XXIII illus. Literature:Derek Hudson, James Pryde, Constable and Company Ltd., London, 1949, p. 97 This dramatic and imposing work was ultimately a result of the terrifying war years during which it was painted. 'The House' was completed in 1917, commissioned by the Red Cross. Flashes of red material are seen cascading down the facade of the house owing to the 'Red Cross' and possibly the representation of blood shed during the war years. James Pryde was born in Edinburgh in 1866. From a young age Pryde was influenced by the Glasgow School of painters looking towards artists such as James Guthrie for inspiration. After school Pryde went onto study Fine Art at the Royal Scottish Academy and felt deeply connected to Scotland throughout his life. It was his later works which were particularly influenced by Edinburgh in particular. It was the architecture, history and spirit of the city which fascinated him. Pryde became renowned for his architectural capriccios and depictions of ruins which weaved together elements of fantasy and reality to create whimsical compositions that challenged the concept of architectural representation. His compositions combined elements from different architectural styles, blending historical references and dreamlike interpretations, pushing the viewer to become immersed by the landscape and step inside the architectural form. Whilst pursuing his career as an artist Pryde worked as a part time actor. He became close friends with Sir Henry Irving and designer Edward Gordon Craig. In 1930, Pryde was commissioned to design the set of Paul Robeson's Othello. It is clear to see the mixture of influences in the present lot combining architecture, set design and sheer imagination.

        The Hour Illustrated.

        Est: $2,500 - $3,000

        The Hour Illustrated was a short-lived London weekly, first appearing in the spring of 1895. A trade magazine announcing the launch of the publication called it "the newest and brightest weekly," with free postage, savings bonds, accident insurance, scholarship opportunities, "special attractions for Ladies," and "Novel and Valuable Prizes," not to mention the "brilliant writing" and fabulous fashion plates heralded on this poster. What it fails to mention is that it was actually an overhaul of an older magazine of the same title which had a less-popular religious overtone. The poster itself is one of the Beggarstaff's smallest creations, and was simultaneously issued without the text for collectors. It is interesting to note that the signature here is "J. & W. Beggarstaff" rather than the more common "Beggarstaffs."

        BEGGARSTAFF BROTHERS (JAMES PRYDE, 1869-1941 & WILLIAM NICHOLSON, 1872-1949) THE BLACK AND WHITE GALLERY / LOUIS MEYER. Circa 1899. 19x26 1/4 inches, 48x66 1/2 cm. Condition A. The Beggarstaff Brothers were pioneers in the world of graphic art and instrumental in affecting poster design at the turn of the century, formulating the direction of graphic design and illustration throughout the 1920s and 30s. They worked together for five years (1894-1899), masterfully employing the art of silhouette, via cut-outs and solid planes of color. In spite of the artistic and historical importance of their work, their careers were not easy and they constantly struggled with their clients. As a result, their production was very limited and the survival rate of their work even less! In addition to creating posters, the Beggarstaffs also designed street signs for merchants. "In 1897 or 1898 the Beggarstaffs painted an attractive sign board for the Black and White Gallery, a [print] shop in Piccadilly founded by Louis Meyer in the Summer of 1897 . . . the Beggarstaff's original sign for the establishment no longer exists, but a collotype facsimile was made at a relatively early date, presumably at the instigation of the proprietor" (Beggarstaff p. 78). Beggarstaff p. 80, Modern Poster p. 52.
