The international dimension of our work has given me the opportunity to represent the University at degree ceremonies and alumni reunions held during the year in Thessaloniki, St Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and China. These occasions provide a welcome opportunity to reconnect with our overseas alumni, and the Development and Alumni Relations Office is playing a pivotal role in this regard. Our international students make a wonderful contribution to life on the University campus, and meeting them in their home countries emphasises just how much they value their ‘Sheffield experience’. A great deal of this is down to our progressive Union of Students, which is constantly evolving to meet the ever-changing needs of its customer base. The origins and early development of the University owe much to the foresight and generosity of the citizens J11737_Uni Annual Report 2005 15/3/06 9:25 am Page 4 4 FINANCIAL REVIEW ANNUAL REPORT 2004/05 Financial Review Treasurer’s Report 2004/05 has been another demanding (8.3%) to £77m, with increases in year, which has seen steady progress both the home and overseas student towards the achievement of the markets.

  • British Canvas, Stretcher and Panel Suppliers' Marks. Part 12, England Outside London
    British canvas, stretcher and panel suppliers’ marks. Part 12, England outside London This guide surveys suppliers’ marks and labels on the reverse of picture supports. This part is devoted to suppliers in England excluding London. Marks relating to framing, restoration and picture dealing are not treated here. Part 14, devoted to restorers, includes the canvas stamps of R.W. King (Yarmouth and Norwich) and J.R. Taylor (Manchester). Several of the suppliers bought in materials from larger companies and applied their own label or stamp, often quite small. Examples include Keet (on a Roberson support), Mason (Ackermann & Co and Roberson & Miller), Lanham, Norton and Whitehead (Winsor & Newton), Tovey and Whitehead (G. Rowney & Co). Measurements of marks, given where known, are approximate and may vary according to the stretching or later conservation treatment of a canvas or the trimming of a label. Links are given to institutional websites where the dimensions of works can be found. For individual suppliers, see the database, British artists' suppliers, 1650-1950. Square brackets are used to indicate indistinct or missing lettering in transcripts, with readings sometimes based on other examples. Compiled by Jacob Simon, January 2019, updated February 2020, and based on the pioneering work of Cathy Proudlove and the suppliers’ database created by Jacob Simon. With thanks to Dr Joyce Townsend for providing information on paintings in Tate.

Rosemary Boucher, Bob’s widow, commented, “Through the pages of this magazine I would like to thank all those who have contributed to this scholarship fund in memory of Bob. It means a great deal to my children and me that he was remembered by so many people. We hope that the scholarships will help the next generation of Sheffield students to get the most out of a university which Bob loved.” Professor Bob Boucher’s association with Sheffield spanned nearly 40 years. During his time as Vice- Chancellor, he was instrumental in some of the University’s biggest successes. He spearheaded a range of innovative schemes designed to boost the regional economy, such as the Sheffield Bioincubator, the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre with Professor Bob Boucher CBE, FREng. Boeing and the Rolls-Royce Factory of the Future. And the University’s estate was transformed under his leadership, including the stunning £23 million library and IT centre, the Information Commons, and the £160 million student residences at Endcliffe and Ranmoor.
