Does anyone know where this is, please? A portrait of Alexander Humboldt Sexton (my gt uncle) was bequeathed to the society in 1941 by his son (who died in Jersey) and I am curious to know what happened to it.
The portrait was by James Ramsey Russell - tried googling for him, but no results.
I wonder if the Germans kept the portrait as George Alex (the son) died during the war and, if so, is it gracing some nouveau riche German family's picture gallery under the guise of a German ancestor. Would love to know the answer.
