Heywood Hardy ARWS RP RE RWA
1842 - 1933
Heywood Hardy was a painter and etcher of animals, portraits, genre and sporting subjects.
He was born in Chichester, on 25th November, 1842, son of the artist James Hardy, Sr. (18011879) and younger brother of James Hardy, Jr. (1832-1889).
After a short time with the 7th Somerset Volunteers, Hardy borrowed some money from his
brother and travelled to Paris. In 1864 he entered the Beaux Arts to study under the battle
artist, Pielse.
He returned to England in 1868 and found his work was in great demand. He was often
invited to country estates to paint portraits, sporting pictures and animal studies. Hardy
continued to enjoy commissions for portraits, animal studies and hunting scenes, but he
decided to concentrate on painting genre subjects.
From about 1870 his career flourished and he was elected a member of a number of societies
including The Royal Society of Painters and Etchers, The Royal Institute of Oil Painters and
The Royal Society of Portrait Painters. He exhibited 46 paintings at the Royal Academy
between 1864 and 1919 whilst also exhibiting at the Royal Society of British Artists and the
British Institute.

Hermanus Koekkoek Sr
1815 - 1882
Hermanus Koekkoek Sr. was born in Middelburg on the 13th March 1815 and he was a
founder member of the great Koekkoek family dynasty of painters. Hermanus worked in both
Durgerdam and Amsterdam between 1832 and 1873 and he was made a member of the
Royal Academy of Amsterdam in 1840 and elected to the Rotterdam society in 1841.
The artist exhibited regularly at the Living Artists exhibitions in Amsterdam and he even
exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in 1876.
Hermanus Koekkoek Sr. specialised in painting seascapes. In these, he achieved great renown
for his vivid and atmospheric skies that became the trademark of his works. This scene depicts
a blustery day on one of the many large estuaries found on the Dutch coast. A fishing vessel
is about to be hauled to safety by three figures; one wading into the shallows with a rope
and pole the other two waiting in readiness. A small crowd has gathered to witness the
scene. There is an element of drama and the work has an intensely atmospheric sky.
The clouds are breaking and they reveal a gloriously blue sky with a shaft of sunlight
illuminating the waves and suggesting the calm to come. The artist’s attention to detail is
stunning. Every aspect of the composition, from the translucent sea and the windswept trees
to the animation of the figures, is beautifully painted.
Hermanus Koekkoek Sr. died on the 5th November 1882 in Haarlem. His works are in many
prominent private and public collections including the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the
Boymans in Rotterdam, Glasgow City Art Gallery, Kelvingrove, the Mappin Art Gallery,
Sheffield and the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne.

Charles Henri Joseph Leickert
1816 - 1907
Born in Brussels on 22nd September 1816, Leickert showed early artistic promise. In 1827 he
went to The Hague Drawing Academy where he studied under van Hove. In 1834 he won
prizes at the Academy and at 23 he made his debut at the General Exhibition of Dutch Living
Masters. By 1840 Leickert had moved to the studio of the great artist Andreas Schelfhout and
he became one of his most gifted students. He began to paint winter as well as summer
landscapes, absorbing Schelfhout’s working methods and emulating his master by using a
high viewpoint in his pictures, creating a panoramic effect. After a while, Leickert
demonstrated that he could paint more complex compositions and he began to lower the
horizon line and incorporate more water views.
Leickert moved to Amsterdam in 1848 to establish himself as an independent painter.
Works produced from this date until the 1870s are considered to be the artist’s best.
He usually found his motifs by the water’s edge and he sought out places where there was
activity, making hundreds of sketches for later use in the studio. He was not interested in
portraying industrialisation just tranquillity and a nostalgic Romanticism. His last known
painting was done in 1896 and he died at the grand old age of 91 in 1907.

Henry George Todd
1846 - 1898
Todd was born in Bury St Edmunds, and after first working in the family decorating business,
he decided to pursue a career as an artist. He attended the Royal Kensington School of Art
where he was deemed to be a very promising young artist. After his studies Todd returned to
Suffolk and specialised in still life subjects. His early training and education in the technique
of old master still life painters is clearly recognisable; his work has a rather Dutch quality and
he is widely regarded as one of the finest painters of grapes. He exhibited at the Royal
Academy and also at the Ipswich Fine Art Society between 1875 and 1897.

Sir Alfred James Munnings KCVO PRA RWS RP
1878 - 1959
Munnings was born on October 8th, 1878 in Mendham, Suffolk. Although blinded in one
eye at the age of 20 he went on to become an artist of world renown and President of the
Royal Academy, London. Alongside Stubbs, Munnings is regarded as one of the two great
English masters of Sporting Art.
Starting out as an apprentice at a Norfolk lithographers between 1893 and 1898, he trained
as an artist, attending the Académie Julien in Paris in 1902/3 before moving to Newlyn,
Cornwall in 1911. He was sent as a war artist to France towards the end of World War 1.
In 1919 Munnings moved to Castle House in Dedham where he lived until his death in 1959.
In the 1920s his reputation grew and in 1926 he was elected to the Royal Academy, having
first exhibited there in 1898. He was elected President in 1944.
Although Munnings is best known for his studies of horses, his landscapes painted between
1898 and 1920 provide an excellent record of the way of life of rural England. From 1920
onwards his reputation as an equine artist became international, travelling worldwide to
complete commissions for many of the most famous racehorse owners.

Andrea Landini
1847 - 1912
Landini was born in Florence on 10th December, 1847. His artistic talent was apparent from
an early age and he studied painting under Pasquini and Ciseri.
In his early career the artist painted some portrait and flower subjects but he is best known
for his ecclesiastical subjects depicting cardinals in their fine robes. These paintings are often
humorous but are painted with fine attention to detail. The artist's use of rich purples and
crimsons give his paintings a jewel-like quality and confirm his place as one of the finest
artists of this genre.
Landini exhibited his works in Florence and Paris; his final exhibition was in 1911 at the
Society of French Artists.

Cecil Kennedy
1905 - 1997
Cecil Kennedy was born in Leyton on 4th February, 1905. Kennedy studied art in London and
began exhibiting his work from an early age. Before he was 24 he had shown at the Royal
Scottish Academy and the Royal Hibernian Academy and he then went on to exhibit regularly
at the Royal Academy and in the provinces.
During the early 1930s Cecil Kennedy married Winifred Aves who was very skilled at creating
the beautiful flower arrangements that Kennedy painted. Over the years the couple collected
many mid-eighteenth century Waterford vases which continually featured in his work. During
WW2 Kennedy spent time in Antwerp and it was here that he familiarized himself with the
Dutch and Flemish Old Master flower paintings which greatly influenced his painting style
and technique.
From the 1950s until the 1970s Kennedy exhibited regularly at The Fine Art Society. The artist
had many important patrons during his life including the Duke of Windsor, the Astors and
Queen Mary who noticed a ladybird that Kennedy had painted on the stem of a flower and
Kennedy always incorporated a ladybird into his paintings thereafter. Lord Thomson was also
a great admirer of Kennedy's work. Cecil Kennedy is widely regarded as the finest British
painter of flowers of the 20th century.

Alexei Alexeiwitch Harlamoff
1840 - 1925
Harlamoff was born in Saratoff, Russia in 1840. He studied at the Academy of Fine Art in
St. Petersburg where he won a gold medal and a travel scholarship in 1868. He used this
scholarship to travel to Paris where he attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and worked with
Leon Bonnat.
During his early career Harlamoff painted many genre and religious subjects and he also
became an established portrait painter. Two of his more important sitters were the
Tsar Alexander II and Prince Demidoff and he also painted Yvan Tourgueniev and Pauline
Viardot-Garcia.
By the 1880s Harlamoff was concentrating on his paintings of Bohemian children and young
peasant girls. It was these subjects, which he painted with enormous sensitivity, that gained
the artist international fame and recognition. Queen Victoria greatly admired one such work
of children playing with flowers, at the Glasgow International Exhibition of 1888.
Harlamoff was particularly skilful at painting faces. He used very soft and natural colours and
paid great attention to delicately highlighting the cheeks and temples. His masterful portrayal
of the eyes always draws the viewer directly in to the painting and emphasises the innocence
and beauty of the sitter. Harlamoff sometimes used warm crimson colours to contrast with
the pale skin tones. His paintings can be found in museums in Moscow and St. Petersburg
and in important private collections all over the world.

Benjamin Williams Leader RA
1831 - 1923
Benjamin Williams Leader was born in Worcester in 1831. His father was an engineer in
Worcester where Leader spent most of his childhood. He was educated at The Worcester
Grammar School and then started a career in engineering, which he soon abandoned to
study art at the Worcester School of Design. It was here that he learnt the basic skills of
technical draughtsmanship. Leader derived his artistic ideas directly from nature and from his
native countryside of Worcester. Scotland and Wales were also great sources of inspiration.
In 1857 he changed his name from Benjamin Leader Williams (he was related to the Williams
family of painters) to Benjamin Williams Leader. This also helped avoid confusion with the
eleven other artists of the same surname who exhibited at the Royal Academy. His picture
'A Stream from the Hills’ was commended by Ruskin in 1857, and his work entitled
'Temptation' was purchased by the successful artist, Thomas Creswick, RA. In 1863 the Prime
Minister W.E. Gladstone bought his painting of 'The Churchyard at Bettws-y-Coed', and as a
result of this Leader was flooded with commissions. He spent a great deal of his time during
these years painting in Wales. His work can be found in many important museums including
the Victoria & Albert, the Tate, Manchester, Liverpool and Bristol.

Vittorio Reggianini
1858 - 1938
Vittorio Reggianini was born in Modena, Italy and he did his training at the city’s Accademia
di Belle Arti where he subsequently became a professor.
The artist’s best works were genre subjects which depicted the life of elegant ladies and
gentlemen of the late 18th century. He was a superb draughtsman and he had a particular
talent for painting the sumptuous fabrics and furniture of that period. Reggianini’s subject
matter always suggests a story, usually of a romantic nature, but the detail is left to the
imagination of the viewer. In this particularly beautiful example of the artist’s work we are
left to wonder who is the subject of the lady’s gaze. He paints her hands and face with
delicate precision and her satin gown is exquisitely executed.
It is likely that the artist lived in Florence towards the end of the century as he exhibited there
frequently. Florence was also home to a number of artists at this time who specialised in this
genre, including Arturo Ricci (1854-1919) and Frederic Soulacroix (1858-1933). Florence was
a popular destination for wealthy art collectors from Europe and the United States and
Reggianini was a very successful artist during and after his lifetime.

Frank Paton
1856 - 1909
Frank Paton was born at Gravesend in Kent, and spent most of his working life between
London and Kent. He established himself as an animal and genre painter, and his paintings
are characterised by both their great attention to detail and their humorous content.
Many of Frank Paton's paintings were subsequently engraved and amongst these engravings
were a series of etchings surrounded by humorous vignettes, illustrating sporting or social
preoccupations. Many of his animal portraits were also engraved.
Paton was a family man, and was keen to teach his children to follow in his footsteps as an
artist. His son painted still life and interior scenes. Frank Paton was a frequent exhibitor at the
Royal Academy, showing some twenty works between 1878 and 1890. He also exhibited four
works at Suffolk Street.

Alfred de Breanski Sr
1852 - 1928
Although Breanski was born in Greenwich, London, he spent his life painting the magnificent
scenery of Scotland and Wales. He was particularly interested in the effects of sunlight on his
subjects and he frequently painted the highland lochs at sunset. Breanski was a meticulous
painter who almost always recorded the exact location of his paintings with an inscription on
the reverse of the canvas.
The artist made his debut at the Royal Academy in 1872 and he continued to exhibit there
until 1918. He also exhibited at the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the Royal Cambrian
Academy.
This painting is an example of Breanski’s best work; it incorporates all the ingredients which
made the artist so popular.

Frederik Hendrik Kaemmerer
1839 - 1902
Born in 1839 in The Hague, Frederik Hendrik Kaemmerer studied under the Orientalist painter
Gérôme in Paris where he spent much of his life.
The artist exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1870 and he was awarded a medal in 1874.
He won a silver medal at the Exposition Universelle in 1890 and he was made a Chevalier of
the Legion of Honour the same year.
Bourgeois patrons of the day were entranced by images of the luxury of the previous century
and Kaemmerer specialised in painting highly finished genre subjects which catered for this
taste for elegance and beauty. He was highly successful in his own lifetime painting
fashionable figures enjoying pleasurable pastimes. In this very accomplished work Kaemmerer
shows exquisite attention to detail and evokes a romantic atmosphere by depicting an elegant
lady gliding through the snow on a gilded sleigh that is being pushed by her gallant suitor.
Kaemmerer died in Paris in 1902.

Paul Jean Clays
1819 - 1900
Paul Jean Clays was born in Bruges on 27th November, 1819.
Clays spent several years working at sea before becoming an artist. On moving to Paris, to
pursue his ambitions, he became a student of renowned marine artists Baron Gudin and
Horace Vernet. Like many marine painters of his generation his style is heavily influenced by
the masters of the 17th Century and his subjects often recall that period. However, his
painting technique is much more fluid; his broad brush strokes and his warmth of colour
evoke a real feeling of the sea and sky which gives the paintings movement and atmosphere.
In 1867 Clays was made Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. He died on 10th February, 1900,
in Brussels where he had resided for many years. His work can be found in various museums,
including the National Gallery in London, the Metropolitan in New York and some in Antwerp
and Brussels.

John Emms
1843 - 1912
John Emms was born at Blofield, Norfolk in 1843. His interest in art took him to London, and
it is possible that he assisted Mr Frederick Leighton, later Lord Leighton, in his studio for a
time. It was as Leighton's assistant that Emms came to the New Forest to help in the
execution of the fresco "The Ten Virgins", in Lyndhurst Church.
1872 finds Emms back in the New Forest residing at Lyndhust. His ability to paint animals
soon found him clients and as he was an accomplished horseman, his activities in the hunting
field helped in finding subjects and customers for his work. Short trips to other parts of the
country, brought him work painting horse, hound and dog portraits. Apart from a brief
period in London when he got married, Emms lived in Lyndhurst from 1880 until he died in
1912.
His early pictures were carefully painted and show the use of glazes but later he developed a
direct and rapid style using a limited palette. Emms was able to portray animals, especially
hounds, with a rare vivacity, reflecting perfectly their character and personality. His hunting
scenes are among his best works, always lively, they show his knowledge of the subject
acquired by experience in the hunting field.
As a member of the Southampton Art Society he showed a number of his paintings at their
annual exhibitions. Between 1864 and 1903 Emms exhibited 20 paintings at the Royal
Academy and nearly 70 more at various London exhibitions.

Antonio Paoletti
1834 - 1912
Antonio Paoletti was born in Venice on the 8th May 1834. He specialised in painting genre
scenes and he occasionally adopted the style of the 18th century. Paoletti was very fond of
depicting the people of Venice going about their daily work, often set against the
background of the well known buildings and canals of the city. He often incorporated
children in his work and these paintings are particularly endearing. It is also known that he
painted the ceiling of the Church of the Madonna dell’Orto.
He died on the 13th December 1912 in Venice and work has been exhibited in Rome, Milan
and Turin.

Harold Clayton
1896 - 1979
Harold Clayton was born in London in 1896. He came from an artistic family and was sent
to art school in Hackney at an early age. After graduating with distinction, he moved to
Harrow Art School and completed the course, once again, with distinction. From here he was
sent to Hornsey College of Art where he studied graphic design and commercial art graduating, as ever, with distinction (even though he was not particularly enamoured of this
art form). Finally, he went to St. Martins School of Art where he studied under the celebrated
Art Master Norman Jones.
Meticulous attention to detail and his love of the garden were the two predominant forces
which shaped his painting. Although he was a master of many media it is primarily for still
life flower paintings that he became famous. This is ironic as he completed relatively few
flower paintings in his life. He painted approximately one painting per month, which
accounts for both the scarcity of his still life paintings and their quality.

Walter Hunt was born in 1861 into a highly artistic family. His father Charles Hunt was a
painter of genre scenes, and his brother Edgar Hunt is well known for his portraits of
chickens, goats and rabbits. Walter Hunt is best known for his paintings of farmyard scenes,
particularly of calves, horses and dogs. His paintings achieve superb colour and are
meticulously detailed.
Walter Hunt lived at Wandsworth in London, and exhibited works at the Royal Academy
from 1881. In 1885 this painting 'Dog in the Manger' was bought by The Chantrey Bequest.
Paintings by Walter Hunt can be seen at The Tate Gallery and also in the Sunderland Museum.

Victor Marais-Milton
1872 - 1948
Victor Marais-Milton was born in Puteaux on the river Seine to the west of Paris on 21st July,
1872. In the early part of his career he lived in Paris before settling in Sèvres where he lived
until his death. Marais-Milton’s work mainly featured figure subjects and genre themes often
incorporating Cardinals and other Clerical figures in situations which gently, yet poignantly
point an ironical finger at their role and function in the church. The Bishops, Prelates and
Cardinals in their vivid and wonderfully picturesque scarlet are often portrayed in recreational
settings, passing time by enjoying a game or playing musical instruments and singing.
However Marais-Milton did not offend with such subjects, indeed his humour is so subtle he
went on to win several prizes with similar themes. He was a member of the Salon of French
Artists where he successfully exhibited his work from 1892 as well as in Monte Carlo, Anvers,
London, Germany and the USA.

of his life but he produced many paintings which were eagerly sought after by the
contemporary bourgeoisie. In this lovely example the artist incorporates a bottle of Moet &
Chandon champagne into the composition.

Walter Wallor Caffyn
1845 - 1898
Caffyn specialised in painting landscapes, in particular harvesting and river scenes. He lived
for many years at Dorking in Surrey and he painted the local views there and in neighbouring
Sussex. He also made intermittent excursions to Yorkshire.
By the end of the 19th century, as a consequence of the Industrial Revolution, a large and
prosperous middle class had emerged in England. Many people had moved away from the
country into the city to further their business interests and they wanted paintings which
would remind them of their rural past. This created a huge demand for landscape paintings
and Caffyn and his contemporaries produced many paintings to satisfy this market. He
exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1876 and 1879 and also at Suffolk Street and the
Royal Institute of Oil Painters.
Caffyn painted using a fluid brush stroke and natural colours with touches of warm reds,
yellows and browns. In his work he frequently incorporates an impressive panoramic view
over distant landscape in the background whilst creating intimacy in the foreground with
quite detailed foliage and flowers. He often painted birds in his work; it is not unusual to find
a kingfisher hidden away somewhere or a moorhen skimming the water.

Laszlo Neogrady
1896 - 1962
Laszlo Neogrady was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1896. He was the son of the artist Antal
Neogrady and he studied painting at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts under the artist
Ede Ballo.
From 1922 Laszlo Neogrady exhibited his work at the Hungarian Art Gallery. He specialised
in painting naturalistic landscapes many of which depicted forest scenes in the snow.
These works are highly sought after and can be found in collections throughout the world.
The artist’s extensive use of impasto creates an almost three dimensional effect in these
works. His use of light is usually dramatic and his landscapes are very atmospheric. The artist
died on 27th August, 1962.

Eugenio Eduardo Zampighi
Fl. 1859 - 1944
Eugenio Zampighi was born in Modena, Italy on 17th October 1859. He showed a keen
interest in art when he was very young and at the age of thirteen he attended the Academy
of Design. Zampighi completed the course winning six first class medals in the examinations.
At the age of twenty, Zampighi won a scholarship and spent three years in Rome. He was
very successful in the yearly examinations and he was invited to become an Honourable
Member of the Modena Academy. He spent the last year of his scholarship in Florence and
he decided to settle there in 1884. It was here that Zampighi began to paint his well-known
genre subjects. These were readily sold and he received many commissions from local dealers
and from abroad.
After executing a large painting that was exhibited in the hall of the Modena Academy the
degree of Professor was conferred upon him by the Council of the Academy. Zampighi then
devoted himself to figure painting, depicting scenes of the domestic life of his countrymen.
These paintings are very pleasing compositions with lively colouring and are his best known
works. Zampighi died in Maranello in 1944. The museum of Modern Art in Modena has
examples of his works.

Amédée Julien Marcel-Clément
Born 1873
Amédée Julien Marcel-Clément was born in Paris on 15th September, 1873. He painted
various subjects including landscapes, seascapes, wildlife and Parisian scenes. In 1903 he
made his debut at the Salon de la Nationale des Beaux-Arts and he continued to exhibit there
and at the Salon des Indépendants for many years. Between 1913 and 1914 he also exhibited
in England at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and at the Royal Scottish Academy.
Although Marcel-Clément resided in Paris for virtually all his life, he only painted a relatively
small number of views of his native city. The majority of his works are shipping subjects off
the French coast and it is for these works that he is best known. His coastal views capture the
dramatic atmosphere of light emanating from the sky and bouncing off the sea. His palette
is natural and he uses varied greys and blues interspersed with whites and creams to evoke
the silvery quality of both sky and sea. Using simplified forms and abstracted surfaces the sails
of the boats are evoked with astonishing realism. The viewer is drawn into the scene as if he
were actually there.

Dorothea Sharp RBA, ROI, VPSWA
1874 - 1955
Dorothea Sharp was a landscape and figure painter who worked in oils. She studied art at
the Regent Street Polytechnic and continued her training in Paris several years later.
Like Elizabeth Forbes and Christabel Cockerell, she was at the forefront of the British
Impressionist School, and is particularly well known for her informal subjects of children at
play in the garden or on the beach.
Sharp exhibited her work at the Royal Academy between 1901- 4 but she also exhibited in
the provinces and abroad. She was elected to the Royal Society of British Artists in 1907 and
the Royal Institute of Oil Painters in 1922.
Dorothea Sharp lived in London, also at Blewbury in Berkshire and St. Ives in Cornwall.

Born 1919
Gabriel Deschamps was born in 1919 and studied at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des
Beaux Arts in Paris. From 1939 he was a State Art Professor and a member of the Paris
Autumn Salon. He was best known for his evocative landscapes depicting the spectacular
coastline of the South of France and he also painted in Provence where he had a house.
His paintings perfectly capture the fresh, vibrant colours and the intense quality of light in
that region. Deschamps exhibited in Paris, Algiers, Oran and Casablanca.

Pierre de Clausade
1910 - 1975
Pierre de Clausade was born in Paris on the 15th April, 1910. Although he did not begin to
paint for exhibition until he was 31, the desire to express himself through painting had
occurred to him many years before. Clausade felt that, in addition to a thorough knowledge
of his craft, he must experiment - following the example of his contemporaries Braque,
Matisse and Picasso. After many years of trial and error he felt sufficiently confident to hold
his first exhibition in Paris in 1943. The exhibition was a phenomenal success and as a result
further shows were held during the following years in Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Boston, New York
and Jordan.
Pierre de Clausade exhibited regularly at the Société des Beaux Arts and became a member
of the Salon d’Hiver. Then his fame spread abroad and his paintings entered many
distinguished collections, including that of the Brazilian Ambassador and the Boston and
Minneapolis Museums of Fine Art. Despite this success Clausade continued to develop his
technique, striving for perfection and the satisfaction of his analytical nature.
Pierre de Clausade was awarded the great honour of the Medaille d'Argent by the jury of the
Paris Salon in January 1953.

Colin W. Burns
Born 1944
Colin Burns is a renowned painter of landscape, sporting art and natural history subjects.
Born in Norfolk, many of Colin’s paintings depict views of East Anglia, the beauty of which
has inspired so many fine artists from the 18th century to the present day. However, he is
equally adept at capturing the highlands of Scotland and many other beautiful unspoilt areas
of England and Europe. He has held seven one-man exhibitions in London and his work is
represented in many important private collections, both in Europe and America.

James Brereton
Born 1954
James Brereton was born in 1954. He studied at the Joseph Wright Art School in Derby. By
1979 James was selling enough of his paintings to give up his job and become a professional
artist. His interest in ships and the sea was growing and this took precedence over the wide
variety of other subjects he had painted in the past. These marine works were strongly
influenced by the great marine painters Thomas Somerscales and Montague Dawson. James
sailed before the mast on the Sir Winston Churchill schooner belonging to the Sail Training
Association in the 1990s. This was an exhilarating experience which provided him with much
inspiration.
Currently, nearly all James’ works are of marine subjects and they are often painted on a large
scale in oil as he believes ‘the vast ocean is often best captured on a big canvas’. His largest
commission to date has been a pair of canvases measuring 65 x 87 inches, each of Omani
Dhows, which now hang in a fine palace. James has exhibited widely in England, including
showing at the Royal Society of Marine Artists in London.
