<p>In 'Laura Knight at Theatre' (Unicorn Press, 2008) Timothy Wilcox writes:</p> <p>The figures in this dressing room scene have not been conclusively identified, but the foreground figure is likely to be Lopokhova, in the costume of Columbine in Carnaval. The flounced dress was decorated with a motif of cherries around the hems, which Knight, as often elsewhere, renders more simply.</p>

<p>Full title: Jean Straker, Photographer. Jean Straker was born in London in 1913. During the Second World War, Straker, a conscientious objector, worked as a photographer. Jean soon discovered how great the need was for detailed, speedy medical photography, particularly of surgical procedures. There were numerous emergency operations performed during the air raid years and operating techniques were changing and developing rapidly. Photographs, particularly those in sequence, were of the utmost value, as records and in the teaching hospitals as teaching aids. Abandoning commercial photography in 1951 Jean set up The "Academy of Visual Arts". Members had access to exhibitions resulting from its program of lecture-demonstrations. In 1951, he opened the Visual Arts Club at Studio House, 12 Soho Square, for "artists and photographers, amateur and professional, studying the female nude". Six years in 1961, officers from Scotland Yard, acting on a tip of from the Italian Police, visited Straker. In 1961, police raided Studio House and took a number of prints and negatives that they considered obscene. Straker stood trial in 1962, he defended himself and despite arguing that his photographs were "of artistic value", he lost the case and forfeited all the prints and negatives that were confiscated. But on appeal to The House of Lords this conviction was squashed. This case lead to changes in the Censorship Laws in 1965.</p>

<p>Hwfa Môn was the name taken by the Anglesey-born poet and independent minister, Rowland Williams (1823-1905), when he was invested as a Bard in 1849. In 1894 he was elected Archdruid, head of the Gorsedd of Bards. Originally from Bavaria, Herkomer settled in Britain and had a lifelong loyalty to Wales. He much admired the bardic traditions and was closely involved in the National Eisteddfod of Wales, the annual festival of Welsh culture, over which the Gorsedd presided. This interest may have been sparked by his second and third wives, the sisters Lulu and Margaret Griffiths, who were Welsh. </p> <p>This portrait was made during the 1895 Eisteddfod at Llanelli at which Herkomer awarded the prizes in the art section. He wrote a short article in The Graphic following his visit, in which he objected to the costumes of the Gorsedd. He thought they needed 'overhauling' and could be made 'not only picturesque but archaeologically correct'. He subsequently designed new ones, which were used at the 1897 Newport Eisteddfod. This drawing was reproduced as a lithograph to accompany The Graphic article. Herkomer also produced an extraordinary finished watercolour of the same sitter, which is now in the Forbes Magazine collection, New York.</p> <p>An 1894 photograph shows the Archdruid (Clwydfardd) wearing the mitre worn by Hwfa Mon in this drawing. HM appears in another photograph in the same old costume at Llandudno National Eisteddfod in 1896. The new costume designed by Herkomer was first worn by HM in the proclomation ceremony for the Newport National Eisteddfod, August 1896.</p> <p>NMWA 3708 was reproduced as a lithograph in`The Graphic', 10 August 1895, p. 160, the opposite page (161) reproduces another Herkomer portrait of "Gurnos" Jones, conductor of the Welsh Eisteddfod. </p> <p>Hubert von Herkomer, `Hwfa Mon, Archdruid of Wales' 1896, watercolour, Forbes Magazine Collection, New York (P79177-W), in a white and gold frame designed by the artist.</p> <p>Source: Victorian Visions 2004-05 catalogue entry by Beth McIntyre</p>
