Welcome to Smalls Auctions Sale 220. We continue on this week with a diverse range of affordable collectables including jewellery, coins, militaria. With the current headlines in Australia focussing on a disgraced Victoria Cross recipient it is worth reflecting back on a famous Australian Artist who heard the call to arms during World War I and served admirably in the Australian forces. There are certainly no excuses for War Crimes but before joining in on the pile-on armchair critics might also like to consider that it is our Armed Forces that allow them to keep on enjoying their peaceful lives. Although British born, Theodore Penleigh Boyd gave up his peaceful life and enlisted in the A.I.F. in 1915 serving on the Western Front where he was heavily gassed during action at Ypres in 1917 and invalided to England. In the period between August 1916 and September 1917, Boyd had produced a number of pen drawings at the Front with a mapping nib he had found in the dirt. Australia had no official war artist at that time working on the Western Front and so his evocative drawings captured "a period, place and situation otherwise unrecorded by Australian artists". They appeared in the publication "Salvage" in 1918 and the captions that accompany the sketches provide a deep personal insight into life at the Front. The pen drawing on offer is the original of the pen drawing that appeared in ‘Salvage.’ If you follow history you soon realise that war is terrible but also inevitable. Wherever there are winners and losers you will always find conflict, and this unfortunately is the course of humankind. Smalls Auctions.
