Descripción

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. A bold, untidy and yet stylish signature, in exactly the state one would hope to find Bairnfather moniker. It gives the impression of having been sent post-haste from the trenches, scrawled in pencil on a piece of vertically-ruled paper torn out of a notebook, ruckled and grubby, and laid down on an unruckled and clean 15.5 x 9.5 cm leaf with rounded edges, torn from an autograph album. The signature Bruce / Bairnsfather is across the head of the landscape page, with a jagged line (intended for the flourish?) by Bairnsfather across the foot. On the reverse of the album leaf, with marvellous incongruity, is the signature of R Kennerley Rumford. / CLARA BUTT S HUSBAND. / 26.2.20. See Image. N° de ref. del artículo 25528
