*Gerald Spencer Pryse (1882-1956) watercolour - Epe Lagoon, 38.5cm x 54cm, titled verso, unframed. Provenance: From the artist’s studio. An exhibition article recounts the history of this group of watercolour sketches - ‘In 1928 he visited Nigeria and the Gold Coast on behalf of the Empire Marketing Board: the paintings made by him in the Gold Coast were purchased by the Colonial Government. In Nigeria he made no less than a hundred sketches, in colour, in a period of only 53 working days; most of the four months spent in Nigeria being occupied in travel, often under severe conditions. These pictures constitute a unique record of scenery and life in Nigeria at that time. Captain Spencer Pryse also paid an important visit to theEmir Abd'el Karim during the Riff War in North Africa, an account of which he published in Blackwood's Magazine.’
