Holy Land.- Smith (Percy John Delf, calligrapher, typographer and printmaker, Master of the Artworkers Guild, RDI, 1882-1948) Collection of original drawings, figure studies, photographs, including pencil studies of ancient ruins, plans relating to 'King Solomon's Mines', landscapes, studies of merchants, goats, and other character studies, pencil, black chalks, some heightened with white, one with watercolour samples to edges, on various papers, some tracing papers, various sizes between 100 x 70 mm (3 3/8 x 2 3/4 in) and 395 x 305 mm (15 1/2 x 12 in), some handling creases, small nicks and tears, spotting and browning, unframed, [circa 1930s] (Sm. Qty.) ⁂ Percy John Delf Smith was a British etcher and letterer. He served as a gunner in the First World War, and worked in Palestine in 1932, where many of the present studies were presumably produced. His etching "Death Marches" was part of a seven-part series, "The Dance of Death 1914-1918," that explored the spectre of Death following British soldiers. After the war, Smith was commissioned to create the lettering for the Canadian National Vimy Memorial at Vimy Ridge. During the 1920s and 30's he designed other memorials, including one for Kitchener, as well as lettering for commercial companies.
