Best.-Nr. 57778no date circa 1940s. Children's Adventure Artwork ORIGINAL PAINTING 38 x 57cm. Gouache painted directly onto a Winsor & Newton Fashion-Plate Drawing Board details printed on reverse. A little rubbed chipped and bumped to edges but clean and bright generally. Very good. An original painting produced by Leslie Stead or one of the members of 'Studio Stead' believed for a Biggles title but apparently never published. Winsor and Newton's art supplies factory in Wealdstone Middlesex opened in 1937 providing a terminus post quem. The style of their advertisement on the back suggests a date between the late 1930's and the early 1950's but otherwise there is no direct evidence to suggest a date for the painting unless the title of the book it was intended to illustrate could be established. no date [circa 1940s] unknown

H. Cooper Royal Arcade; the albumen print is in good condition; the mount is chipped at two corners but is clean and stable. A rare studio photograph of New Zealand-born Australian boxer Otto Cribb born Alfred Otto Simpson 1878-1901 pictured in a fighting stance. The portrait - which appears unrecorded in Australian collections - was taken in Sydney almost certainly within the short period between his return from the United States and his final bout against Mick Dunn in Sydney on 22 July 1901 after which he died tragically the next day from head injuries sustained in the fight at the age of just 23. 'Otto Cribb came to Australia from New Zealand. He was born at Dunedin in the south Island on St Valentines Day 1878. After cleaning up all the local welterweights he like many of his countrymen crossed the Tasman and made a mess of some of Australia's best. Cribb was a truly great puncher and after thrashing a dozen of the Aussie lads took the Australian welter title from Snowy Sturgeon with an eight round knockout on April 21st 1900. In October of that year he defended his title against Mick Dunn with a seventh round knockout before travelling to America where he impressed everyone with his toughness and two fisted punching. After a successful tour he returned to Sydney where on July 22nd 1901 he put his title on the line against Mick Dunn at the Gaiety Hall. It was a tough bruising affair with Cribb being counted out in the ninth round while resting on one knee. He seemed to recover quickly and after dressing went back to his hotel The Cliff House at Bondi and retired for the night. In the morning his manager found him dead in his bed. He was twenty three. Upon hearing the news Mick Dunn announced his retirement from boxing. Cribb's record is impressive. Of twenty six bouts he only lost two winning nineteen by knockout.' NLA unknown
