    I The Chinese Bandit Menace in 1930 JODI MCENDARFER I Communicated by Dr. Dmitry Shlapentokh ABSTRACT: 1930 was a troublesome year for the United States and the entire world. The Great Depression troubled every economy and even highly industrialized countries struggled to stay afloat. This time was especially challenging for under­ I developed countries such as China. Because of China's underdeveloped economy, its government was, for the most part, unable to help the citizens starving in the countryside. Compounding this problem was the civil war to the north. The government pulled the majority of its troops to the north to help put down the rebellion. This left the south empty of military protection and I ripe for bandit attacks. As the bandits' success grew, so did their numbers, as many of the once law-abiding citizens turned to banditry as a means of survival. I During the early part of the twentieth century, China endured could not afford to buy it anymore.5 In fact, only the wealthy extreme political and economic unrest.

  • Rug by Francis Bacon (Lot 50)
    RCEWA – Rug by Francis Bacon (lot 50) Statement of the Expert Adviser to the Secretary of State that the rug meets Waverley criteria two and three. Further Information The ‘Applicant’s statement’ and the ‘Note of Case History’ are available on the Arts Council Website: www.artscouncil.org.uk/reviewing-committee-case-hearings Please note that images and appendices referenced are not reproduced. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Brief Description of item A hand-knotted rug in wool with linen weft, designed by Francis Bacon (1909-1992), produced by Royal Wilton, Wiltshire, as part of their ‘Wessex’ range, 1929-30. The rug is of a rich brown colour with a floating centralised geometric design, which is made up of overlapping elongated rectangles and semicircles. There are areas of contrasting spots and mottled weave in the outermost rectangles. ‘Francis Bacon’ in upper case letters is woven into the bottom right corner. Measurements: 212.5 h. x 124.70 w. cm. Approx. 7’ h. x 4’ w. Condition: the rug is structurally sound but with light soiling, some stains and some fading. The side edges appear to have been repaired. 2. Context This hand-knotted rug forms an important and little-known part of the first artistic output of Francis Bacon, one of the most important and widely recognised of all modern British artists. It was made in about 1929-1930 when he worked as a furniture and interior designer in London, as well as pursuing his ambitions in painting. Bacon offered his rugs for sale at the first exhibition of his work which took place in his South Kensington studio in November 1930.
