This report documents another successful year in which it has secured some quite remarkable cultural items for the nation, ranging from Old Master paintings through historic personal papers to a collection of boats. How to fund the development of our collections has become the subject of an increasingly intense debate. The background is well known – that most public museums lack sufficient funding to pursue active acquisition strategies. There is no reason to hope that government can invest more in this area at a time of constraints on spending. In his introduction to this report Jonathan Scott, Chairman of the AIL Panel, argues for the extension of the AIL Scheme, which is based on tax relief on death duties, so that donors can take advantage of it during their lifetimes. The Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA), which manages the AIL scheme, agrees and believes an overhaul of the tax framework around philanthropic giving is long overdue. We will work with a broad range of cultural institutions and organisations to present new arguments for the introduction of the kind of incentives which have proved successful in many other countries. We believe the climate is right for this debate and we see growing support for it across the political spectrum. We also see increasing awareness of how the AIL Scheme operates as a highly efficient mechanism for assessing offers and processing acquisitions. Speaking in the House of Commons, the Minister for Culture, David Lammy, recently described the AIL Scheme as, “in almost every way the holy grail of public policy. Absolutely everybody is a winner under the Scheme. Owners of pre-eminent works of art and artefacts have their inheritance tax demands discounted when they offer their works in lieu of cash to settle the bill. The work of art in question is then saved for the nation, with public access guaranteed for ever, and the museum to which it is allocated gains a fine work for its collection at no cost to its ever- stretched budget.” In the last decade the AIL Scheme has acquired collections and items to a value in excess of £250m. Its remarkable success is thanks in no small part to the work of the AIL Panel under Jonathan’s expert chairmanship and the contribution of the experts and advisers who help the Panel arrive at its recommendations. Further credit must go to Gerry McQuillan, who manages the AIL Scheme within MLA, and his team. Both Gerry and Jonathan enjoy enormous respect across the arts and cultural sectors and have turned the AIL Scheme into the success it is today. One of the wonders of the AIL Scheme is the tremendous range of things it has helped to acquire and then place in appropriate museums, 94801 4/7/07 12:39 Page 4 4 galleries, libraries or archives. This report will astonish you with the sheer diversity of cultural items it encompasses. The Scheme is indeed something to celebrate. I encourage you to read this report and enjoy the fascinating information that will, I hope, lead you to visit the museums and archives which have benefited from AIL during the year. Mark Wood Chairman MLA 94801 4/7/07 12:39 Page 5 1 Introduction The Acceptance in Lieu (AIL) Scheme has operated satisfactorily during 5 the year ended March 2007. Thirty-two cases were completed, as a result of which objects with a value of £25.3m were accepted on behalf of the nation and tax of £13.8m was written off. The figures for recent years are as follows: Year to Number Value of objects Tax 31 March of cases accepted settled 2001 23 £24.6m £16.0m 2002 27 £35.1m £26.6m 2003 37 £39.9m £15.8m 2004 23 £21.7m £15.0m 2005 28 £13.0m £8.9m 2006 38 £25.2m £13.2m 2007 32 £25.3m £13.8m The success of the Scheme is not, however, to be judged by bare figures, although the value of objects acquired is many times the combined purchase grants of all our national museums and galleries and is greater than the total annual grants for museum and gallery acquisitions made by the National Heritage Memorial Fund and The Art Fund. The success is demonstrated by the variety of beautiful and historically important objects acquired for the nation by their widespread distribution across the British Isles and by the impact of individual transactions on local regions. Although no single item was as important as the Cimabue or the Titian accepted in previous years, acquisitions in 2006–2007 included attractive paintings by Reynolds and Gainsborough, a magnificent view of Rome by Panini, a rare early work by Francis Bacon, a princely silver plateau by de Lamerie, a massive silver brooch from Viking Ireland, the seat furniture for the Gallery at Corsham Court and a collection of boats on Lake Windermere. Archives acquired include the papers of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir William Harcourt, who introduced Death Duties in 1894 and who was thus, in a sense, the godfather of the Acceptance in Lieu Scheme. These acquisitions have been widely allocated across the United Kingdom to museums and galleries in Belfast, Bristol, Cambridge, Cheltenham, Leeds, Manchester, Plymouth, Southampton, Sudbury, Swansea and Lake Windermere, as well as to national institutions in London and to a number of libraries and record offices. Two cases demonstrate the beneficial impact of the Scheme on local regions. 94801 4/7/07 12:39 Page 6 6 A series of portraits of the family of Lord St Germans from Port Eliot has been accepted in lieu. The paintings are of great local interest because of the influence of the Eliot family in Cornwall over the centuries, but they are also of national art historical importance because Sir Joshua Reynolds was born only a few miles away. The Eliots provided the great artist with some of his early commissions and continued to patronise him throughout his career. The paintings have been accepted in lieu in situ and have been allocated to Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery which has entered into a loan agreement with the Trustees of the family, thus enabling the portraits to remain at Port Eliot.

THE CENTRAL AFRICAN EXAMINER, 1957-19651 ANTHONY KING2 St Antony's College, Oxford, UK Abstract The Central African Examiner is a well known source for the study of Zimbabwean history in the seminal period 1957-1965, although the story of its foundation and the backroom manoeuvrings which dogged its short life are relatively unknown. Its inception was the result of industry attempting to push the Federal Government into implementing partnership in a practical way. Up to 1960, the Examiner's internal politics mirrored this conflict, and it was during this time that the Examiner's position as a critical supporter of Government policy was at its most ambiguous. After 1960, the Examiner became a more forthright Government critic — indeed by 1964, it was the only medium left for the expression of nationalist opinion. INTRODUCTION IN THE WAKE of the Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) in Rhodesia on 11 November 1965, censorship was imposed on the press. Most newspapers and magazines appeared with a number of blank spaces which would have been filled with articles had they not fallen foul of the censors. One magazine had so much of its content for the December 1965 issue banned that it resorted to making it a 'Do-It-Yourself edition, urging readers to fill in the blanks themselves.

  • European Influences in the Fine Arts: Melbourne 1940-1960
    INTERSECTING CULTURES European Influences in the Fine Arts: Melbourne 1940-1960 Sheridan Palmer Bull Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree ofDoctor ofPhilosophy December 2004 School of Art History, Cinema, Classics and Archaeology and The Australian Centre The University ofMelbourne Produced on acid-free paper. Abstract The development of modern European scholarship and art, more marked.in Austria and Germany, had produced by the early part of the twentieth century challenging innovations in art and the principles of art historical scholarship. Art history, in its quest to explicate the connections between art and mind, time and place, became a discipline that combined or connected various fields of enquiry to other historical moments. Hitler's accession to power in 1933 resulted in a major diaspora of Europeans, mostly German Jews, and one of the most critical dispersions of intellectuals ever recorded. Their relocation to many western countries, including Australia, resulted in major intellectual and cultural developments within those societies. By investigating selected case studies, this research illuminates the important contributions made by these individuals to the academic and cultural studies in Melbourne. Dr Ursula Hoff, a German art scholar, exiled from Hamburg, arrived in Melbourne via London in December 1939. After a brief period as a secretary at the Women's College at the University of Melbourne, she became the first qualified art historian to work within an Australian state gallery as well as one of the foundation lecturers at the School of Fine Arts at the University of Melbourne. While her legacy at the National Gallery of Victoria rests mostly on an internationally recognised Department of Prints and Drawings, her concern and dedication extended to the Gallery as a whole.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.
