Welcome to Unicorn Publishing Group’s Spring 2020 catalogue We are particularly proud that The Spectator, the oldest and certainly one of the most influential magazines in the world, has chosen Unicorn to celebrate their 10,000th anniversary issue with the title 10,000 Not Out: The History of The Spectator 1828-2020. In a similar prestigious vein, the Royal Academy of Music have chosen us to publish Musical Architects: Creating Tomorrow’s Royal Academy of Music, which celebrates the reimagined extension to the building as well as preparing for their bicentenary. This catalogue’s front cover image is of the new Recital Hall. We are equally pleased to be publishing Kenneth Baker’s next book On Assassinations as well as Dan Cruikshank’s Built in Chelsea: Three Centuries of Living Architecture and Townscape. Outdoors in London we are presenting the photography book Wild Neighbours, and back indoors another photography book, Faith in the City of London. Alongside these we are publishing three lighter books: Hand Dryers and Seaside 100: A History of the British Seaside in 100 Objects, and Latin Rocks On, featuring popular music lyrics in Latin. Our Chinese connections continue with an important retrospective of the artist Hsiao Chin, Hsiao Chin and Punto: Mapping Post-War Avant-Garde and Centuried Keemun: Tea Stories of Cultural Chizhou. Also in Asia, we have Michael Naseby’s Sri Lanka: Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, the peer’s memoirs of his many visits to the island. Unicorn Sales & Distribution (US&D) is our publishers’ marketing company, selling books not just for the Unicorn imprints, but also our client publishers Imperial War Museum, Royal Armouries, Lee Miller Archives and most recently Royal Museums Greenwich. Like Unicorn, they all have exciting new books to launch next Spring. As ever, we hope you enjoy buying and reading the books as much as we have enjoyed publishing and marketing them.

10,000 Not Out

The History of The Spectator 1828–2020 D�� B�� There is no journal with a livelier and richer history than The Spectator. As well as being the world’s oldest current affairs magazine, none has been closer over the last two centuries to spheres of power and influence in Britain. First issued in 1828, during the dying days of the Georgian era, The Spectator came out ready to spar – with the Tories and their Prime Minister, the Duke of Wellington, with a corrupt political system, and with the lacklustre literary world of the day. Over the subsequent fifty-two Prime Ministers, The Spectator has not only watched the world change but waded into the fray: it has campaigned on consistently liberal lines, fighting for voters’ rights, free trade, the free press and the decriminalisation of homosexuality, while offering open-minded criticism of every modern taboo and orthodoxy. 10,000 Not Out celebrates the 10,000th issue and recounts the turbulent and tortuous tale of 192 years chock-full of crises and campaigns, of literary flair and barbed wit. Eight chapters chart in technicolour the evolution of the title – from radical weekly newspaper, to moralising Victorian guardian, to wartime watchdog, to satirical magazine, to High-Tory counsellor, to the irreverent but influential The Spectator of the twenty-first century. The book weaves together copious quotations from the magazine’s unparalleled archive, the contemporary press, private letters and staff anecdotes. David Butterfield is a Fellow of Queens’ College, Cambridge, and Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Classics. His academic research covers Latin literature, ancient philosophy and the history of scholarship. Previous books have studied the philosopher-poet Lucretius, the polymath Varro and the scholar-poet A.E. Housman. Outside the classical world, he has written regularly on any subject other than politics for The Spectator, where he is a contributing editor. 2

Musical Architects

Creating Tomorrow’s Royal Academy of Music A�� P�� The Royal Academy of Music is one of the most prestigious conservatoires in the world, training generations of eminent musicians for all parts of the profession. Its alumni include Henry Wood, John Barbirolli, Myra Hess, Felicity Lott, Simon Rattle, Harrison Birtwistle, Elton John, Annie Lennox and Jacob Collier. Royal Academy graduates populate all the great orchestras and opera houses of the world, including the Berlin Philharmonic and the Metropolitan Opera, New York. They are players, singers, composers, conductors, curators, animateurs and teachers. Approaching its bicentenary, the Royal Academy is Britain’s oldest conservatoire. An international organisation from its foundation, it has just completed a transformative programme of new building at the heart of its Marylebone Road site. Bright ancillary spaces, refurbished studios and two exceptional additions designed by Ian Ritchie Architects, the Susie Sainsbury Theatre and the Angela Burgess Recital Hall, have already won major national and international awards for their breathtaking designs and outstanding acoustics, ideal for talented young singers, instrumentalists and composers. Recent decades have seen the Royal Academy extend its interests to jazz, musical theatre and vital outreach, educational and celebrated collaborative projects to foster future generations of musicians and music lovers. This book reveals how virtuoso architecture and technology have brilliantly fused the Academy’s famous Edwardian building with the modern institution’s creative values and aspirations as it moves towards its third century. Anna Picard studied at the Royal Academy of Music and with Dr Thomas Lo Monaco in New York. She worked in the field of early music before moving into journalism.

On Assassinations K�� B�� In this revealing look at the history of assassinations, Kenneth Baker examines over a hundred political and religious murders or attempted murders, ranging from Julius Caesar to President Kennedy to Osama bin Laden. Assassins hope to change the world, but rarely succeed: Baker concludes that the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in June 1914 was the only one that changed the history of the world. Other assassinations, whether of monarchs, politicians, dissidents, clerics, journalists or others at best give only a glancing blow at history. The author concludes that, in Macbeth’s words, an assassination ‘is a poisoned chalice.’ Kenneth Baker also reveals that since 1945 there have been fewer individual assassins working alone; now assassinations are more likely to be carried out by political and religious terrorists, or by the security services of certain states to eliminate dissidents. Not only Russia and Israel, but the USA, the UK and others have resorted to targeted killings when they consider their security is under threat. On Assassinations shows how we have moved from the era of individual assassinations, through to terror groups’ murders and now onto state-sponsored targeted killings Kenneth Baker, Lord Baker of Dorking CH, is a British politician and a former Conservative MP having served in the Cabinets of Margaret Thatcher and John Major as Environment Secretary, Education Secretary and Home Secretary. He has previously written five poetry anthologies for Faber, five books on the history of cartoons including George III: A Life in Caricature and George IV: A Life in Caricature, his memoirs, The Turbulent Years, and most recently On the Burning of Books and On the Seven Deadly Sins published by Unicorn.

Cherish

David Cassidy – A Legacy of Love L�� P�� David Cassidy was one of the biggest superstars in the 1970s. Selling millions of records and playing to record sell-out crowds around the world, he was more than just an idol for teenagers; he was for many their saviour. The first star to be mass-merchandised, he became a magnificent obsession in the 1970s for millions whose loyalty and devotion to him remains to this day. He represents a time in their lives when he and his music made them completely happy: this offers them the chance to say: ‘Thank you David for the memories.’ This book presents a collection of heartfelt stories contributed by his colleagues, friends and fans in a deeply moving and inspiring compilation of memories. In a celebration of his life, they explain in their own words how David impacted on them, his influence and friendship and the lasting legacy of love he left. Contributing fans recall concert experiences, chance meetings, share precious keepsakes and explain how he made their world a brighter place. They share examples of his unfailing generosity, unexpected acts of kindness and how he made them feel important. Friends write with love and respect about David’s immense talent as a musician and actor and why he is considered one of the greatest singers of all time. Louise Poynton was brought up in Sussex.

MacDonald Gill Charting a Life C�� W�� MacDonald 'Max' Gill (1884-1947) was an architect, letterer, mural painter and graphic artist of the first half of the 20th century, best known for his pioneering pictorial poster maps including the whimsical Wonderground Map of London Town. His beautiful painted panel maps decorate the Palace of Westminster and Lindisfarne Castle and the alphabet he designed in 1918 is still used on the British military headstone. He enjoyed close links with many leading figures in the arts & crafts world: the architects Sir Charles Nicholson, Sir Edwin Lutyens and Halsey Ricardo, the calligrapher Edward Johnston, Frank Pick of the London Underground, and his brother – the sculptor and typographer Eric Gill. Overshadowed in recent times by his controversial brother, MacDonald Gill was nevertheless a significant artist of his time. With much of his four-decade output touching on the remarkable events and developments of his time – including two world wars, the decline of Empire, the advent of flight, and innovations in communications technology, his work also takes on a unique historical importance. Drawing chiefly from family archives, this biography of MacDonald Gill is the first publication to tell the story of this complex and talented man. Caroline Walker is the great-niece of MacDonald Gill, and has been researching his life and work since 2006. She now spends much of her time researching, writing articles, giving lectures and running the artist's website. She has been co-curator of several exhibitions dedicated to her greatuncle including Out of the Shadows: MacDonald Gill at the University of Brighton in 2011 and Max Gill: Wonderground Man at the Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft in 2019. Caroline is an accredited lecturer for The Arts Society. 10

Wild Neighbours

Portraits of London’s Magniﬁcent Creatures S�� C�� ‘London is not just a city of ten million people, it is also home to and an extraordinary diversity of beautiful wildlife. With world population exploding and more and more countryside being lost to urban sprawl or commercial agriculture, the sharing of urban space with nature is more important than ever. Since London is my city, I set out to observe and create photographic portraits of all the creatures I could find. Whilst this has taken many hundreds of hours, it has been the happiest time imaginable as I immersed myself in the sweetness and delight of my wild neighbours.’ Sarah Cheesbrough grew up in London and Birmingham, she swam for England, read International Studies at university, modelled in London, Paris and Tokyo, and worked as an advertising executive at J. Walter Thompson before striking out on her own path as a selftaught freelance photographer. In recent years Sarah has focused on projects that are close to her heart. Her 2012 book, In Buddha’s Garden, featured her evocative photographs of the Buddhist monks of Luang Prabang. Following an exhibition in 2014 curated by Founder and ex-Director of Paris Photo, Rik Gadella, In Buddha’s Garden was selected by the Lao National Commission to UNESCO as the gift to fellow delegates at the 34th International UNESCO Conference in Paris. In 2018, Sarah had two London exhibitions of urban bee photographs, including one for The Royal Parks. Wild Neighbours is the result of several years watching wildlife in London in a state of wonder. It has been a true homecoming for Sarah, to her city, to her heart and to the Nature that sustains her. 13

Hand Dryers S�� R�� Simply the world’s most complete collection of hand dryers. Who knew that something so normal, so instantly forgetful, so remarkably unremarkable could be such a thing of beauty and intrigue? This book, based on Samuel’s Instagram site @handdryers, documents a stalwart of industrial design, an item so everyday and prosaic, yet each one with so much vitality. The evocative photographs, taken around the world from Ukraine to Los Angeles, showcase the variety of design, and their relationship to the environment – some ooze nightclub sex appeal and dazzle; some a clinical sleekness; others a work-horse charm. The stories they could tell. Samuel Ryde is a British documentary photographer living in London, and travelling the world. Having studied photography until 2000, it has taken until now to show his first complete body of work, Hand Dryers. Samuel has an obsession to document the conventional parts of life we don't notice; his Instagram project @twelvethirtyfourpm is testament to this, an eight-year body of work in which Samuel took one photo everyday at 12.34pm.

Seaside 100

A History of the British Seaside in 100 Objects K�� F�� Sandcastles, donkeys, piers and sticks of rock. Beach huts, paddle steamers, promenade shelters and ice cream cones. Our modern seaside is the sum of its parts and all those parts have their history. This book explores the best-loved features of our favourite holiday destinations, each object and building adding its own layer to the story of our shared seaside heritage. Using a mixture of historic images and modern photographs the book takes a roughly chronological journey through the things that have made our seaside distinctive. The places where we have chosen to take our holidays for the past three hundred years have been transformed from mere stretches of coastline but they are not like inland towns. Inside these pages can be found a celebration of all that makes our seaside special. Kathryn Ferry grew up near the coast in North Devon, but usually only went to the beach out of season in her wellies. In 1998 she fell in love with beach huts during a visit to Herne Bay in Kent. Inspired by this surprising new passion, she began researching their story and, in the summer of 2002, she went on a two-month journey around the English coast to record the state of the nation's huts. She has been researching their history every since and is now the national beach hut expert. Having finished her PhD studying architectural history at the University of Cambridge, she decided to specialise in the seaside. She is the author of eight books, including titles on the British seaside holiday, bungalows, 1950s kitchens and, most recently, the oﬃcial history of Butlin’s.

Built in Chelsea

Three Centuries of Living Architecture and Townscape D�� C�� Among the London districts, Chelsea has always held a special charm for residents and visitors alike – spacious and gracious with the River Thames as background, but with a unique history of artists, bohemians and good causes. Nine chapters tell episodes from this history, ranging from the story of Chelsea Old Church through to 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 unobtrusive management of change. Dan Cruickshank is a writer, art historian, architectural consultant and broadcaster who has made numerous history and culture programmes and series for the BBC including Around the World in Eighty Treasures; Adventures in Architecture; The Country House Revealed: The Intimate Histories of Britain’s Private Palaces; and Dan Cruickshank: At Home with the British. He is the author of many books including Britain’s Best Buildings; A History of the Royal Hospital Chelsea; The Secret History of Georgian London; Spitalfields: A History of a Nation in a Handful of Streets. Editor of the twentieth edition of Sir Banister Fletcher’s History of Architecture, Cruickshank is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects, was an editor on the Architects’ Journal and The Architectural Review, a visiting Professor of Architecture at the University of Sheﬃeld and has served on the Executive Committee of the Georgian Group and on the Architecture Panel of the National Trust. 18

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

Hsiao Chin and Punto Mapping Post-War Avant-Garde J�� G�� Hsiao Chin spent his formative years in Europe experiencing the Western Modern Art movement. As a leading post-war Asian artist, he has contributed immensely to the development of avant-garde art and established himself in the abstract movement in Asia. As a co-founder of Punto Movement in Milan during 1961-1966, Hsiao is the first and only post-war Chinese artist attempting to convey Eastern philosophical ideas and the concepts of mindfulness and self-contemplation in the Western pictorial language of abstraction. Hsiao’s works are not only artistic representations of Asian philosophy but, in a broader context, are an intellectualised expression of Asian ideas in their essential forms. The understanding of the entire post-war avant-garde art scene would not be complete without mentioning Hsiao Chin and the Punto Movement, along with American Abstract Expressionism, French Lyrical Abstraction, and Japanese Gutai. This book records thirteen Punto exhibitions, which demonstrates Hsiao’s contribution to the international cultural realm throughout his artistic career. Included here are in-depth articles on Hsiao‘s historical significance in the twentieth century. The book also introduces his iconic oeuvres over the last six decades; work that reconciles Eastern and Western art prospects. Dr Joshua Gong is a leading expert on contemporary Chinese art and chinoiserie. He was a teacher in the art history department, University of Sussex. His monologue Iconography and Schemata: A Communicating History in Painting between China and the West, 1514-1885 is a landmark in the field. His article ‘Lv Peng and his Chinese Art History in Operation, since 1986’ was published by Journal of Art Historiography in the UK. Images © Hsiao Chin Art Foundation.

Faith in the City of London N�� G�� E�� L��-S�� The mention of ‘Faith in The City of London’ conjures up images of ceremonial events in St. Paul's Cathedral, but there are over 40 other Anglican churches, as well as Jewish, Dutch, Catholic and Welsh places of worship squeezed in between The Square Mile's towers of commerce. Intrigued by this incongruity, highly acclaimed London photographer Niki Gorick has gained unique access to capture the day-to-day workings of these ancient buildings and discovered a vibrant, diverse spiritual life stretching out into many faiths. This is a book about London and Londoners from a completely new angle, revealing a rich mix of characters, traditions and human interest stories. From weddings, communions, evangelical bible studies and Livery company carol services, to Knights Templar investitures, huge wet fish displays, Afghan music and vicars wielding knives, the photographs show an extraordinary range of spiritual goings-on and charismatic personalities. For the first time, it's possible to get a real insight into a side of London's Square Mile not dominated by money-making, where City workers are trying to connect to life's deeper meanings and where religious traditions and questions of faith are still very much alive. As a British fine art photographer specialising in images of London and Londoners for over 20 years, Niki Gorick has established a reputation for capturing the true character of the city. Niki’s enthusiasm for creating images led to a career spanning theatre photography, journalism, television camerawork and scriptwriting in Canada, Hong Kong and Scotland, as well as London, where she now lives and works. Her photographs have been exhibited throughout London, including at the Barbican and the National Maritime Museum, and are in both private and corporate collections. 22

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.

Louis Coatalen

Engineering Impresario of Humber, Sunbeam, Talbot and Darracq O�� H�� Louis Coatalen emerges from this biography as a man full of Gallic charm and wit, determined to obtain success for his products by whatever means necessary. His perseverance and a certain lack of scruples, his ability to recognise a good idea and recruit talented individuals, combined with his undoubted leadership skills made him a major figure in motoring history. Coatalen’s successes and failures are traced from his birth in Brittany, his training as an engineer in France, through to his rise to fame in the British motor industry, bringing success to both Humber and Sunbeam before WWI. His aero-engines were used extensively by the RNAS. His personal motor racing story is told as well as that of his team management of cars and drivers that included the first British car to win a Grand Prix and others that broke the World Land Speed Records on five occasions. After returning to France he built up the Lockheed Hydraulic Brake Company and devoted much time and money to developing a powerful, but ultimately unsuccessful, diesel aero-engine. His somewhat complicated private life involving four wives, drug addiction and some injudicious investments are also put on record for the first time. Alongside a career in the retail and furnishing trade, Dr Oliver Heal’s other abiding interest was always vintage motor cars and in particular Sunbeams, with which he grew up. He maintains the Coatalen family’s definitive archive on Sunbeam Racing Cars, but this biography of Louis Coatalen has been given valuable extra depth and colour through access to previously unexplored parts of the family archives. Oliver Heal continues to enjoy motoring in vintage Sunbeams at home and abroad. He is married to Annik, one of Louis Coatalen’s granddaughters, and has three step-daughters and a son. 26

Four Seasons at the Fish Deli N�� M�� L�� On the edge of Dartmoor and a stone’s throw from the fishing ports of Devon and the rich seas of Cornwall, the Fish Deli celebrates the wonderful array of fresh fish and shellfish available in local waters. The shop was established in 2004 by Nick and Michele Legg who, in this cookbook, share the recipes from their award-winning deli. With beautiful illustrations, the cookbook takes the reader on a journey through the seasons, explaining when all the different species of fish and shellfish are at their prime, and how best to enjoy them. ‘Nick and Michele and their wonderful illustrator Alice Cleary have produced this beautiful book. It’s a fitting treasure for a treasure of a shop and the lovely people who run it.’ – Nicholas Evans, bestselling writer and author of The Horse Whisperer.

Sri Lanka

Paradise Lost; Paradise Regained M�� N�� Marco Polo in 1298 described ‘Seyllan’ as the most beautiful island of it size in the world. The Greeks and Romans praised ‘Taprobane’ and 18th-century travellers praised ‘Serendip’ from which name comes the word serendipity – the luck of the unexpected. So it was for Lord Naseby, then plain Michael Morris working in challenging Calcutta, to be told one Monday morning on 10 May 1963 that he must go urgently to Colombo, Ceylon to handle a crisis. This book is a celebration of Lord Naseby’s subsequent unique involvement with Sri Lanka, its people and its politics over the last fifty years. During that time he has visited the island at least twenty times. He has been an oﬃcial observer at a number of Presidential and General Elections, witnessed the opening of the Victoria Dam as an oﬃcial guest, supported the Sri Lanka Government and people through a near-thirty year civil war and was instrumental in the UK’s aid response to the devastating Tsunami of 2004. This book is a powerful memoir of one man’s very special relationship with a beautiful island and its people, his recollections from fifty years of a unique friendship between a British politician and the people of Sri Lanka. Michael Naseby, The Rt. Hon the Lord Naseby of Sandy, PC was the Conservative MP for Northampton South from 1973-1997, since when as a life peer he has been an active member of the House of Lords. Once in Westminster he started the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Sri Lanka and has been an active supporter of it ever since.

Time Honoured Keemun Tales of Tea about Chizhou

E�� E�� B�� C�� A�� H�� This is a book for anyone who loves Chinese black tea. Keemun is the first Chinese black tea to go abroad. In The Lady of the Camellias (1848), there is a mention of the habit of drinking Keemun in the society at that time.

London

The Metamorphosis A�� K�� As London evolves into a Babylonian-style city of lofty towers, the artist Anna Keen has been inspired to paint this London Metamorphosis. While each new edifice heads to the heavens, the exposed entrails of these vast construction sites strangely resemble ruins. Her large canvases are enriched with details stemming from patient observation and on-the-spot sketches, and from voyages around the city made by helicopter, boat, road and on foot. Like the eighteenth-century artist J.M Gandy, who simultaneously painted London in ruins and in construction, Anna Keen takes us just beneath the surface of the metropolis, to where the emotional landscape lurks and to where the soul of London is heading. London-based art historian Edward Lucie-Smith has followed Anna Keen's painting since 1995 in Rome. Anna Keen is a British artist, born on the isle of Wight in 1968 and brought up on the remote Scottish island of Arran. She studied six years at the art school in Paris L'Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux Arts, where she obtained her diploma with distinctions. She has lived and worked as an artist in cities such as Rome, Venice, London and Amsterdam, where she has had over ten solo shows, participated in seventy collective shows, won several prizes and is represented in important private collections. Anna Keen has now returned to the UK and is currently painting the Babylonian-type London skyline, which mutates constantly. Edward Lucie-Smith is generally regarded as the most prolific and the most widely published writers on art. A number of his art books, among them Movements in Art since 1945, Visual Arts of the 20th Century, A Dictionary of Art Terms and Art Today are used as standard texts throughout the world. 31

Memories of a London Fine Art Dealer A�� W�� Memories of a London Fine Art Dealer is the distillation of a lifetime’s experience and expertise in the art world. Neither an autobiography nor a traditional memoir, the book consists of reflections, anecdotes, telling conversations, encounters, touches of humour and a choice selection of the triumphs and disasters, heroes and villains encountered by an accidental art dealer. Alex Wengraf was born in Vienna in 1938 and came to England before he was a year old. After school (Bryanston) he studied Dental Surgery at Guys Hospital, and earned a Fellowship at the Royal College of Surgeons of England. He studied on at the Postgraduate Medical Federation until his parents died in a car accident in 1965. He then gave it all up to follow his family profession and became one of London’s most famous art dealers. At present he is living in Switzerland.

Born in the Cronx DJ D�� O�� ‘I have a love for Croydon, it really is the Cronx! It’s exiting! Gnarley. I was in a crew called TuffStuff, based there, so I hung out there a lot.’ DJ Dek One continues, ‘I met Kevin from the Rise Gallery one day at an exhibition, and he said he was interested to meet old writers from the Croydon graffiti scene, but no one would talk to him as he was a bit posh.’ So I said, ‘they’ll talk to me.’ The next thing you know, I met the ‘All City’ shop crew, who were amazing and very passionate, and after tip offs we were climbing into warehouses and networking with old school writers (graffiti artists) and contacts with photos.’ Three years later, the culmination of their epic journey is Born in the Cronx, a unique archive of the Croydon graffiti scene, where a lot of the extraordinary artworks, and even some of the buildings, are now gone forever. DJ Dek One is a DJ born in Birmingham, UK, who plays soul, funk, drum breaks and ‘90s hip hop. He started DJing in 1993 and was part of the now legendary SWEAT funk nights which ran from 1993 to 1998 in Birmingham in the acid jazz days. He is a member of the now worldwide UK chapter of the Bronx based boy crew, The Bronx Boys. He is also a member of the Breakmission team, based in Birmingham, which teaches children the four elements of hip hop, as a way of distracting them from getting into trouble, an event which instead of charging money for entrance, asks the b boy community to bring a can of food or item of clothing which later gets distributed to Birmingham’s homeless. RISE Gallery specialises in contemporary, urban contemporary and post war pop art. They work closely with emerging and established international artists who display exceptional talent, technical skill and intrinsic creativity. They believe in the life-enhancing value of art and strive to offer the best experience for both their artists and clients.

Cadogan

The Lives, Loves and Legacy of a Chelsea Family T�� P�� Celtic chieftains emerging from the mists of ancient Wales, the ‘battle-keen’ Cadogans play their part at Blenheim alongside Marlborough, on board Pellew’s Indefatigable, with Wellington at Mondego Bay and Vittoria; at Balaklava and Sevastapol; at Ypres, Gallipoli and El Alamein. But opening the family archives – private letters, diaries and albums – we also find multilingual spies, evangelical clergymen, watercolour artists and society ladies who defy convention for love; illegitimacy, duels and gambling. There are diplomats, courtiers and confidantes. They share their stories with institutions from Chelsea Physic Garden and the British Museum to the British Olympic Association and Chelsea Football Club; from the Gaiety Theatre and the Jockey Club to the United Nations and the BBC. Woven throughout is the parallel history of Chelsea: a riverside farmland estate transformed into a visionary Georgian new town, and again into the recognisable red-brick of Pont Street Dutch, surviving riots and near-bankruptcy to become a thriving London community. Told with affection and humour, interweaving world events and private dramas over a thousand years, this book brings to life the story of one family that is also to the story of the British Isles. Tamsin Perrett (b. 1976, UK) is a writer and editor with a particular interest in cultural history. She studied at the University of Exeter and Winchester School of Art; after learning her craft at Thames & Hudson and Phaidon Press, Tamsin gained additional experience at the National Portrait Gallery and Frieze Art Fairs, and with boutique publisher Violette Editions. Since 2009 Tamsin has worked independently, as a specialist in pairing words and pictures for such internationally renowned public institutions as the Victoria and Albert Museum and Hayward Gallery, and select private and commercial clients. This is her second book about the Cadogan family and estate, following Cadogan: The Heart of Chelsea (2016). 34

The Will to Succeed

Lady Anne Cliﬀord's Battle for her Rights C�� R�� When the 15-year-old Lady Anne Clifford’s father died in 1605, she was his sole surviving child and expecting to inherit the Cliffords’ great northern estates. But the Earl of Cumberland leaves a will which ignores an ancient law and bequeaths the lands to his brother, in the belief that a prophecy by his great-grandfather will eventually come true and return the estates to Anne. She and her mother vow to contest the will. Anne spends the next three decades battling for what she believes is rightfully hers. She risks everything by opposing her beloved husband, her family and friends, the nobility, the law courts, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the King. She steadfastly (and treasonably) refuses to accept the King’s decision, whatever the consequences, but is defeated and left with the prophecy as her only hope. Widowed at thirty-four, she survives an anxious period alone with her two young daughters before surprising everyone with an ill-judged second marriage which gives her access to the highest in the land. But the Civil War destroys that power and confines the 52-year-old Anne to a grand palace in London for six years. Still convinced of her rights, will she ever attain “ye landes of mine inheritance”? Christine Raafat grew up in the Eden Valley, in what was then Westmorland. An early fascination with Ancient Egypt led to an ambition to be an archaeologist; instead she became a Clinical Psychologist and married an Egyptian Psychiatrist. Twins were born two years later. She lived in East Sussex for over 20 years, working with children and families and published Parenting Skills in 1995. Widowed and then retired, she took up painting and returned to Cumbria, but was later seduced by the fascination of words and published several magazine articles of local interest. An Owl of the Desert is her first novel, taking us back from the court of James I to the Eden Valley. 35

The Frontline Walk

Following in the Footsteps of those who Fought T�� W��, S�� R�� B�� (R��'�) R�� B�� This book tells the story of the Frontline Walk, a sponsored walk across the former battlefields of the Western Front supporting the work of ABF The Soldier's Charity. The service charity was estalised in 1944, working with army veterans of every conflict and to support future generations and their dependants. This book uncovers the stories behind those who participated in the walks since 2014, why they took part and what it meant to them and how they discovered more about their forebears who very often served in the First World War on the terrain being discovered during these events. It also tells the stories behind some of those who have been affected by conflict and the work that the charity has done to help rebuild their lives. Illustrated throughout and with accompanying maps, this book can be used to uncover the routes taken and explore the stories behind those and the actions of the time with proceeds going towards the ongoing work of the charity.

Map of the Moon H�� P�� W��, M�� B�� This rarely-seen map of the Moon originates from a 300-inch hand-drawn map produced by the engineer and amateur astronomer Hugh Percival Wilkins (1896–1960). Combining artistry with scientific precision, Wilkins’s detailed map reveals the rugged terrain of our celestial neighbour. First published in 1946 as a 100-inch reproduction, Wilkins continued to revise and expand his observations and produced this third edition in 1951. Comprised of 25 sheets, it was subsequently used by amateur and professional astronomers, and was even purchased by NASA. Acquired by the Museum in 2006, Wilkins’s Map of the Moon is reproduced faithfully in this volume over 90 pages, making this beautiful record of astronomical history available for all. Hugh Percy Wilkins was a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and Director of the Lunar Section of the British Astronomical Association. Dr Megan Barford is Curator of Cartography at Royal Museums Greenwich.

Cookery for Seamen A�� Q��, N.E. M��, S�� H�� Quinlan and Mann were at the forefront of cookery training for seamen, where three types of certificates were issued, depending on the size of vessel – sculling vessels, cargo steamers or passenger steamers. This facsimile (originally published in 1894) contains a brief introduction to the authors and the diﬃculties faced by cooks at sea with limited or rationed ingredients and restricted equipment. It contains a range of recipes, from gruel and beef tea, to devilled bones and fruit jelly, as well as advice on how to look after livestock on a ship (and how to kill it). Alexander Quinlan was a teacher at the Liverpool City Council Seamen’s Cookery Classes. N.E. Mann was head teacher of the Liverpool Training School of Cookery.

On the Bow of the Ship

A Brief Guide to Ships’ Figureheads S�� P�� J�� M�� Figureheads developed from an ancient tradition of decorating vessels with painted eyes, carved figures and animal heads. Vikings in northern Europe adorned the bows of their ships with dragon heads, which were thought to help ships see their way through the sea. They are considered the only tangible evidence of the ‘Great Age of Sail’. But what other purposes did sailors believe figureheads served? What stories do these beautiful objects tell? And what do the different characters symbolise? This illustrated guide contains over 50 examples from the National Maritime Museum, home to the world’s largest collection of figureheads. It looks at themes surrounding these unique carvings from mythology and gender to politics and literature. Sue Prichard is Senior Curator of Arts at Royal Museums Greenwich.

This iconic artwork was acquired for the nation following a joint appeal with the Art Fund, and is now on permanent display in the Queen’s House, in Greenwich, the birthplace of Elizabeth I. The Portrait is a complex, multi-layered representation of the iconography of Elizabeth I, as the ‘Empresse of the world’ and the ‘Virgin Queen’, but is also an outstanding historical document, summarising the hopes and aspirations of the state, as well as Elizabeth as its head, at a watershed moment in its history.

Wartime London in Paintings S�� B�� London during the Second World War was at its most perilous moment since the Great Fire of 1666. Districts were transformed at night by falling bombs, fires and searchlights. During the day, when the results of the previous night’s bombing were laid bare, ordinary people dealt with the aftermath as best they could. The War Artists Advisory Committee (WAAC) was set up within the Ministry of Information to compile an artistic record of Britain during the war, and over half of the paintings commissioned, some 3,000 works, ended up in the IWM collection. This highly illustrated book showcases around 80 paintings from this unmatched collection, portraying the ordinary and the extraordinary of London at the time. Featured are works by some of the most famous war artists of the conflict including Graham Sutherland, Henry Moore and Edward Ardizzone, as well as an array of lesser known talents of the day, whose work is in some cases being published for the first time. Suzanne Bardgett is Head of Research and Academic Partnerships at Imperial War Museums.

Wartime Classics Series Covering diverse fronts and topics – preparations for D-Day, the war in Malaya, London during the Blitz and SOE operations in occupied Europe – these titles are currently out of print, but much deserving of a wider audience. Each author has a fascinating back story. Beautifully packaged with a strong series identity and contextual introduction by IWM historian, these are sure to become collector’s items. IWM’s Library was an integral part of the museum from the very start, collecting reference materials to make sense of and place our exhibits in context, and to allow staff and public to conduct detailed research. Having searched our Library for the best – and most forgotten – wartime novels, we are now breathing new life into these wonderful classics. These are stories of bravery, love, humour and pathos – written by those who were actually there. ‘It’s wonderful to see these four books given a new lease of life because all of them are classic novels from the Second World War written by those who were there, experienced the fear, anguish, pain and excitement first-hand and whose writings really do shine an incredibly vivid light onto what it was like to live and fight through that terrible conflict.’ – James Holland, historian, author and tv presenter.

On 10 May 1940, Britain’s new prime minister strode purposefully down to the basement of an anonymous government building and entered a top secret command centre. ‘This’, growled Winston Churchill, ‘is the room from which I will run the war’. This magnificent new volume gives you exclusive access to those War Rooms, bringing you closer than ever before to where Churchill not only ran the war – but won it. Sit at Churchill’s desk, open up long-abandoned drawers and sift through seventy-year-old papers. See the anxious scratches on the arms of Sir Winston’s chair and examine the map that loomed over his bed as he took his famous afternoon naps. These are sights you can’t experience on the tour, sights that few people in the world have seen. But now you can walk where Churchill walked, see what Churchill saw and discover the Secrets of Churchill’s War Rooms. Jonathan Asbury is the author of the oﬃcial Churchill War Rooms guidebook, as well as guidebooks for HMS Belfast, IWM London, IWM North and IWM Duxford. He is a graduate of Churchill College, Cambridge – founded in honour of the wartime Prime Minister – and has enjoyed a life-long fascination with the way that the Second World War was won.

The infamous Sherman tank was the most widely used Allied tank of the Second World War, and the sheer number of units produced played a crucial part in the Allies winning the war.

IWM has managed a Film Archive since it was first established in 1917. The collection extends to over 23,000 hours of moving images, representing a wide and diverse range of material from public information films and oﬃcial newsreels to documentaries and unedited combat film. 50

House to House Fighting C�� G. A. W�� Do you know that house-to-house fighting is the finest sport on earth? Do you know that is it just the sort of close-quarter scrapping the British excel in? Do you know that once you get going you will love it? Do you want to come with me down our street and play hell with some bloody Huns? You do? Right, we’ll carry on! House to House Fighting is one of a series of training books written in 1942 by Colonel G. A. Wade for the newly-recruited Home Guard. This reproduction from the Royal Armouries’ archive shows how Second World War trainees learnt to defend themselves amidst the threat of enemy invasion. Colonel G. A. Wade was a British soldier and author who wrote a series of training manuals for the British Home Guard in the expectation of a German invasion. The series was originally published by Gale & Polden.

Arms and Armour of the Renaissance Joust T�� C�� The Renaissance is best known as an age of artists – Michelangelo, da Vinci, Titian and Holbein – but it is also the age of the noble patrons who challenged their painters and sculptors to create great art. These patrons were knights, military leaders and jousters. They played a central role in the story of another great Renaissance story, that of the armourer. Here, Tobias Capwell continues his history of jousting seen through surviving artefacts in the collection of the Royal Armouries. He reveals how the jousts and tournaments of the Renaissance transported knightly combat into a kind of performance art, with demonstrations of aristocratic skill and nerve, of superhuman strength and superlative horsemanship – and of cutting-edge equipment. Tobias Capwell FSA is Curator of Arms and Armour at the Wallace Collection, London. He is an expert on the study of medieval and Renaissance armour, and a skilled competitor in the modern competitive jousting community.

Tudor Power and Glory: Henry VIII and the Field of Cloth of Gold K�� D�� S�� H�� The Field of Cloth of Gold was one of the greatest courtly spectacles of the sixteenth century. A carefully-orchestrated meeting outside Calais between Henry VIII and Francis I, it encapsulated Henry’s imperial ambitions and confirmed the role of the tournament in international diplomacy. Here, Keith Dowen and Scot Hurst reveal the glamour and excitement of the Field of Cloth of Gold. Using surviving artefacts and important archival material, they illustrate how England began the transition from being a small nation on the edge of Europe to becoming a global empire with power and influence. The armour that was created for the event was made possible by Henry VIII’s new armoury at Greenwich and his existing armoury at the Tower of London. Tudor Power and Glory explains the skill of the armourers as they prepared for the tournament, the fighting that took place on horse and on foot, and the significance of the Field of Cloth of Gold as a political event as England and France, two emerging nations of old Europe, took their places on the world stage. Keith Dowen is Assistant Curator at the Royal Armouries Museum, and author of Arms and Armour of the English Civil Wars (2019). He has presented and published widely on late medieval and early modern arms and armour, and on British military history. Scot Hurst is Assistant Curator at the Royal Armouries Museum.

The Friendly Surrealist A�� P��

‘Penrose’ wrote André Breton, ‘est Surréaliste dans l’amitié’ and ‘The Friendly Surrealist’ is an apt description for the man who more than any other nurtured friendships and connections which introduced European Surrealism to the British art world. Roland Penrose embraced the fantasies and rebellions of the Surrealist movement through his friendships with artists such as Picasso, Man Ray, Miró, Ernst and Tàpies. His own works, which often reveal the true emotions behind his relationships with his wives, Valentine Boué and Lee Miller, constitute an important contribution to British Surrealist art. In this moving, revealing and highly readable memoir, Antony Penrose has composed a fitting tribute to his father, which also faces up to some of the more controversial aspects of Roland Penrose’s life.

Alan Sillitoe

Selected Poems C�� R�� F�� Alan Sillitoe is one of the leading British novelists of the twentieth century, as well as an awardwinning poet. He wrote over fifty books, establishing an enduring critical and popular success with his early novel Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1958), which set a new direction in writing about the reality of working-class lives in post-war Britain. Sillitoe said that his poetry and fiction came out of totally different territories, and that his poetry revealed his own inner life in a way that he found impossible to do in fiction. Here are poems of love and poems that reflect on the world as he saw it, as well as poems that use the story-teller’s skill to bring to life people and places that capture his imagination and take him on a search for meaning – fascist graﬃti scrawled by an unseen hand on a wall in Irkutsk, three sons standing in silence by the grave of their father. This is Sillitoe’s world as seen with his poet’s eye, a vision that is at the same time clear and precise, politically engaged, fiercely intelligent, and deeply personal. This selection, drawn from his eight volumes of poetry, has been chosen by his wife, the poet Ruth Fainlight. Alan Sillitoe (1928 - 2010) grew up in Nottingham, leaving school at the age of fourteen to work in the local Raleigh bicycle factory. In 1945 he joined the RAF as a wireless operator and was posted to Malaya, though after contracting tuberculosis he was invalided out. He met Ruth Fainlight in a bookshop in 1950 and two years later they travelled first to the south of France, then to the island of Mallorca where they lived for six years, becoming lifelong friends with the poet Robert Graves. It was there, in the small town of Soller, that Sillitoe began writing the stories and novels about working-class life that were to make him famous as one of the ‘angry young men’ of a new generation of writers. 58

Wendy, Janey, Joanne and Madge Inspirational Professors of Fashion at the Royal College of Art 1948–2014 H�� G�� The four charismatic women who led the Royal College of Art’s School of Fashion for nearly seventy years, helped establish a global reputation for British design excellence in ready-towear clothing. Madge Garland, Janey Ironside, Joanne Brogden and Wendy Dagworthy, a quartet of remarkable educators and doyennes of style and skill, encouraged their students with rigorous determination to produce nothing but the best. Garland, previously Fashion Editor of Vogue magazine and a brave pioneer when the educational establishment regarded fashion as ‘frippery’, laid foundations on which Ironside, the sparkling innovator built. Then Brogden took the School into a more competitive commercial world with fashion becoming a major economic force. When Dagworthy took over in the final decade of the 20th century, she guided her students into a new era while still respecting the inheritance of her predecessors. Today’s markets demand high-fashion-ready-to-wear, with the RCA School of Fashion’s reputation second to none for innovation in design and manufacturing techniques, and its alumni now in positions of influence throughout the world. From retail and industrial connections forged in the 1950s, RCA designers such as Ossie Clark and Zandra Rhodes, established their reputations, and top world-wide brands including Kenzo, Givenchy, Gucci , Louis Vuitton and Calvin Klein, clamoured to employ star RCA students. Henrietta Goodden has written three books for Unicorn Press: Camouflage and Art, The Lion and The Unicorn and Robin Darwin. Henrietta graduated from Kingston Polytechnic with First Class Honours in Fashion Design. As a fashion designer her clients have included M&S, Conran Design Group and Pentagram. She has been Senior Tutor in Womenswear at the Royal College of Art and a visiting lecturer there. UNICORN

Cajun Document: Acadiana, 1973–74 D�� B�� C�� H. T�� In 1973, two young photographers fresh out of art school in Chicago followed the Mississippi River south on a long road trip. In New Orleans, they heard tell of Cajun country, to the west, and there they found a distinctive culture a world apart from the rest of the United States. Douglas Baz and Charles H. Traub returned the following year and spent six months documenting the people, festivals, material culture, and haunting landscapes of Acadiana and its coastal outposts, where terra firma snakes through marshlands leading to the Gulf of Mexico. Little did Baz and Traub know that south-central Louisiana was on the verge of great change: over the following decades, a boom in oil and natural - gas production would reshape the local economy; coastal erosion would reshape the landscape; and a cultural renaissance would bring Cajun music and Cajun food worldwide exposure. For those six months in 1974, the two photographers simply shot what they saw as a singular place in America. Never before published or exhibited as a group, the images in Cajun Document illuminate the cultural threads woven through south-central Louisiana at a liminal time in its history. Douglas Baz is a fine art photographer whose work is held in the Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian Institution, and numerous other permanent collections. A graduate of the Institute of Design, in Chicago, he founded the department of photography at Bard College in 1975. A former chair of the photography department at Columbia College Chicago, Charles H. Traub founded the MFA program in photography, video, and related media at the School of Visual Arts, New York. He has had more than 60 major exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the world.

Afro-Creole Poetry in French from Louisiana’s Radical Civil War–Era Newspapers: A Bilingual Edition T�� C�� B�� A�� A�� P�� As the issue of slavery edged the United States toward Civil War, the close-knit, influential, politically progressive community of French-speaking free people of color in New Orleans founded a newspaper: L’Union: mémorial politique, littéraire et progressiste appeared in 1862, succeeded by La Tribune de la Nouvelle-Orléans in 1864. Amid the papers’ prose, more than twenty activist writers (mostly Creole gens de couleur) fought for their rights, conversed with each other, and spoke from their hearts in verse forms modeled on French Romantic poetry. The original French poems appear here alongside Clint Bruce’s sensitive English translations, mindful of meaning, meter, and sound. A comprehensive introduction, biographies of the poets, and extensive annotations immerse readers in Civil War–era Louisiana. In his research for the volume, Bruce unearthed crucial issues of La Tribune long thought lost and discovered the extent of a poetic hoax undetected for nearly 150 years. In the music of the poetry, a network of close relationships emerges as the poets together celebrate military victories, narrate tragedies, call out political betrayals, grieve lost friends and family members, and encourage each other to maintain hope in the possibility of a more just society. Clint Bruce holds the Canada Research Chair in Acadian and Transnational Studies at Université Sainte-Anne in Nova Scotia. A native of Shreveport, Louisiana, he studied at Centenary College of Louisiana; City University of New York, Lehman College; and Brown University. His research focuses on the Acadian diaspora, the Francophone Atlantic, and Creole Louisiana. UNICORN

From the Ashes

Reconstruction of Flanders Fields after the Great War W�� S�� A��, D�� C��, K�� D��, D�� D��, H�� F��, S�� L�� Once the steel storm of the industrial war had passed, the idyllic Flanders Fields region in Belgium was left as a desolate moon landscape. The First World War had wiped dozens of villages and cities completely off the map. The fields had been destroyed by grenades, mine craters, scrap, trenches, bunkers, railways and infrastructure of the war machine. But Flanders Fields rose again, like a Phoenix from the ashes. Even before the end of the war, the first people returned to their previous homes. A traditional architecture was supposed to remove all traces from the war and restore the former beauty of the area. With the first fairs and processions from 1919 onwards, the social fabric started to heal. Pilgrims started to come from all the corners of the earth to visit the many memorials and cemeteries. By the end of the twenties the reconstruction was largely finished. It is this post-war reconstruction that continues to define the characteristics of the region to this very day. This book has been published to commemorate the centenary of the recovery as guide for iconic sites of reconstruction, thematic exhibitions, public events, and walking and cycle routes that will take you to many striking sites of the reconstruction in the Westhoek. It also contains an historical overview of the revival of a region so heavily scourged by the Great War and new insights a century on.

The artist Mary Beale

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 seventeenth-century 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.

My Dearest Heart

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.
