[Cambridge. Queen's College, President's Gallery.] 59. [Queen's College was founded in 1446 by Margaret of Anjou and Elizabeth Wydvil. The whole of the first court, together with the Library and Chapel, was finished within a few years of the foundation. The President's Gallery, which was superimposed on the older northern cloister, is a beautiful and little altered specimen of the domestic architecture of the 16th Century. It was panelled by Humphrey Tindal, who was President between 1579 and 1614. The Gallery, one of the oustanding buildings in Cambridge, consists of one large room; in addition to the fine timber work and picturesque windows, it is notable for some fine paintings, including one by Reynolds and one by Holbein of Erasmus, who is the most famous of all the names associated with the College. The exterior of the Gallery was originally even more striking than it is now; 17th century prints show that all the windows on the court side were double decker bow windows resting on wooden pillars and surmounted by lofty turrets. They proved too heavy, and were reduced to the present proportions, the middle window remaining closest to the original design for all three of them.]

[Shakespeare's Birthplace, Stratford-on-Avon.] 18. [This building is a double two-storey gabled house. The room in which Shakespeare was born overlooks the street. The house once contained sixteen rooms, although now the attic floors have been removed to make room for a museum containing relics and documents relating to Shakespeare. The house is typical of those occupied by well-to-do tradesmen in the sixteenth century. The eastern portion was purchased by John Shakespear, the father, in 1556; the western half, which contains the room in which Shakespeare was born, was not purchased until 1575, although occupied by the family some years earlier. On his death, Shakespeare left the house to his sister, Joan Hart, and it remained in the possession of the Hart family until 1808, when it was purchased by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust In 1857-8 the Trustees carefully restored the building as nearly as possible to its original condition. The house has been a place of pilgrimage for thousands of visitors, and in the room in which the poet was born may be seen many signatures on the walls and windows, including those of Kean, Thackeray, Dickins and Sir Walter Scott. Nearly 150,000 persons visit this buidling annually, including many Americans.]

Simpson, Joseph. 1879-1939. Painter and etcher of portraits and sporting subjects. He was born in Carlisle and studied art at Glasgow School of Art. He became a close friend of D.Y.Cameron and was elected RBA in 1909. Simpson designed covers for Edinburgh publishers and was a prolific designer of bookplates. In 1918 he became an official war artist for the RAF and was stationed in France. Simpson was already forty-five when he took up etching in 1925, at the height of the boom period for the medium. His first twenty or so plates were etched with a gramophone needle and printed by the artist himself on the small press lent to him by a local Carlisle printing firm. His first exhibition of etchings took place in Glasgow at Wishart Brown in March 1926. His friend Brangwyn wrote the catalogue introduction. A second highly successful show was staged in November 1926 by Alex, Reid and Lefevre in London.
Simpson exhibited in Munich, Venice, Florence & Stockholm.
