Lesley Wilson
The Overseas Daily Mail, Signed Original Advertisement Artwork, 20th Century

About the Item

Gouache, signed and dated (19)14 lower right Image size: 5 ¾ x 6 ½ inches (14.5 x 16.5 centimetres) Original oak frame The Daily Mail has long been noted for its foreign reporting and was one of the first British papers to popularise its coverage to appeal to a mass readership. By 1902, its circulation exceeded one million, rivalling the New York World and the New York Journal for the top circulating newspapers. In the first half of the 20th century international travel became increasingly popular due to developing travel links and general affordability. Newspapers such as The Daily Mail advertised their foreign editions to holidaymakers, assuring them that they would not miss out on the news while they were away. This original design for the advertisement is certainly striking. The Daily Mail's international success can be seen here literally, as numerous newspapers are shown to cover the countries of the globe. In the rear sits the machinery of the newspaper's printing press, constructed from a maze of cogs and rollers.

Reclining Nude, 20th Century Oil
By James Stroudley
Located in London, GB
James Stroudley 1906 -1985 Reclining Nude Oil on canvas, signed lower left Image size: 17 x 25 inches Original frame James Stroudley was born in London on 17 June 1906, the son of James Stroudley, showcard and ticket writer. He studied at Clapham School of Art (1923-27) and then at the Royal College of Art (1927-30), where his teachers included Alan Gwynne-Jones and William Rothenstein. As a recipient of the first Abbey Scholarship he was able to spend three years in Italy from 1930, where he absorbed the influences of Giotto and Piero della Francesca, and produced one of the last wholly satisfying decorative cycles by a Rome Scholar of the period. From 1934, he exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists, and was elected to its membership in the following year. From the Second World War – in which he worked with the Camouflage Unit – Stroudley taught at St Martin’s School of Art and was a visiting lecturer at the Royal Academy Schools. Though he continued to live in London, his later work, exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1955, indicated regular painting trips to Kent and Sussex coasts. However, much of his later work was abstract. In 1971, his former student, Peter Coker...

Vintage Mid-Century Modern Mini Swedish Figurative Portrait Painting - Whispers
Located in Bristol, GB
WHISPERS Mixed Media on Board Size: 30 x 37 cm (including frame) A wonderfully expressive and brilliantly executed figurative composition in mixed media (oil, watercolour gouache), painted onto board. Two women in black headscarves are the focus of the scene, with very captivating expressions. The woman on the right appears to look almost shocked, with her mouth ajar and her eyes widened. The woman on the left stares directly at us, her emotion less identifiable. The scene is intriguing, making us question what these women have heard or what has happened. Their faces have been painted with brilliant detail, capturing the shadows on their faces as well as the aged skin of the woman on the right. These two women are set against a blue-ish green backdrop, making their faces stand out even more from within their black head scarves...
