Hewitt's History Files

THE road to posterity has always been a rocky one... but a West Sussex artist might just have discovered it thanks to a remarkable fluke of survival.

Rats nibbled their way through an estimated 400 to 500 drawings amd watercolours by the late Steven Spurrier (1878-1961).

At current prices that's drawings and watercolours which easily could be worth 500,000.

But sufficient works were salvaged to suggest that Spurrier might just regain his place in the pulic eye after decades of neglect.
