BERNARD DE HOOG (DUTCH 1867 - 1943), FEEDING TIME oil on board, signedframed and under glassimage size 25cm x 21cm, overall size 52cm x 36cmNote: Dutch artist, Bernard De Hoog, produced a rich oeuvre of gentle interior scenes, which celebrated the everyday moments within family - particularly between mothers and their children. Newborns are cradled within their mother's arms while siblings read in rustic kitchens. In many respects, De Hoog’s work is comparable to the great Dutch painter, Jozef Israëls (1924-1911) and ultimately rooted within the traditions of the Dutch masters. During his time studying under the eminent Jan van Essen, he produced numerous copies of old masters while honing his technique. It’s said that his career began through chance when working in an office for a merchant. Rather than figures in a ledger, the merchant discovered various sketches and drawings and was so impressed that he asked the young De Hoog to paint his wife. This, in turn, led to the artist’s tutelage under a drawing master and later, an academy. When we look back across his body of work, the consistent thread is a celebration of simple family life and the instinctive love between a mother and child. Misty sentimentalism majestically described with an impressionistic touch.In 1939, Do Hoog’s work was shown in an exhibition at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.

The scope of the club's expedition expanded with the advent of the railway, and in time they also assumed a variety of social and charitable responsibilities, including a yearly poetry competition of which the 1932 edition was won by a young Muriel Camberg, known to posterity as Muriel Spark, who recalled the occasion in her 1992 autobiography Curriculum Vitae: ‘It was 1932, the year of the centenary of the death of Sir Walter Scott. A poetry competition was launched among the schools of Edinburgh by the Heather Club, a men’s club founded in 1823 (for what purpose I do not know, except that it was very Scottish). I won first prize with my poem about Sir Walter Scott, and another girl at Gillespie's got third prize. The school was doubly jubilant; everyone was delighted … I felt like the Dairy Queen of Dumfries, but I endured the experience and survived it'.

A Great War ‘German Spring Offensive’ M.M. and Second Award Bar group of four awarded to Lance-Corporal W. Ready, Northumberland Fusiliers Military Medal, G.V.R., with Second Award Bar (13-5947 Pte. W. Ready. 9/North’d Fus:); 1914-15 Star (5947 Pte. W. Ready. North’d Fus:) unofficially re-engraved; British War and Victory Medals (5947 Pte. W. Ready. North’d Fus.) edge bruise and light contact marks to MM, nearly very fine and better (4) £500-£700 --- M.M. London Gazette 6 August 1918. The Fusiliers Museum of Northumberland, adds: ‘For gallantry in the field on 21/22 March 1918 in operations near St. Ledger.’ M.M. Second Award Bar London Gazette 7 October 1918. Walter Ready was born in Newcastle on 11 June 1892 and worked as a builder’s labourer in Blaydon, Tyne and Wear. Posted to the 13th (Service) Battalion, Northumberland Fusiliers, he proceeded to France on 9 September 1915 and joined the British assault at the Battle of Loos, notably the action of 26 September 1915 at Chalk Pit Wood. Sometime transferred to the 9th Battalion, Ready was present in the trenches on the morning of 21 March 1918 when the Germans launched a devastating artillery bombardment followed by an infantry assault over a ridge known as the Hog’s Back. The Battalion War Diary confirms heavy engagement, the scene being temporarily stabilised via a counter-barrage by the Royal Field Artillery. Further attacks continued into the early hours of the next morning and it soon became clear that the positions of the 9th Battalion were untenable; Brigade orders were therefore issued at 8.15pm for a retirement west towards the village of Hamelincourt. The Battalion War Diary lists Ready alongside 18 comrades as awarded the Military Medal for this action. Relocated from Hamelincourt to Armentieres, the Battalion survivors spent April 1918 engaging in defensive measures, most likely the reinforcement of strong points, maintenance of the trench network and wire, and camouflaging of positions to prevent aerial attack. On 9 April 1918 the enemy launched a dawn barrage on the Northumberland’s positions using gas shells; advancing a midday, the storm troopers soon captured Bois Grenier and the ground around Nieppe and Armentieres; this included street fighting in the village of Neuve Eglise where every cellar was bitterly fought over using grenades and small arms. On 16 April 1918 the 9th Battalion launched a successful counterattack, followed by a successful holding action the next day which drove off lines of fast moving enemy infantry; Ready is listed once more in the Battalion War Diary alongside men who ‘distinguished themselves in the fighting’ and had done ‘exceptionally well’. Awarded a Second Award Bar to the M.M., Ready remained in the trenches and is noted by the Fusiliers Museum as having been wounded in May 1918. This is confirmed in the St. George’s Gazette of 31 May 1918. Returned home, he was discharged from the Army Reserve in 1919 and later worked as a miner in the Stargate colliery. Sold with extensive copied research, including a photographic image of the recipient.
