Why not enquire at the textiles / costume section of the V&A


textilesandfashion@vam.ac.uk


what contacts are available at Norwegian museums of costume and historical dress? Given the age of the portrait, you may want to enquire into Swedish expertise as well -- I've forgot when Norway left Swedish rule, but it wasn't that long ago.

Hallo Alex K


Thanks for these ideas. I will try the V and A. I have already been e mailing museums in Sweden and Norway, but either they don't reply or they don't recognise it.


An auctioneer suggested that it may have been done by a street artist.


I will let you know If I get anywhere.


Yours,


R N Gutsell

Hallo Huguenot


The portrait is in my posession, I like it, and I am intrigued to know more.


The V and A passed me onto the London Museum and they stated that I would need to cary on doing what I started; ie get in touch with European museums.


Yours,


R N Gutsell

    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
    • My initial thought was whether they would keep the East Dulwich Road site given how close they are - but then they've only just re-done it so I assume will be planning to run both.
