dressed as Mozartian pages or wild animals which are either spirit guides or inner demons. Often, they are shown with mementos or ‘recuerdos’, such as The Lover’s Eye jewellery to demonstrate one of the many stages of love, from the bliss of the requited to the despair of the rejected. Alongside the recurring theme of love, lush flora and mysterious fauna oﬀer a glimpse into a world of myth and theatre. Fatima Ronquillo is a painter who combines old master techniques with a playful modern sensibility to create a world where art history meets imagined characters from literature, theatre and opera. Born in San Fernando, Philippines in 1976, Fatima Ronquillo emigrated as a child to the United States in 1987 where her family settled in San Antonio, Texas. She began exhibiting her work from the age of fifteen and is now widely collected in the United States and internationally. Her work has appeared in numerous art publications including American Arts Quarterly, Southwest Art and American Art Collector as well as in the fashion magazines Vogue Gioiello, Marie Claire and A Magazine Curated By Alessandro Michele (for Gucci). She lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico. With an introduction by John O’Hern, Santa Fe Editor of American Art Collector.

KWAIDAN

Stories and Studies of Strange Things L�� H�� (��), H�� W�� (��) KWAIDAN: Stories and Studies of Strange Things is a new edition of classic short Japanese horror stories in their original form as written by Lafcadio Hearn over a century ago. Hearn was an Irishman who was born in Greece, grew up in Ireland and emigrated to the US where he became a writer. He later moved to Japan and married a Japanese woman, had children and became a professor. He travelled all around Japan with his wife and heard many strange traditional folklore stories. Kwaidan is a collection of those short stories that he wrote in English for Western appreciation. He died in Japan soon after the publication of Kwaidan. Those eerie, magical horror stories are now visually revitalised with accompanying photographs by award-winning photographer Hiroshi Watanabe, who has lovingly brought this edition into print. With an introduction by Paul Murray, author of A Fantastic Journey: The Life and Literature of Lafcadio Hearn (1993) which won the 1995 Koizumi Yakumo Literary Prize in Japan. Watanabe was born in Japan. He graduated from Department of Photography at Nihon University in 1975. He moved to Los Angeles and became involved in the production of television commercials for Japan, later establishing his own production company. His work has been published and exhibited around the world and he has received numerous awards. His work is in the permanent collections of many art museums such as Philadelphia Museum of Art, Houston Museum of Fine Arts, George Eastman House, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, J. Paul Getty Museum, San Jose Museum of Art, New Mexico Museum of Art, North Carolina Museum of Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art. In 2016, He received the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant. 18

During this time Sabin traveled extensively, meeting indigenous people still practicing traditional life-ways in India, Australia, Kenya, the American Pacific Northwest, and Uzbekistan.

No longer a tool to be handled and used to call the spirit of an animal, they now stood upright as that animal itself; subject made object. Southwest-based glass artist and bronze publisher Peter Wright became a frequent collaborator around this time. The two created a series of sculptures based on Egyptian canopic jars—which held the spirit of the carved animal inside it—which both highlighted their individual strengths and also provided a new take on Sabin’s spirit canoes.

The evolution from ritual implement to free-standing fine art sculpture manifested around this time. The horizontal talking sticks were turned vertically, elongat-

The Other Side of Silence The Far Side of Time The Sculpture of Hib Sabin H�� S��

Hib Sabin’s wood sculpture is focused mainly on animal imagery – raven, owl, bear, coyote, mountain lion and hawk – as it relates to human nature and the human condition. The roots of his sculpture are to be found in Shamanism, the mythologies of world cultures and more recently in modern poetry and philosophical movements such as Existentialism. The subject matter of his early carvings are of Shamanic ritual implements: healing wands, soul retrievers, talking sticks, dancing sticks and especially masks. Gradually, after extensive travels across the globe, he began to explore a number of the world’s rich mythologies and his subject matter moved beyond the realms of Shamanism, but always using the prism of animal imagery. Since 2008, his inspiration has come from many sources, including European Existentialist theory, and modern poets such as Leonard Cohen, Ted Hughes, T.S. Eliot, Robert Frost and Dylan Thomas. The structure of the book is broken down into three segments: the exploration of Hib’s roots in Shamanism; the expansion of his vision into a larger more global mythic universe; and an analysis of the themes that have driven his creative process in recent years. Hib Sabin is a highly sought-after sculptor and educator. He gained a BFA from University of Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia Academy of Fine arts, and then went on to receive a MFA from the University of Pittsburgh in Art History. He taught both fine art and art history at Dickinson college, Carlisle, Pa; and also at Franklin and Marshall college, Lancaster, Pa. He has travelled extensively, both independently and on scholarships. Hib has been creating art since 1957; in 1991 he turned to sculpture, predominantly using juniper wood. He is a resident of Santa Fe, New Mexico. 21

With an Introduction by the acclaimed art historian and critic Edward Lucie-Smith, this book introduces us to the world of Lorca’s disturbing yet poetic oil paintings. In his art there is always a disconcerting person at work, as if they could be part of our most secret our dreams and nightmares. We leave these magical, discomfiting landscapes, reflecting on the realism of the artist’s favourite characters, mostly animals and girls, as we act as a window to our unconscious. The book features many close-ups of the paintings, enabling us to appreciate Lorca’s techniques and the scale of the life size art. Guillermo Lorca brings us closer to the aesthetics of the abundant and opulent, the sensual and the tradition of painting. The works that compile this book make painting a window to observe the human psyche and the projection of nature. Guillermo Lorca, born in Santiago, Chile in 1984 is one of the most outstanding figurative painters of his generation. He is known for his large format works, featuring images of strong emotional content that in the words of the art historian and critic Edward Lucie-Smith is unique: ‘a combination of refined poetry and violence’. In 2014 he had a major exhibition at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Santiago and exhibits again in 2018 at Museo GAM in Santiago. He has exhibited in galleries in Mexico, United States, Norway and museums in Barcelona and Italy.

The Poor in Spirit Y�� Y�� Catholicism in China has had a history of over seven hundred years. Especially since the founding of New China, it has experienced many ups and downs, but its adherents have never disappeared. In some out-of-the-way rural areas, Catholicism represents important spiritual sustenance and penetrates all aspects of daily life. Yang Yankang spent ten years in the Shaanxi countryside creating his exquisite set of works documenting Chinese rural Catholics, The Poor in Spirit. With empathy and humour, he depicts churches and solemn ceremonies rising like apparitions in the remotest countryside; a rural family assembling a Christ figure; the pious faces of children singing; processions through the wheat fields of mourners in traditional Chinese funeral dress, carrying the coffin or shouldering a cross and so on. Documentary photography in China started in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with a focus on people marginalized by the mainstream (psychiatric patients, homosexuals, Catholics, free artists, etc.) and on vulnerable groups deliberately neglected by the powerful elites. These images by Yang Yankang demonstrate a courage in facing Chinese social reality – the images themselves have a visual intensity, and the photographer expresses compassion through them. Born in 1954, in Anshun, Guizhou Province, Yang Yankang now lives in Shenzhen and Chengdu. He is a freelance photographer, contracted with Agence VU in France. From the 1990s, Yang Yankang gave up other work to commit himself to photography and became an independent photographer. China’s foremost photographer of religious themes, he is best known for his documentary works on Tibetan Buddhism and rural Chinese Catholicism.

The Churchill Who Saved Blenheim The Life of Sunny, 9th Duke of Marlborough M�� W�� K�� W�� History has been unkind to Sunny Marlborough, largely because it was written by his first wife, the ‘dollar princess’ Consuelo Vanderbilt. It is true that he was not an easy man and their marriage was indeed an unhappy one. However the unhappiness of his marriage to Consuelo was not all his fault, in fact it would be fair to say that he was more sinned against than sinning. His second wife, Gladys Deacon, proved far too unstable to be the love and companion of his life. Sadly he needed to be loved but he never found a woman who loved him enough. Added to these stresses and strains, he lived through a time of great change and felt the responsibility of preserving his home, Blenheim Palace, and the way of life he knew, most keenly. He was a quiet, well educated, introverted man who took his role as head of a great estate most seriously. He cared for his tenants and his servants. To those he loved, he was loyal, generous, unfailingly helpful, and courteous but when necessary he was also that rare and valuable thing, a critical friend. He left Blenheim in a far better state than he found it. This was his greatest achievement. Michael Waterhouse is the grandson of the 9th Duke, and the author of Edwardian Requiem – A Life of Sir Edward Grey, The Cottage Book – Country Diary of Edwardian Statesman and The State of England’s Birds. Karen Wiseman was head of education at Blenheim Palace and is a leading reseacher and archivist on the Malborough family and Blenheim.

6 Public life Maiden speech 1895 Sunny Marlborough delivered his maiden speech in the House of Lords from the Conservative benches on 15 August 1895 by moving the Loyal Address in reply to the Queen’s Speech. One must assume that such an honour being bestowed on one so young should be attributed as much to his perceived future promise as to his famous dynastic background. Hansard reported: ‘he wore the uniform of the Oxfordshire Yeomanry and was received with cheers.’ He began his speech by reminding their Lordships how successfully ‘both wings of the great Unionist party’ had worked together in Opposition and that this harmonious working relationship boded well for their forthcoming joint period in government. He moved on to cover various aspects of foreign policy, notably a review of Britain’s commitments in the Far East, in addition to advocating a progressive policy for Ireland. He reminded the House that Britain’s relations with the other great powers were currently satisfactory enough not to threaten the peace of Europe but with great perception he pointed out that there was a lesson to be learned from the conclusion of the Sino-Japanese war, namely that naval power would be of prime importance to Britain’s future national security. With Tirpitz shortly to be appointed head of the German Navy and supplied with a brief from the Kaiser to build a battle fleet to match the British, this surely demonstrated commendable foresight. Sunny concluded with a very personal appeal for the government to rally behind an ailing agricultural sector,

‘speaking with conviction as a landowner and one who is deeply interested in the affairs of agriculture.’ Not unnaturally, with time, farming would become his special subject. The Leader of the Liberal Opposition, Lord Rosebery, with cherished memories of his close friend, Lord Randolph Churchill welling-up in his subconscious, rose to congratulate Sunny: The Mover spoke with a singular vivacity and with a grace which I am sure charmed your Lordships and gave you reason to hope that he will not unworthily bear his illustrious name or fall in any way short of the traditions of that brilliant uncle of his whose loss his Party and even more his friends outside his Party had so deeply to deplore in the earlier part of this year.

coronations when the Lord High Steward bears the St Edward’s Crown in the royal procession to the altar and during trials of peers in the House of Lords when the Lord High Steward presides. In the latter situation the Lord Chancellor was usually appointed to act as Lord High Steward. Even though Sunny’s duties were less than arduous, it is little wonder that he stood down as Paymaster General on 11 March. The coronation was scheduled for June but then postponed to August because of the future King’s serious illness from appendicitis. [image Sunny at coronation] Why was Sunny given the Garter at the age of thirty? Lord Salisbury certainly did not think the young duke deserved such an honour. Consuelo writes of a visit to Hatfield that summer: With a twinkle in his eye Lord Salisbury approached the reason for our visit. ‘I am, I believe’, he said, ‘to present the Order of the Garter to the Duke but I have not the slightest reason wherefore’. Sorely tempted to reply with the old quip, ‘We know there is no damned merit to it’, I nevertheless abstained.

And why indeed, was the Duke given the highest office of state, Lord High Steward, for the Coronation? Royal patronage We must assume that Sunny was held in high esteem by the future King Edward VII. On initial reflection this might seem rather strange following the court dramas of the Aylesford affair a generation earlier, brought on by the disreputable behaviour of Sunny’s father and Uncle Randolph. Edward VII was obviously a kindly and forgiving personality and may have seen much of himself in Sunny’s character. The patriotic Duke adhered strictly to protocol, had a weakness for pageantry and was thrilled by the pomp and ceremony of ancient tradition. Besides, he was the only ‘commoner’ to live in his own palace, where he had lavishly entertained the Prince of Wales over a long shooting weekend in the

They attended a fabulous ball at the Winter Palace where Consuelo, bedecked in diamonds, tiara and white satin, sat next to the Tsar, Nicholas II, and Sunny wore his Privy Councillor’s uniform with white knee-breeches and a blue coat embellished with gold lace, together with feathered hat under his arm. There were evenings at the ballet, excursions on open sleighs on the frozen Neva, suppers amongst the picture galleries of the Hermitage and grand dinners at the British Embassy to meet Russian society, including coveys of Grand Dukes and Duchesses. It was one enormous fairy tale that would tragically be terminated within a few years by the Russian Revolution. In the late autumn Sunny and Consuelo set off with sixty other aristocratic friends for India to attend the Delhi Durbar as guests of Lord Curzon, the Viceroy.

Monemvasia: People. Place. Presence. A�� E�� The Rock of Monemvasia has a powerful visual and emotive separation from the world. The ‘Castro’ or fortress is set on a rock in the southern Peloponnese of the Aegean Sea, joined by a causeway to the Greek mainland. Inhabitants are further isolated behind the fortified walls, with only one gateway into the Castro. From the 6th century AD it played a significant role in Byzantine and Mediterranean history. The unique environment determined how the community evolved through periods of social change. The photographic collection spans over a century, from 1890 until the present day, and alongside historic and contemporary quotes, provides a graphic description of Monemvasian society throughout their recent history. It is an illustration of how a community, living in unique, physical and historical surroundings, may flourish and recreate within itself a strong bond of solidarity, pride and continuity. This interaction determines the pattern of the book. It is a journey, on a physical and emotional level, through Monemvasia. The chapters move through the public spaces and activities into the private experiences of family life. Ann Eldridge has a doctorate in Classical Studies specialising in the reception of Ancient Greece in the nineteenth-century, with specific reference to the revival of the Olympic Games in Athens in 1896. She has owned a house in Monemvasia in the southern Peloponnese for many years and founded the Monemvasia Photographic Society in 2005.

Beyond East and West

Memoirs, Portraits and Essays B�� L�� Bernard Leach (1887-1979) was as renowned in Japan and the East as in Europe and America, both as an artist-craftsman and as a thinker. His interpretation of the traditions of the Orient in the making of pots - and in evolving a philosophy of life - was a lodestar for many potters in the West. Beyond East and West, first published in 1978, is more than an autobiography. Full of sharplyetched and amusing recollections, it contains much of Leach’s deeper thought and a great deal too about the practical application of his ideas. Its recurrent theme is the meeting of East and West at all levels - artistic, cultural, social, political.

I was in Chelsea Rare Books in the King’s Road, in the same block as Rococco Chocolates and Stephen King mens’ clothier, just browsing on my way to the Club for a swift half with Tim, and I asked Leo Bernard whether he ever got any first editions of Cider with Rosie. ‘There as rare as chickens’ teeth.’ he said assuredly. ‘You old fool,’ came the voice of his wife Phillipa from the basement, ‘one came in yesterday; it’s in the box by the front door.’ It had the original dust jacket and illustrations by John Ward. I paid him thirty quid for it and we continued on our way. Just coming down from the Club, nearly at the corner of Elm Park Road, was Laurie Lee with a very beautiful girl on his arm. Serendipitous, or what? I asked him whether he would mind inscribing my book. ‘Not now. not now,’ he said in a hoarse Gloucestershire whisper, sweeping us out of the way. It transpired that she was a journalist, and she was going to conduct an ‘interview’ with him in his flat in Elm Park Gardens. Later that year, I was on my way back from north London, where I witnessed the birth of my second daughter earlier that morning. I stopped by the CAC for a sharpener, and sitting at the bar was Lol, with his four-pack of Ruddles and a large whiskey chaser. I showed him a Polaroid of her, a few hours old, lying on a white lambskin blanket and dressed in a white gown. He said she looks just like a Chagall angel and asked what her name was. I said we were thinking about Poppy. ‘Such a beautiful name,’ he offered. He then did something he had never done before. He offered to buy a drink. A few Taken from: Village Christmas: And Other Notes On The English Year by Laurie Lee, published by Penguin Modern Classics

months later, when I knew that Lol was going to be in the Club, I turned up with the book. ‘I hope you paid a lot for this’, he drawled. ‘First editions fetch hundreds, you know.’ I asked him to dedicate the book to Poppy, and he remembered exactly who she was. He wrote “To Poppy, with abiding love. Laurie Lee”, and then wrote “See page . . .” ‘Let me just check. I think it’s page 53.Yes it is.’ I turned to page 53 and there it was.

A place still almost completely unchanged since its founding, by Whistler and friends a century ago, is the Chelsea Arts Club towards the north end of Old Church Street. A small door in a plain wall opens into something only Chelsea could offer, a charming little house of taste and antiquity — reading rooms, billiard rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms all hanging with excellent pictures of the founding time. And beyond that all, a walled garden past belief: trees, lawns, fountains and a resident tortoise. When I joined the Arts Club, in the late Forties, membership was almost entirely confined to artists, their models and mistresses, their varnishers, picture framers and agents. It was leisured and usually half-empty. Now the Arts Club has suddenly become The Place To Be, and almost any evening you’ll see a coloured crowd pouring through the small plain door like bees drawn into a hole; dark-suited workers, bright striped drones, royal jelly-fed beauty queens. The past and the present are preserved in the Club, from white-whiskered artists to sugar-fringed models.

in 1986, they suggested that they sell them a 99 year lease for £720,000, which they bought themselves.They then offered the lease to the Club on condition that, through subscription, donations and an auction, the members raised the bulk of the bulky purchase price and that their company Chelart had a 25 year contract to run the club. Mirjana, subject of Bill Jacklin’s masterful oil on paper painting getting out of a chair, organised the auction at Sotheby’s in October 1988, which raised £145,000 towards the lease. Just after he took over, the bailiffs Dudley came across a massive fiddle, perpetrated by ****, which amounted to over £30,000 being purloined, and another by a trusted girl in the office, loaning about nine thousand quid to feed the coke habit of the lady who ran the bar - no, not the lovely Brenda, the little cockney sparra - but a friendly Scottish lady called Vera.

Disgustus John and other Bohemians

helsea at the turn of the last century attracted all sorts of riff-raff, fragrant fops in fedoras, bearded Bohemians like Augustus John, known as ‘Disgustus John’ for his lascivious lifestyle. He used to walk around Chelsea patting little children on the head, just in case it might be one of his.There is a portrait bust by Fiore de Henriquez in the Billiards Room, the Italian hermaphrodite sculptor/sculptress which? - well, both, I suppose, which she gave to the Club, after we made her a member.There were painters, writers, architects, musicians, madmen, gays, cartoonists, ne’er-do-wells, socialites from the beau monde, popinjays, coxcombs, cocksmiths, dandiprats, or just prats, poets, toffs, tarts, lounge lizards, charlatans from the West End, the jeunesse dorée, actors, rebels, rascals, ruffians, and free spirits, They drank, took drugs, got into debt, fell in love, made music, painted pictures, cast sculpture, produced plays, wrote soaring prose, laughed, fought and died. A group of artists used to meet in various pubs in Chelsea, favouring the Six Bells, in the King’s Road for a drink or two and to discuss art. They talked about hiring a room, where they could sit down and eat, when Stirling Lee, a talented sculptor, offered his spacious studio for them to meet, and soon, other artists’ studios became available for food and wine provided by the more prosperous members.Twenty two artists, including Jimmy Christie, Lee and Jacombe-Hood, discussed the formation of, first, an exhibiting society, and then a club. At the second meeting in Lee’s studio on 25 October 1890,Whistler was present, and a set of rules were drawn up, the second being that the Club shall consist of professional Architects, Engravers, Painters and Sculptors. James Christie, a Scottish painter, offerd this fledgling club the ground floor and basement of his house at 181 King’s Road, next to the newly-built Town Hall. In 1891 the Club was founded with 55 members. By 1901, there were nearly twice that. Today they number nearly 4,000 and many, if not all, of the above-mentioned characters have crossed the threshold and entered the Club at some point during the past 125 years. Nowadays, membership is a broader church, although probably godless, and catholic with a small ‘c’, and includes film-makers, publishers, literary agents, jewellers, video artists, singers, even doctors, accountants and lawyers. The formal launch of the Club took place on 18 March 1891 with 11

Built in Chelsea

Three Centuries of Living Architecture and Townscape A�� P�� Among the London districts, Chelsea has always held a special charm for residents and visitors alike – spacious and gracious with the River Thames as its background, but with a unique history of artists, bohemians and good causes. The twelve chapters tell episodes from this history, based on buildings that mark the stages of change, connecting what can seen on the street with the hidden histories of architects, patrons and the colourful people who have made their lives in and around them. Featured here are the churches, military establishments, theatres, restaurants, housing and shops of old and new Chelsea. The spaces between buildings can be as important as the buildings themselves and Chelsea has had the benefit of landowners with long-term interests in improving the experience of residents and visitors, creating in recent years some exemplary regeneration projects that can act as models for un-obtrusive management of change. Alan Powers has a lifelong interest in architecture and made it his specialism in an Art History degree at Cambridge. While happy to look at work of any period, he has made the twentieth century his subject, enjoying the controversies about diﬀerent design styles and contributing to saving important buildings through his work with the Twentieth Century Society. Born a Londoner, he likes the analysing the ingredients that create the flavours of diﬀerent districts over time. He has taught in a number of architecture schools, including the Prince of Wales’s Institute of Architecture and currently at the independent London School of Architecture; he also leads group tours for ACE Cultural Tours. The current book has stemmed from an earlier book project, Cadogan and Chelsea: The Making of a Modern Estate, published by Unicorn in 2017. 36

TITLE

Goodhart-Rendel (1887–1959) pinned down its essence with the phrase ‘a Gothic game played with Classical counters’ – described as Gothic on account of the asymmetry and the display of materials and workmanship; classical on account of actual style of the openings and details. It was indeed a playful style, involving exaggerations of scale both large and small and surprise juxtapositions of elements.3 Osbert Lancaster, compiling his satirical guide to the styles of architecture, Pillar to Post in 1939, called it ‘Pont Street Dutch’, writing that in this part of Chelsea, ‘the cultured frequently pointed out, with considerable pride, that a wayfarer in that high-class residential district might easily imagine himself to be in Vermeer’s Delft.’4 Indeed, Cadogan Square represents the North European tendency within the broader Queen Anne movement rather than its English identity suggesting, in Mark Girouard’s words, ‘a hyper-concentrated canal-side in Antwerp’.5 Victorian ‘Queen Anne’ represented a distinctive turn in the cycle of taste, connected to new ideas about society, less intensely Protestant in its religious practices and more willing to acknowledge the public role of women. ‘Artistic’ was a key term – a lifestyle choice of a generation. Indeed, one of the earliest houses to anticipate the Queen Anne trend was designed for the artist George Pryce Boyce (1826–97) at 35 Glebe Place, just south of King’s Road, in 1869–71. The stucco-fronted Italianate classicism of the standard builder’s house in the 1860s and early 1870s was to be seen everywhere in the expanding metropolis. It was a new idea to personalise the outside of a town house by building it in a different style to its neighbours, and also relatively unusual, before the mid 1870s, for a client to commission an architect to design a London house, usually devising an individual plan that would help the owner to achieve a distinctive interior with attractive window bays and inglenooks to sit in, and a more interesting progress from the front door to the drawing room for visitors, rather than the conventional straight runs of stairs turning at half-landings. In the 1930s, at a time when such houses were growing out of fashion, Goodhart-Rendel emphasised their friendly, informal character compared to the type of house that they replaced, ‘in these easy-going gabled homes the front doors call for no red carpet across the pavement,

Although individually designed houses featured in the development, mostly in Cadogan Square itself, the greater number of houses resulted from speculative development, including nos 42–58 (even) Pont Street by Stevenson, and 63–79 (odd) Cadogan Square. The variety of design of these frontages adds to their charm. Being modelled in three dimensions with projecting bay windows and prominent gables, unlike the flatfronted houses that had been standard in London since the Great Fire of 1666, they look their best when viewed at oblique angles along the street, which is how they are seen by the passer-by. The remainder of the north side was the work of the builders Trollope, with the architect G. T. Robinson (1829–97), who provided a series of arcades to add unity to the ground floor while providing a continuous first floor balcony. Socially, as Mark Girouard defined it, ‘the area rapidly assumed a character suitable to its position, poised between aristocratic Belgravia and artistic Chelsea. The first occupants varied between upper class and upper middle class, between rich and very rich, and between gently artistic and mildly philistine.’9 The red cliffs of Cadogan Square continue along Pont Street and to north and south, with a picturesque variety of shapes found in Hans Place and Lennox Gardens, across the boundary into Smith’s Charity land, a boundary that the development company was successful in disguising. By 1890, the task had been completed and the Cadogan and Hans Place Estate Company was wound up, the capital being returned 17

Seven Stars

Ancient Astronomy and the English Public House H�� K�� Seven Stars traces the meaning and origins of the Seven Stars public house sign back 1500 years to the legal codes of the Anglo-Saxons and to the mythological astronomy of the ancient Mediterranean region. It is believed that the sign of the Seven Stars originated in the star cluster of the seven Pleiades, which was considered to be a bunch of grapes in the sky in a Dionysian and Bacchic world view and therefore suitable to be used as a tavern sign. The distribution of the older pubs with the name is closely related to the areas of the Saxon and Mercian law codes that were in operation after the Danish invasions of the 9th and 10th centuries. The conclusion is that the symbolism involved retained surviving ideas from the mythological astronomy of the ancient Mediterranean world that survived in AngloSaxon culture, but which were lost in the areas dominated by Scandinavian values where the social and political role of drinking establishments was distinctly diﬀerent. This is a full and authoritative look at an ancient symbol that forms a small part in the building blocks of British cultural traditions. Now a retired zoologist, Hugh Kolb’s interest in the history of English pub names and their symbolism, came in a roundabout way from his passion for foxes. Curious about foxes in European and Middle Eastern mythology and culture, Hugh noticed interesting patterns in the naming of British public houses and inns using the word ‘fox’. Similar patterns, which tied in with ancient British population change, emerged with the name ‘Seven Stars’. Hugh has been involved in printmaking, illustration and design for the past fifty years. His previous publications include Country Foxes and Foxes from the Gods. 39

Tom Wedgwood at Waterloo

The Life of Thomas Josiah Wedgwood who Fought at Waterloo A�� W�� Thomas ‘Tom’ Josiah Wedgwood (1797–1860) was the grandson of the English potter and entrepreneur Josiah Wedgwood, and the son of John Wedgwood and Louisa Jane (Jenny) Allen. Tom was a professional soldier, gazetted Ensign in the 3rd Foot Guards at the age of sixteen. Less than eighteen months later he was sent to fight at Waterloo and took part in the crucial defence of Hougoumont. He was promoted to Captain in 1820 and participated in a rather neglected ‘peace keeping’ operation in Portugal, from 1827 to 1828. Later in 1830 he was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and continued serving in the army until 1837. In later life, Tom married and settled in Tenby where he became a respected citizen; a memorial fountain in his honour still exists in that town. A number of Tom’s letters from the Waterloo campaign have survived as has a detailed journal that he kept during his time in Portugal; these documents, many previously unpublished, form the core of this book. Antony Wedgwood is a Wedgwood family member with strong connections to the Wedgwood Museum and a trustee of the National Churches Trust.

Anna Coatalen: Art for Happiness

A�� C�� H��, �� L�� G�� Anna Coatalen (nee Hook) was born in Bristol, studied at the Byam Shaw School of Art in London, and then worked as a book illustrator before WWII. It was as a WRNS in Plymouth that she met her Anglo-French husband Herve, an RNVR engineer officer, which resulted in her spending many years in France. Anna painted prolifically throughout her life, continuing right up to her death aged ninety-five, but never sought to publicise her work. Amongst friends who appreciated and admired her were the artists Mary Fedden and Alexander Goudie, whose son, Lachlan, has written a very perceptive Introduction to this book. Her daughter Annik has gathered together a selection of the most compelling of Anna’s huge output, ranging from early woodcuts and paintings to the three stained glass windows in Ile Tudy church in SW Brittany. They are presented here as a tribute to her life and to permit a wider audience to appreciate her skill. As Lachlan Goudie concludes in his Introduction, ‘The world seen through Anna’s eyes, is a happy place to be and her paintings are a fitting testament to the kind and talented person that she was in life.’ Annik J. Coatalen Heal, a former professional ballet dancer trained at Elmhurst and the Royal Ballet School, is still a passionate dance teacher. As the eldest of the artist’s five daughters, she has an intimate knowledge and appreciation of her mother’s work.

Chateau, Jardin, Cuisine

Secret Recipes from the Ardèche R�� P�� Chateau, Jardin, Cuisine highlights some of the exquisite dishes of this southern region of France, where Mediterranean traditions combine with the nourishing recipes from its northern plateau. Famous for goats cheese and chestnuts, the cuisine of the Ardèche evokes memories of stony fields, rugged castles, remote farms and old stone houses, a mountainous land with rivers full of eels, wild trout in rock pools, where autumn brings an abundance of game, wine and mushrooms. Yet nature has also dealt the Ardèche a difficult hand: the stony and dry soil as well as the steep terrain divided into countless small terraces make farming and cooking with the produce a true labour of love – as is this book. After a PhD in Political Theory at the London School of Economics Regina von Planta worked in Investment Management. Through a film series, directed by her husband, she discovered the Ardèche and, for a while, the family settled there on a small farm. She started to create a garden on the derelict land and discovered what skills are required to grow beautiful plants but also good produce on the relatively poor soil and small terraces. Her interest became a passion and she decided to write about the people and the delicious food they produce in this hidden part of the South of France.

Invasion!

D-Day & Operation Overlord in One Hundred Moments S�� A�� The invasion of Normandy was the most significant victory of the Allies in the Second World War. By 1944, over two million troops from over twelve countries were in Britain in preparation for the invasion. These forces consisted primarily of American, British and Canadian troops but also included Australian, Belgian, Czech, Dutch, French, Greek, New Zealand, Norwegian, Rhodesian and Polish naval, air or ground support. The operation was codenamed “Overlord” which saw the largest invasion fleet ever assembled, before or since, landing 156,000 Allied troops on five beach-heads on D-Day, 6 June 1944. These forces established a foothold on the shores of Northern France, and broke out into the French interior to begin a headlong advance. Invasion! is packed full of facts, statistics and detailed events spanning this most significant event in military history; biographies, fun facts, myth busters and illustrated throughout with infographics and contemporary photographs. Scott Addington is an established author on both world wars. He is known for writing in a lively way that informs and inspires people at many levels of readership.

Illustrating Armageddon

Fortunino Matania and the First World War J�� D��, I�� L�� G�� Fortunino Matania is the forgotten genius of illustration. He is perhaps best known in his role providing Great War illustrations such as ‘Goodbye Old Man’ for The Sphere. Art ran in Matania’s blood - his father Eduardo was a respected artist, and his cousin Ugo also contributed to The Sphere. Matania was blessed with a photographic memory, was able to work at great speed, producing illustrations that were unnervingly photographic in their realism. Matania’s pictures were superbly accurate and authentic. During the war, he frequently visited the Western Front, often putting himself in danger to gather material for his work. When not able to do this, he would interview eyewitnesses and take along toy soldiers when he spoke to recovering men in hospital to ensure battle positions were recorded faithfully. Back at his studio, he had an enormous collection of uniforms, weapons and other props to ensure every last detail of his finished picture was correct. This is the first time the entire First World War collection of his works has been published and marks not only a prolific career and exceptional body of work in the art world, it captures much that was written about, but could never have been photographed a century ago yet was etched in the minds of a generation. For over 30 years, Jim Davies has been fascinated by the First World War and the art of Matania. His field trips to the old battlefields and own collection of Matania’s art inspired him to write and share his love of the artist with a wider audience. A retired airline pilot, he lives in Shropshire and still visits the battlefields on the Western Front today.

A Bradford Pal

‘It was Simply Heart Breaking’ From Mill Town to the Battleﬁelds of France J�� B�� In 1914 the City of Bradford was the world’s leading manufacturer of fine woollen goods. On the outbreak of war, at the urging of the city’s wealthy industrialists, thousands of young men rushed to join the colours and within a matter of months two volunteer Pals Battalions were formed. Author John Broadhead, the son of a Bradford Pal, tells the story of the battalions and the part played by his father, George William Broadhead, a Town Hall clerk from Batley. The author’s research was inspired by his father’s diary of 1916 which he handed to the author shortly before his death in 1980 saying, ‘Here lad you might be interested in this’. Like many old soldiers he rarely spoke about the war but the diary and the author’s use of official records, newspaper reports and memoirs reveal the stark horror of what faced the nation’s youth. Few of the original Pals survived the war but George Broadhead’s luck held. In 1918 he married a French girl, then worked for eighteen years with the Imperial War Graves Commission in France before returning to his home town to resume his earlier career. This is a story of an ordinary soldier but a quite remarkable person. John Broadhead was born in 1945 and brought up in Batley. He attended Batley Grammar School and after joining the Ministry of Defence in 1963 took a First Class degree in Modern European History with the Open University. He served in Northern Ireland, Hong Kong, the Middle East and spent most of his later career as a senior civil servant in Whitehall. His keen interest in military history was influenced by his father’s service with the Bradford Pals. On retirement he has been researching the events recorded in his father’s diary and retracing those footsteps on the battlefields of France.

A Time To Fight

Living and Remembering WWII R�� A�� With an interest in history, London portrait photographer Robert D. Anderson illustrates a passing of seventy-five years by photographing living history actors alongside WWII veterans. From those who landed on the shores of Normandy, to the men, women and children who fought on the Home Front, Robert has managed to capture a time when the world was gripped by war. Featuring the brave men and women involved in the escape from the Dunkirk beaches; the defeat of Rommel in Africa; the Battle of Britain; the invasion into Italy; D-Day; Operation Market Garden; Battle of The Bulge and finally the crossing of the River Rhine into Germany. The stories of their individual war experiences come to life through their portraits and memories. For some it was the first occasion that they had opened up to remember their time to fight. With tears of joy and sadness, this book delves into the personal moments that have never been told before. Originally from Inverness, Scotland, Robert studied Television, Photography & Sound Production after graduating from The College of Building & Printing in Glasgow, and now lives in Kew, West London. He specialises in portraiture from model portfolios to commercial advertising campaigns. Robert has always been interested in history and in particular WWII and designed a way in which the two could merge for his book A Time To Fight – Living and Remembering WWII.

Other Ranks W�� V�� T��, �� G�� M�� Other Ranks is a true First World War classic. First published in 1931 Edmund Blunden, introducing the novel, observed that Mr Tilsley “misses nothing”. It is a told with no punches pulled, a factual yet crafted account of William Tilsley’s war experiences through the eyes of ordinary soldier, Dick Bradshaw in the 55th West Lancashire Division. This authentic memoir of life and death on the front line opens with a first engagement on the Somme in the Autumn of 1916. It follows the chores behind the line and unwelcome stints on the front line through to his own wounding during the Third battle of Ypres in 1917 and subsequent return to Blighty. As well as criticism of the conduct of the war, there is description of the desolation of the landscape and continual conditions of the trenches as experienced by the Poor Bloody Infantry (PBI); wet, cold, frost bite, trench foot, shelling and general life in trenches with continual risk of collapse. Honest and discreet whilst entirely forthcoming and incisive, Tilsley throughout strikes an exceptional balance in this previously ‘lost’ memoir. Gaye Magnall is married to the nephew of Ernest Magnall, one of the dedicatees in Other Ranks. She first became aware of this classic work in 2016 coming across a hand written letter dated December 1931 which was sent to her husband’s Uncle Ernest. This was from Bill Tilsley (WVT) author and whom is identified as ‘Bradshaw’.

Britannia’s Glory – A Maritime Story M�� B�� The origin of British Isles - the ‘North-East Atlantic archipelago’, our evolution, development and formation is told within this book in a most unique way - in narrative verse.

Our maritime expansion, driven by trade, the oceans as roads to riches, the inevitable story of war and conflict; British history is infused into the maritime dimension like salt in seawater. Simple, and crucially in a lively and accessible way, Britannia’s Glory - A Maritime Story presents our tale of uncertainty, suspense, adventure and romance as never been done before. Maggie Ballinger has a BA in European History and MA degree in International Relations. In 2014 she was invited to be the guest speaker at the last Greenwich Maritime Institute’s annual dinner further enhancing her passion and knowledge for Britain’s maritime history.

Imagine working at the morgue for twenty-four years. Every corpse has a story. F.I.One is a collection of such stories – not the entertaining fictional worlds of Holmes or Morse; each firsthand account of the real world of forensic medicine has at the core an actual event witnessed by the author. The mood, tone and emotion are included in each narrative, written in the style of O Henry and Ambrose Bierce. ‘After a couple of hundred suicides, the minute you walk through the door you can smell the bad ones. Something an old doctor once told me about diagnosing patients, “When you hear horses’ hoofs, don’t think Zebra’s”.’ Jack Sturiano served in the US Navy as a hospital corpsman with the 1st Marine Division in Vietnam.

This short book by historian and journalist Beckles Willson is in memory to the Canadians who fought during the Great War around Hooge, near Ypres at the Battle of Mont Sorrel in 1916. The Battle of Mount Sorrel lasted for almost two weeks and cost the Canadians over 8000 casualties. Having lost the first two phases of the battle, the Canadians achieved victory in the final operation. Careful planning and concentrated artillery bombardments had begun to tip the balance on the First World War battlefields in favour of attackers over entrenched defenders. 54

D-Day and Normandy: A Visual History A�� R�� Operation Overlord, the codename given to the Allied invasion of German-occupied Western Europe in 1944, was arguably the most challenging, complicated and risky militery operation in history. It began on 6 June with Operation Neptune, the largest seaborne invasion ever seen, when 150,000 troops crossed the Channel and attempted to land on the beaches at Normandy. This assault would lay the foundation for the Allied victory on the Western Front, and is now commonly known as D-Day. This highly illustrated book, published to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day in 2019, will reconstruct the historic landings and the resultant battle for Normandy using artefacts, documents, interviews, film, art and photographs from the IWM collections. Importantly, it will feature first-hand accounts of the action from the vast documents and sound collection, allowing the reader to follow a personal narrative throughout and experience what it was like to live through what was one of the most significant campaigns of the Second World War. Anthony Richards is Head of Documents and Sound at Imperial War Museums.

Allied victory in the Second World War owed much to air power. British and American air forces played a vital role in protecting territory and friendly forces from enemy attack, as well as supporting the military and maritime operations that ultimately brought about the collapse of the Nazi regime. Following the success of The Second World War in Colour, this book presents a further selection of original colour photographs from the extensive IWM collection, focusing on Allied aircraft and airmen from the Second World War. Alongside these rarely seen images, Ian Carter, Senior Curator at IWM, examines how crucial aviation was to wining the war, from protecting the skies and waters of Britain and the Mediterranean, to Bomber Command and the USAAF’s night-time strikes over Germany. Shot from the ground and from the air, these powerful images bring the Second World War to life. Ian Carter is Senior Curator at Imperial War Museums.

‘It is extraordinary how reluctant the British soldier is to show cunning. We try to play the game of war as if it had rules for fair play like cricket and football.’ ‘If you want to make your spell of duty pass quickly, concentrate on prowling properly.’ ‘By Jove, look! There is a suspicious-looking man creeping under those bushes. It will be heaven help that rough chap if he makes a break!’ The Art of Prowling is one of a series of training booklets written by Colonel G. A. Wade for the newly-recruited Home Guard. This reproduction by the Royal Armouries shows how trainees during the Second World War learned to sneak up on the enemy without being seen.

Thea Porter’s Scrapbook V�� P�� For nearly two decades, from 1966, Thea Porter created clothes made from sumptuous fabrics that drew inspiration from a view of the exotic Middle East. Combining richly patterned silks with antique fabrics, her clothes were a must for music and ﬁlm stars such as Pink Floyd, Elizabeth Taylor and Barbra Streisand. Fashion magazines all over the world featured her latest styles and Thea became a key member of the innovative group of British designers which included Zandra Rhodes and Jean Muir. During her lifetime she won huge acclaim, and her place in the history of British fashion was ensured when she won Designer of the Year in 1972. Thea Porter was included in several landmark exhibitions on twentieth-century fashion, such as the V&A’s Cutting Edge: Fifty Years of Fashion (1997), Orientalism: Visions of the East in Western Dress at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (1994) and Hippie Chic at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts (2013). Most recently, an exhibition at London’s Fashion and Textile Museum (2015), described Thea’s family history and upbringing in Syria, her years as a student in London after World War II, and her life in cosmopolitan city of Beirut during the 1950s and 60s. Thea Porter’s Scrapbook reveals Thea Porter’s talent as a keenly-observant and descriptive writer as she records in her memoir, her early life and the business she set up, starting with the muchvisited Greek Street shop in Soho and charting the dramatic surge of American interest in her clothes, and the opening of her shop in Paris as she pursued her ambition to create dresses ‘beyond trend and tat, that thirty years from today will still be beautiful’. Venetia Porter is Assistant Keeper (Curator) Islamic and Contemporary Middle East Department, British Museum. She has a degree in Arabic and Persian from the University of Oxford, an M. Phil in Islamic Art and a Ph.D from the University of Durham. Venetia Porter was the co-author with Laura McLaws Helms of Thea Porter Bohemian Chic (2015). UNICORN
