To repeatedly search the page, press 'ALT S' again & again as many times as may be required. But beware, once it reaches the bottom of the page, it starts all over again at the top. And here are two illustrations that appeared in a Boy's Own Paper, the first in the 1905/06 Annual & the second perhaps in 1899 but it could be 2001. Re both images, there could very well be related articles. HEROES OF OUR COAST - THE LIFEBOATMAN (1905?) I found the item listed for sale on e-Bay in May 2003, described as being 11" by 8" in size, a full page of the issue, with text of course on the reverse. It sold for GBP 4.99. The title shows as being 'Heroes of our Coast -The Lifeboatman.', (Drawn for the "Boy's Own Paper" by Thomas M. Hemy). I know nothing else about it except that it was described as being c 1905. But I now know from a later listing that it appears in the 1905/06 Annual (Volume 28). The 2003 e-Bay image was not perfectly vertical, but when I tried to straighten it, I lost too much detail. So the image below is not quite all of the actual work due to some modest edge cropping.
A GOOD CATCH (1899?) And here is an illustration that appeared in a Boy's Own Paper, in 1899. As for the above image, if anybody could advise me as to which particular issue it appeared in, I sure would like to know. And if there is, just possibly, a related article. I found the item listed for sale on e-Bay in Jun. 2003, in fact by the very same vendor as the image above, described as being 11" by 8" in size with text on the reverse. A full page of the issue, clearly. The title shows as being 'A Good Catch.', (Drawn for the "Boy's Own Paper" by Thomas M. Hemy).
I indicated above that the dating of this print is in some doubt. Why? In Oct. 2005, a full page print of the work sold on e-Bay for U.S. $7.50. It is stated to be from a 2001 issue of Boy's Own Paper, presumably from an Annual since the page number is high - No. 233. Could 2001 mean 1901? I trust it is in order to use the image on this informational & non-profit site.
More about the above works if I find out any more! Thomas M. M. Hemy datapages
