Dennis Colbron Pearse - Lowing his Bayonet A Boy in the Peninsular War

Lowing his Bayonet (He) Demanded Who I Was. (A Boy in the Peninsular War)

Dennis Colbron Pearse, an English/Australian artist, illustrator and arts administrator created this original pen and ink drawing before moving to Hobart, Tasmania in 1922. In 1923 "Lowering his Bayonet (He) Demanded Who I Was " an illustration for (A Boy in the Peninsular War) entered the New York City Collection of Paul F. Franco. Franco built an extensive collection of art, ephemera and manuscripts dealing with Napoleon and the Napoleonic Wars. His seal and acquisition date are on the verso of this original Dennis Pearse drawing.

Dennis Colbron Pearse has written the title of this original drawing along the lower margin. It was created for an illustrated edition of "A Boy in the Peninsular War", and this title appears in the upper margin of the drawing. "A Boy in the Peninsular War" is the autobiography of Robert Blakeney (1789-1858), who served as a subaltern in the 28th Regiment of the army of Great Britain in the Peninsular War (1807-1814).

In 1908 he established the 1st Hampstead Troop of Boy Scouts in North East London. Dennis Pearse quickly came to the attention of the founder of the Boy Scouts, Baden Powell and, in 1911, he was awarded the 'Silver Wolf'. He was the second adult to receive this honour, after Baden Powell.

Several years later he became the Acting Director there and held this position until his retirement in 1953.
