A rare survival, (blocks are frequently discarded, or shaved down for re-use), these blocks offer an insight into the artist's working methods. From a design point of view they are amongst Brangwyn's most direct and successful compositions and a perfect expression of the extraordinary graphic vigour with which he created work.

The text for L'Ombre de la Croix, written by the brothers Jerome and Jean Tharaud, was published by Editions Lapina, Paris, 1931, in two volumes, and was illustrated with 73 Brangwyn etchings. The book describes the lives of Jews in contemporary Europe and many of Brangwyn's illustrations appear to depict the town of Belz in Poland, which was a centre of pilgrimage.

This painting shows a giant dahlia, a flower of South American origin. It is typical of the dense and richly coloured foliage that Brangwyn used to great effect in the murals he painted for the House of Lords in 1926. Brangwyn was a keen horticulturist: through his apprenticeship with William Morris he developed a love of traditional English flora; through his travels abroad he developed a love of the exotic. His garden at the Jointure in Ditchling, Sussex, combined the two. As a painter, Brangwyn responded to all forms of nature, making large numbers of spontaneous sketches on scraps of paper in response to the environment around him. This plein-air sketch is unusual for being in oil. We are grateful to Dr Libby Horner for her assistance. The work is number O2512 in her forthcoming catalogue raisonné. Six other still lives with dahlias are recorded.

Provenance: William Stewart, and by descent
This spontaneous oil sketch brings to mind Paris of the 1890s, with its musicians, absinthe drinkers and bohemians, immortalised by the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists. Brangwyn was working in Paris in 1895, painting mural and stencil decorations on the exterior of the Galerie L'Art Nouveau for Siegfried Bing.
Technically the painting shows clearly how Brangwyn, at times, laid his colours over a warm pink-orange ground, thereby achieving a greater luminosity. Musicians appear frequently throughout Brangwyn's oeuvre. Writing to Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo in 1940, on the death of their mutual friend the music antiquarian and scholar Arnold Dolmetsch, Brangwyn wryly remarked: 'your old friend Dolmetsch has gone to play his viols and virginals before The master [sic]. He will no doubt see some wonderful instruments there?' Letter from Brangwyn to Mackmurdo, 21 April 1940, William Morris Gallery, London. We are grateful to Dr Libby Horner for her assistance.

In 1910 Brangwyn completed a large oil entitled New Wine, 81 X 106 ins (205.7 X 269.2 cm). This was subsequently purchased by the wealthy Japanese industrialist Kojiro Matsukata, but was probably destroyed in the Pantechnicon fire in London (1939).

Harry Gordon Selfridge, nicknamed 'Mile a Minute Harry', brought American ideas on commerce and advertising to the British retail business. His vast emporium on Oxford Street was, when built, the largest in England and was enlarged over the following twenty years. Brangwyn was commissioned to design a decoration for the interior of a dome designed by Sir John Burnet. The huge dome, 70ft (21 metres) in diameter and 130ft (40 metres) above the ground, was to be tiled in mosaic, the subject being, appropriately enough, 'Trade of the World'. Brangwyn designed the top of the dome as an inverted globe upon which he noted various countries, together with flora and fauna of those areas, whilst the lower parts were filled with exotically dressed people and traders, each figure measuring some 16-17ft (5 metres) high. Unfortunately the mosaics were never executed because, apparently, the London County Council feared that the excessive weight might damage the underground railway.

Brangwyn produced a number of pen and ink sketches to illustrate Brangwyn's Pilgrimage, by William de Belleroche. This particular drawing records the devastation caused by the earthquake on 28 December 1908 at Messina, Sicily, when the shore sank by 16ft. 5ins. overnight and 84,000 people lost their lives. Brangwyn visited the site and made numerous sketches of the area when he visited his friend R. H. Kitson in Taormina, Sicily, in 1909.

This scene, one of several Brangwyn painted of Spanish goatherds, was undertaken whilst travelling through Spain in 1892 in company with Arthur Melville. It is aptly described in an article Brangwyn wrote for The Studio:
‘Under the long shadows of a few poplars on the banks we could see a goatherd surrounded by flocks of black goats,looking like spots of ink on the sun-swept hills’.(33)
Brangwyn recorded that the two artists actually sketched a goatherd a few days later at Galar, as Brangwyn spelt it, Melville having persuaded the man to come down to the canal side.

Ill: Scribner’s Magazine, cover, Vol XXXVIII, October 1905
This painting demonstrates two salient points about Brangwyn’s working practice. Firstly his ‘pattern book’working process, by which figures would be re-used, irrespective of changes in context or the passage of time. On 7 May 1921, Frank Alford wrote that he was working on one of the murals for Jefferson City: ‘FB thinks of taking out the figures on the extreme [left] being a man carrying a large basket of fruit on his head,& putting in its place a figure of a boy on a ladder pulling fruit.The same boy was used in one of FB’s series for Scribner’s magazine.’ (36)
Secondly, despite the fact that Brangwyn was financially secure by 1905, he continued to accept commercial commissions,partly because he found it difficult to refuse any challenge, but mainly because by these means he could introduce art to a wider audience. The gold painted bar across the painting relates directly to the format of the magazine cover.

The Barbizon House record noted that:
‘There is a fine massive confusedness in this remarkable painting. The busy scene is filled with the movement of many strong figures, some occupied with the ephemeral passing of the fish-catch of the morning, while others are equally busy with the more permanent building of a good ship of the future.
The artist has aimed at producing a grand decorative scheme showing the scaffolding reaching to the ribs of the vessel and the active movement ofthe workers in full swing, each absorbed in his own labour.’
