The unimpeded ocean-meets-clouds backdrop allows this bathing beauty in her very modern swimsuit to take central focus. Swimming and sunbathing became popular British pastimes in the 1920s and '30s, and bathing suits evolved with figure-hugging materials and more revealing cuts for movability and better tanning potential. Ladies like this one became iconic symbols of British seaside resorts and modern recreation activities. Rare! (Art Deco; Travel; Railway; British Travel)

    May. 01, 2019

    AR Charles Pears, RSMA (British, 1873-1958) The Evacuation of St Nazaire, 17th June 1940

    Est: £12,000 - £18,000

    Charles Pears, RSMA (British, 1873-1958) The Evacuation of St Nazaire, 17th June 1940 signed 'Chas PEARS' (lower right)oil on canvas80 x 113cm (31 1/2 x 44 1/2in). Named for one of the Hebridean Islands, Oronsay was the second of five identical sisters ordered for the Orient Line's premier Australian passenger service in a post-War rebuilding programme begun in the early 1920s. Laid down in John Brown's yards on the Clyde, she was launched on 14th August 1924 and completed for sea on 14th January 1925. Registered at 20,001 tons gross, she measured 659 feet in length with a 75 foot beam and had accommodation in two classes for about 1,850 passengers, fitted with twin screws driven by geared turbines powered from oil-fired boilers, she was a handsome and well-appointed ship destined to prove very popular with the travelling public. Following successful sea trials in the Firth of Clyde, she left Tilbury on her maiden voyage to Brisbane on 7th February and thereafter maintained an unblemished regular service to Australia for the ensuing fourteen years.Departing Tilbury on 26th 1939, she was eight days out and into the Mediterranean when War was declared on 3rd September, the immediate result of which was that she was well clear of Suez before her captain once again allowed any visible lights after dark. After returning home in early December, she made only one more round-trip before being requisitioned as a troop transport on 6th April 1940. Modified to carry an additional 1,274 persons, she was first involved in evacuating troops after the disastrous campaign in Norway and finally returned to Gourock, on the Clyde, on 12th June 1940. Two days later, in company with her sister Otranto and another Orient liner, the Ormonde, she sailed for St. Nazaire, on the Atlantic coast of France, to assist with the evacuation of Allied troops in danger of being trapped by rapidly advancing German forces. Oronsay arrived at St. Nazaire early on 17th June and began embarking troops immediately; several hours later, at 1.48pm, she (and the other ships standing off the port) came under heavy air attack during which she was hit several times, including a direct hit on her chartroom which not only destroyed everything in it, but all her internal communication equipment, as well as her radio.Not so fortunate was another transport, the Cunard liner Lancastria, lying nearby and also embarking troops in large numbers. Just as she was about to weigh anchor in the Charpentier Roads, she too came under attack from German bombers. During the third wave, she was hit by a string of four bombs, one of which penetrated the engine room and caused a massive explosion. An immediate list allowed the launching of only two lifeboats and, after about twenty minutes, the doomed vessel rolled over and sank. Approximately 2,500 men were rescued by small craft and many of them were transferred into Oronsay before she departed the scene. The actual death toll on the Lancastria has never been confirmed however, and whilst a minimum of 3,000 seems certain, it has been suggested that it could even have been as high as 6,500. Ruthlessly censored at the time, the full horror of the incident was not revealed until well after the end of the War and whatever the total number of deaths, it was and remains the worst maritime disaster in British history.As for the Oronsay, her master, Captain Nicholls, somehow got her back to Plymouth safely "with the aid of a French motoring map and a penny ruler" as he had no navigational instruments or charts, all of which had been lost in her wrecked chartroom. After repairs, she then resumed her wartime duties but was torpedoed and sunk by the Italian submarine Archimede off West Africa on 9th October 1942. Fortunately running empty on that occasion, most of her crew were saved and only five lives were lost.This superbly atmospheric painting, and one of the very few images in existence of the sinking Lancastria, depicts an incident within the wider operations lasting from 10th - 25th June 1940 which, whilst greatly overshadowed by the epic evacuation of troops from the beaches at Dunkirk, was nevertheless hugely significant in itself and saved just over 215,000 servicemen and civilians from German imprisonment.Charles Pears established himself illustrating for periodicals before becoming a prolific poster artist during the inter-war period, which included working with London Underground, the Empire Marketing Board and various rail companies. A keen yachtsman, the sea inspired much of his output and eventually led him to become the first President of the (Royal) Society of Marine Artists in 1939. His vast knowledge of ships and high degree of technical precision made him an ideal appointment as a war artist with the government seeking accurate records during wartime. In the First World War he held a commission in the Royal Marines and was an official war artist to the Admiralty, before working for the War Artists' Commission during the Second World War. Examples from these periods seldom appear on the market as the majority are part of the Imperial War Museum and National Maritime Museum collections. Typical of all Charles Pears' works, 'The Evacuation from St. Nazaire' combines the unique stylised charm and meticulous detail he is renowned for. The scene successfully captures the drama and tension of the event, as the viewer is placed as if in a boat edging closer to the action. Owing to the government's decision not to publicise the event and Pears' official role at the time, this is certainly an extremely rare and important historical document of a major event at the start of the Second World War.

    Est: £15,000 - £20,000

    Charles Pears, RSMA (British, 1873-1958) Mauretania signed 'Chas PEARS' (lower left)oil on canvas239 x 364cm (94 1/8 x 143 5/16in). Of all the great liners that once plied the North Atlantic, the Mauretania was perhaps the most famous. Conceived with her equally celebrated sister ship Lusitania, the two ships were built as a British response to the increasing threat to Cunard's domination of the transatlantic passenger trade posed by the brash White Star Line which, in 1901, had passed into American ownership. Mauretania, at 31,938 tons, was launched on 20th September 1906 and was ready for trials exactly a year later. Her builders, Swan Hunter, handed her over to Cunard on 7th November 1907 and she sailed from Liverpool on her maiden voyage to New York on 16th November. On the return passage, she established a new record for the eastward crossing with an average speed of 23.69 knots, amply justifying the faith that had been placed in her giant turbine engines. In May 1908 she broke the record for the westbound crossing, only losing it to her sister a few months later. Regaining it in September 1909, when her average speed on the westward passage reached 26.06 knots, this new record was to stand for a remarkable twenty years until broken by the German liner Bremen.Financed by a Government loan like her sister, Mauretania was requisitioned for war service in 1914 and operated as both a troop transport and a hospital ship. Eventually released in May 1919, she resumed peacetime sailings only for them to be interrupted in July 1921 when she was severely damaged by fire whilst at Southampton. Repaired, remodelled and converted to oil-firing, she returned to service in March 1922 and once again set new speed records which averaged 25.5 knots. Despite her advancing age, she was rapidly becoming an institution among the travelling public and became a living legend as the 1920s drew to a close. When she eventually lost the 'Blue Riband' to the Bremen in July 1929, she took up the challenge to recover it immediately with her fastest-ever crossings over the measured distance. Her average speed on the homeward run of 27.2 knots narrowly failed to catch Bremen's 27.9, but it was an astonishing achievement for the twenty-two year old veteran against the new German contender. In 1930, against a background of deteriorating economic conditions, she was withdrawn from the North Atlantic and put onto cruising. In May 1933, her hull was painted white to reflect this new rôle but she only survived two more years until sold for scrapping in 1935. The public mourned her as affectionately as they had honoured her in her prime. She had won for herself a place in maritime history such as no other steamship had ever done and it was not in the least surprising that even long after she had been broken up, she was still commonly known as "The Grand Old Lady of the Atlantic".

Condition B+: foxing in text; creases in margins and image; minor restoration along vertical fold; repaired pin holes at corners and edges. Matted and framed.
