A/03/49 W. Howard Robinson: Collection A/03/49 W. Howard Robinson: Collection Lewisham Local History and Archives Centre Lewisham Library, 199-201 Lewisham High Street, London SE13 6LG The following items were received from Mrs Gillian Lindsay: Introduction W. (William) Howard Robinson was a noted representative artist and portrait painter of the early twentieth century. He was born on 3 November 1864 in Inverness-shire and attended Dulwich College from 1876 to 1882. He followed his father, William Robinson, into the Law and after a brief legal career studied Art at the Slade School under Sir Simeon Solomon. His professional career as a portrait painter began circa 1910 when his interest in the sport of fencing led him to sketch all the leading fencers of the day, these sketches were reproduced in the sporting publication “The Field” leading to further commissions for portraits with a sporting theme. He became well-known for his sketches and portraits of figures in the sporting world such as Lord Lonsdale, Chairman of the National Sporting Club. His two best known paintings were “An Evening at the National Sporting Club” (1918) and “A Welsh Victory at the National Sporting Club” (1922). This first painting was of the boxing match between Jim Driscoll and Joe Bowker, it took Robinson four years to complete and contained details of 329 sporting celebrities. The second painting commemorated the historic boxing match between Jimmy Wilde and Joe Lynch that took place on 31 March 1919 and shows the Prince of Wales entering the ring to congratulate the victor, the first time that a member of the royal family had done so. W. Howard Robinson also worked extensively for the society magazine “The Bystander” (which amalgamated with “The Tatler”) and produced sketches on a weekly basis of debutantes and society figures. He was commissioned to paint many leading figures of the time including politicians and members of the Royal Family including King George V, the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII), the Duke of York (later King George VI) and Marina, Duchess of Kent. In 1927 he founded the British Empire Academy with his patron, Lord Howard de Walden, and became its Vice-chairman. Its mission was to “To promote, aid and unite all the Arts throughout the Empire”.

In the 1986 British Boxing Yearbook, Lee is credited with 60 contests. I have been unable to trace twelve of these and as I am uncertain as to the original source they have not been included in this record. Lee was the uncle of George McKenzie, who also held the British featherweight title. Lee was a noted puncher who won the first of his titles when well into his thirties.

  • Jimmy Wilde Fort Wayne Sentinel 22 November 1919 the English
    Jimmy Wilde Fort Wayne Sentinel 22 November 1919 The English invasion of America is on. If any one doesn't take it seriously just let him talk to any Englishman about Jimmy Wilde, who is conducting the invasion. He'll get an earful. There are Englishmen who think James can lick Jack Dempsey. And there isn't an Englishman living who believes for a moment that any American, Frenchman, Australian, Swede, Dane or Chink within ten pounds- of Wilde's weight has any right to go into a ring with him unless insured against sudden death. That's what they think of Wilde in England. The English invasion of America is on.

That's what they think of Wilde in England. This Jimmy Wilde boy is reckoned the greatest fighter turned out in England since Figg threw away his club and invented the gentle are of tapping a gent on the lower maxillary with a right hook. There have been fighters in England now and then, but no Jimmy Wildes. Last fall I was talking with an American bantamweight who went over and tried to get a reputation by flattening Wilde, who was somewhat prominent.
