120	Richard Redgrave RA (1804-1889)Richard Redgrave RA (1804-1889) Richard Redgrave studied engraving in his father’s offices on Buckingham Palace Road. Frequent journeys on the outskirts of London gave him a love of the outdoors and a habit of sketching from nature. He also made careful studies of the Elgin Marbles. He decided to become a painter, exhibiting at the Royal Academy from 1825, and entering the Royal Academy Schools from 1826, supporting himself by teaching. His early years as an artist were difficult ones, until in 1837 he exhibited Gulliver on the Farmer’s Table, which brought him to the attention of a wide audience by engravings. The Seamstress (1844) - showing a girl working late at night in her horrible bedsit - was also very popular. With paintings like this Redgrave became known for scenes of contemporary social life, and one of the first to use contemporary clothing in pictures (e.g. The Poor Teacher (1843) anticipating the fallen women of the Pre-Raphaelites in the 1850s and 1860s. Redgrave also preceded the other painters who became well known for pictures of poverty - Hubert von Herkomer, Frank Holl and Luke Fildes. Redgrave painted several pictures showing girls with a Pre-Raphaelite look, indoors or outside, and also rustic outdoor scenes and flower illustrations (in the 1840s). He designed some book illustrations, but these were sentimental and not of great merit. He was elected ARA in 1840 and RA in 1851, his diploma work being The Outcast, a rather histrionic expulsion of a daughter with illegitimate baby while her family weep and wail. Redgrave was important in the organisation of the Government School of Design, established in 1847, and held several posts at the institution, in particular Art Superintendent in the Department of Practical Art (1852), in which capacity he largely organised the English system of art education. In 1857 he became Inspector General of Art and Surveyor of the Royal Collections. He catalogued the 1862 International Exhibition, and subsequently wrote A Century of Painters of the English School. He also helped in the organisation of the South Kensington Museum. From 1825 until 1880, when ill-health forced him to resign from most of his official appointments, Redgrave contributed some 175 pictures to the Royal Academy exhibitions. Several of Redgrave's pictures are in the Sheepshanks Collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum, including Gulliver on the Farmer’s Table, Ophelia wearing her Garlands (1842), The Thames from Millbank, Cinderella and most importantly, The Poor Teacher. As well, also in the Henry Cole Wing is Redgrave's mosaic of Donatello (1867). In the National Portrait Gallery is his self portrait. Another version of The Poor Teacher is in the Shipley Art Gallery, Gateshead, and an Interior of a Wood is in the Cecil Higgins Art Gallery, Bedford. In the Birmingham gallery is The Valleys Also Stand Thick with Corn (1864).	Richard REDGRAVE

126	HName: Redgrave, Samuel DateBorn: 1802 Placeborn: Pimlico (London), United Kingdom Datedied: 1876 Placedied: Kensington (London), United Kingdom HDescrip: Bureaucrat who wrote art history reference works in retirement. Redgrave was the son of William Redgrave (1775–1845), a manufacturer, and Mary Redgrave (d.1814?). He attended school in Chelsea were he studied art and did architectural drawing under John Powell. Redgrave joined the Home Office as a clerk in 1818 at the age of fifteen, where he spent his entire professional life. Concomitantly, Redgrave began studying architecture. He entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1833. During those years he was a founding member of the Etching Club (1837), which he held for life, and after 1842, its secretary. In 1838 he was appointed assistant secretary to the colonial secretary, Lord John Russell. These led to various important civil service positions under Fox Maule and Henry Fitzroy. He married Amelia Ann Sarah Orlebar, in 1839. After completion of his architectural studies in 1843, he served in the Society of Arts. As part of his professional duties, he wrote, Murray's Handbook of Church and State (1852). Redgrave retired from the civil service in 1860, and alone (his wife had died in 1845 and his only daughters died 1856 and 1859) began his second career as an art historian. He organized exhibitions for the South Kensington Museum (later Victoria and Albert Museum) as well as the Royal Academy of Arts. In 1862 he worked on the international exhibitions in London. In 1866, Regrave and his brother, Richard (1804-1888), published the first edition of his A Century of Painters of the English School, a landmark book for British painting. It remained in print, re-edited, until 1981. Redgrave again participated in the 1867 international exhibition in Paris. In 1874, he brought out his Dictionary of artists of the English school, a work lasting in revisions until 1970. He was working on his Descriptive Catalogue of the Historical Collection of British Paintings in Water-colours in the South Kensington Museum, at the time of his death. It appeared posthumously the following year in 1877. Redgrave is buried in the cemetery of Holy Trinity (Brompton) London. His brother, Richard, was a painter and early art-education reformer. Regrave's art histories are primarily biographical. His style was immediately accessible to an art-learning British public and yet authoritative. His Descriptive catalogue of the historical collection of British paintings. . . in the South Kensington Museum outlined the history of the British watercolor in its preface. His books were standards of English art history reference for generations. HCountry: United Kingdom HBiography: Heleniak, Kathryn Moore. "Redgrave, Samuel (1802-1876)."

136	This Thomas Redgrave would be the Great, Great Grandfather of Benjamin Redgrave. Benjamin Redgrave repeated the story that his Great, Great, Grandfather (Thomas) was at some point married to the Countess of Paris but had died in Greece, thereby leaving no documentation. This supposedly prevented a claim to a Fortune in France. Given that this Thomas died in the poor house, this story has has little support.	Thomas REDGRAVE

144	Arthur Richard Henry Redgrove was born in Kilburn, London, England on Valentine's Day, a Saturday, in 1874. The family were living at 2 Chichester Road in Kilburn. His birth was not registered until the 26th of March. Within three years his mother would be dead. In the spring of 1876, she gave birth to a girl, Edith Mary E, who did not live past the summer. Elizabeth herself died in the fourth quarter of 1877. In April of 1881, Arthur was living with his grandfather, Richard Longman Redgrove, 58, a bootmaker, in Basingstoke, Hampshire. Also in the household were his grandmother, Ellen, a 56-year-old housekeeper, and two aunts, Emily, 21, and Sophia, 23, both domestics. On the 14th of December, 1890, he joined The Royal Fusiliers at Hounslow. He served in England until 15 December, 1892, when he left for the East Indies. He served in East India from Dec, 1892 until 7 Dec, 1901. On the 25th of October, 1894, he was appointed Lance Corporal. On the 15th of March, 1900, he was promoted to corporal. He re-engaged for the Royal Fusiliers at Mandalay, Burma, on January 26th, 1901. As of the 19th of June, 1900, he was qualified for promotion to the rank of sergeant. He served in Burma from 8 Dec, 1901 until 26 Feb, 1902. He served back in England again from 27 Feb, 1902 until he was discharged the 16th of September, 1902 at Woolwich. His address at that time was given as 1 Mall Road, King Street, Hammersmith. On discharge, his height was noted as 5 ft 91/2 inches; his complexion was "fresh;" his eyes were brown; his hair was brown. He had no descriptive marks. He was discharged "in consequence of having been found medically unfit for further service." No elaboration is given. His trade is listed as clerk. Under "special qualifications for employment in civil life," is written: "Has been employed for a long period as a clerk. He held no medals nor decorations, but a first class certificate of education. It is not yet known what he did in the few years following his discharge from the Fusiliers. According to his grandson, Gerald Arthur Redgrove, he may have spent time with the Tower Guards, but this has not been confirmed. According to his Canadian Department of Soldiers Civil Re-Establishment documents (DSCR), he arrived in Canada in 1908, and worked with various employers and for himself as a carpenter until 1915. He estimated his average monthly salary at that time as $125. An Arthur RP Redgrar left London bound for New York on the Minnewaska on 28 May 1909. (PRO BT27). The transcription seems to be in error. It is not clear that the 'P' is a 'P'. There is a character after the 'v' and it is likely an 'e'. This was the maiden voyage of the Minnewaska (the third Minnewaska of the Atlantic Transport Steamship Lines). In Calgary, on Monday, the 28th of March 1910, he married Florence Smith, a young and very religious English girl. Later that year, their first son, John Albert Stanley was born. The following year, Arthur Charles was born. In 1913, Walter Richard was born. In 1914, the family were living at 5424 2nd Street, Manchester, in Calgary. In 1915, Claire Marion was born. The family were then living at 1221 16th Avenue West, Manchester in Calgary. On Monday the 26th of April, 1915, he enlisted with the 56th Canadian Expeditionary Force. On enlistment, his height was measured as 5ft 9 ins; his complexion was dark; his eyes were hazel; his hair was dark grey. His religion was given as Church of England. According to his DSCR documents, he was in hospital in Calgary from January 15th to March 12th of 1916 with neuritis. He is also listed as having Enteric Fever while in India in 1893, Dysentry while in India in 1896, and Rheumatism while in England in 1904. His discharge papers note a G.S.W on his left ankle, obtained while in South Africa in 1899. His British records contradict this. Also, his medical examination on enlistment does not mention this scar. He was discharged the tenth of March, 1919 at the rank of Regimental Sergeant Major by reason of demobilization. On September 5, 1919, the family were living at 982 1st Avenue Sunnyside, NW Calgary (DSCR). According to his death certificate, he moved to British Columbia in 1923. In 1927, he was living at 620 E 14th in North Vancouver. From 1931 to 1934 and again in 1936, he was listed as living at 15, 116 E 1st in North Vancouver; his occupation was caretaker. In 1941 and 1942 he was listed as a caretaker of the ANAVETS at E 3rd in North Vancouver. He died on Saturday the 17th of April, 1943 at North Vancouver General Hospital. His address at that time was 1606 Lynn Valley Road, North Vancouver. His funeral was held at 11 Am on Wednesday April 21st at the Burrard Funeral Chapel at 1208 Lonsdale Avenue, and he was buried at the North Vancouver Cemetery on Lilloet Road. He last worked in December of 1942 as a caretaker of the Army and Navy Club where he had worked for the previous 10 years.	Arthur Richard Henry REDGROVE
