100889The sketches range between 100-140 mm high and 70-90 mm wide two are smaller; they are mounted in five roughly straight lines with their names and regional addresses or rural industry employers added in ballpoint pen to the mount. It is behind glass in its original and appropriately rustic white-painted wooden frame external dimensions 770 × 970 mm visible image size 595 × 800 mm. There is a Royal Easter Show Art Prize Exhibitions label on the verso identifying the artist as Frank F. Forster 10 Walker Ave Narrabeen. The asking price on the label was $100 indicating it was exhibited on this occasion after the introduction of decimal currency February 1966 but it looks earlier perhaps 1940s-50s: just count the hats!. Whether this was the artist's intention or whether it is indeed a product of an earlier time we cannot say but it certainly hits the spot. These are not just caricatures they are clearly characters presumably mates of Bushwaka himself: Cunningham Henderson of Casino; O.O.H. Dangar of Narrandera; C.J. Chisholm of Khancoban; A.H. Jeffreys and D.H. McKay of Delegate; Bert Parkes of Collarenabri; Mick Raleigh and Jack Watts of Wagga; E.H. Turner of Gunning . and on it goes. Cunningham Henderson died at the age of 89 in December 1954; although he is depicted as an elderly gentleman in this group portrait there is no sense of 'In Memoriam' about it. The last word on the subject goes to Year Book Australia 2000 page 447: 'Prosperity in the wool industry peaked in 1950-51 when the average greasy wool price reached 144.19 pence per pound'. unknown

Thank you <u>so</u> much for that magnificent & highly original inkwell I don't know how you manage to find these things with feathers on Is there anything which <u>hasn't</u> got feathers on!</em></p><p><em>I was so touched that you managed to ensure your present reached me on my birthday in Tokyo. I felt very spoilt!</em></p><p><em>All best wishes as always</em></p><p><em><u>Charles"</u></em></p><p>The King was in Tokyo on his birthday in 1990 as the then Prince and Princess of Wales were attending the enthronement of Emperor Akihito. Emperor Akihito recently abdicated in 2019 due to his declining health and was replaced by his son formerly Crown Prince Naruhito.</p><p>Dudley Poplak was born in South Africa in 1930 and received British citizenship shortly after moving to Britain in 1959. Poplak was a highly successful interior designer receiving commissions from the British royal family and British nobility. He initially came into contact with the royal family via Frances Shand-Kydd 1936-2004 the Mother of Diana Princess of Wales. He was introduced to Frances Shand-Kydd by Elizabeth Clare Hanley 1915-2002 a lampshade designer who received a royal warrant in 1977 as the official lampshade supplier for the royal family.</p><p>Poplak updated the rooms Diana Princess of Wales was using when she first moved to Kensington Palace in 1981. He also refurbished Highgrove House for the Prince of Wales and his soon to be wife Lady Diana Spencer which he regarded as "the most important assignment I have ever had." Poplak's 2005 obituary in The Times characterised him as "a shy and private man" who was deeply valued and trusted by his clients for his "courtier-like discretion and marked reticence with the press." When The Times wrote a story that he was refurbishing Highgrove House for the Prince and Princess of Wales he stated:</p><p>"I certainly won't tell you what the colour schemes are. That would be like disclosing the design of Lady Diana's wedding dress."</p><p>After the wedding of the Prince and Princess of Wales Poplak carried out further interior design projects at the royal residences and also on the royal train. Poplak was a good friend of both the Prince and Princess of Wales and remained so even after the couple's divorce. Although Poplak retired in the 1990's he continued to carry out interior design work for Prince Charles up until he died in 2005.</p><p>The Times.
