About the Item

Gavin Stamp (1948-2018) Christmas Card, 1975 - St Martin's Military Church, Delhi Ballpoint pen and ink 21 x 20 cm Born in 1948, Gavin Stamp was educated on a London County Council Scholarship at Dulwich College and took a degree in history and architectural history at Cambridge. He moved to London in 1972 and worked as an architectural draughtsman and graphic designer, combining this with journalism and cataloguing at the RIBA drawings collection. By the late 1970s he was describing himself as ‘an odd-job man in the vicious cut-throat world of architectural history’. Over the course of his career, his scholarship and enthusiasm promoted the understanding and celebration of several great but neglected architects, while he also succeeded in saving many 19th and 20th century buildings from demolition. Sourced from his estaste, Gavin Stamp designed this Christmas card depicting St Martin's Military Church, Delhi in the winter of 1975. The pared back aesthetic allows us to appreciate the neatness of the parallel dashes and the pleasing pointillist effect created across the trees.

Merry Christmas Card by Dino Grandi - 1958
Located in Roma, IT
A unique Merry Christmas Card Signed by Dino Grandi to the Countess Pecci- Blunt, written in English and Italian. Excellent conditions. Perfectly readable, original envelope included. St. Paul, Brasil, Christmas 1958. Dino Grandi (Mordano, 1895 - Bologna, 1988) Dino Grandi was an Italian politician and diplomat, who went down in history for the presentation of the homonymous agenda to the Grand Council of Fascism on 25 July 1943 which led to the dismissal of Benito Mussolini. He was foreign minister, minister of Grace and Justice and ambassador to London of the Kingdom of Italy. In 1943 Dino Grandi moved to Spain and Portugal, where he resided until 1948. The forties were particularly hard: in Portugal he gave repetitions of Latin while his wife worked as a milliner to survive. Luck returned in the 1950s when he had representative positions for Fiat. During the same period he was a regular consultant to the US authorities, in particular to the ambassador in Rome, Clare Boothe Luce...
