		Under the pseudonym Michael Innes, Stewart wrote a series of forty crime novels over a fifty year period, and was Jury Professor of English at the University of Adelaide.  The letter, possibly to his editor, summarizes the plot of a story he is writing, having to do with stolen works of art from war torn Europe ending up in the hands of wealthy American collectors, tentatively titled 'From London Far'.  8x10", one page signed typed letter on University of Adelaide letterhead.

	<![CDATA[ 
		A lovely mezzotint engraved portrait of the Queen (1792 - 1849), dressed in widow's garb, following the death of her husband King William IV of England.  The capital city of the Australian state of South Australia was named in honor of the Queen when it was founded in 1836.  South Australia  was formed under the Act for the Colonization of South Australia of 1834, and was intended to be a haven of civil and religious liberties.  The portrait of the Queen is a charming one; she gazes steadily out, her hair in braids, with a black lace veil over her head and around her shoulders.  Engraved by Henry Thomas Ryall (1811 - 1867) engraver to Queen Victoria, and based on the painting by William Charles Ross (1794 - 1860).  13 1/2 x 17 1/2".  Image printed and laid on to thicker paper; with very slt toning to thicker paper at outer edges, o/w very good.

		This watercolor appears to be based on one executed by William Light, one of the founding fathers of Adelaide, and the person who single-handedly situated & designed the city.      "Light's original watercolor of this painting was exhibited in Adelaide in 1848 'but has since disappeared. In fact at the Jubilee Exhibition in 1886 a copy of it was displayed. It may have been the one painted by Walter Stevenson in London in 1870.'   (Elder, David.  "The Art of William Light", 1987, p. 102).   Elder concludes,  "The original watercolor was perhaps the one he referred to in his diary on 20 March 1839, 'Finished the Rapid sailing up Gulf St Vincent'."  There is a pencil sketch of the scene in one of Light's notebooks in the State Library of South Australia. This appears to be the painting by Walter Stevenson in London in 1870.  We purchased it many years ago in London, and noted on the verso "W. Stevenson Kensington".   The verso adds the note "Surveying Brig Rapid in Rapid Bay October 12th 1836"  and "These notes copied from back of mount which was very soiled.  S. Button 11/12/62"   The stickers used to fix the picture to the mat appear to be the borders from stamp sheets, with some printing on them.   Watercolor, on wove paper, 25 x 35 cm.  Very good condition.
