Footnote
Robert Bevan, Harold Gilman and Charles Ginner were all members of the Camden Town, London and Cumberland Market Groups active in London from 1911. The artist Edward Le Bas (1904-66) became financially independent after his father's death and from the late 1930s was an enthusiastic and generous collector. He became good friends wtih Ginner and was elected to the London Group himself in 1942. This portfolio celebrates the works he acquired by Gilman and Ginner, some of which were included in the exhibition A Painter's Collection, held at the Royal Academy of Arts, London in 1963.
