Footnotes
1) ‘[Robert Cunninghame Graham] used to ride up on his “Argentine broncho” and hitch it up to my knocker, while he sat for me – and, in intervals, gave demonstrations in the road outside of his skill in throwing the lasso.’ Jacomb-Hood 1925, p.73. In 1925 Jacomb-Hood recalled the portrait was painted in the 1890s (p.99). For a photograph of Graham ‘roping’, see above, ‘Photographs, 1920s’.
2) A startling image of the Scottish MP. PG 1468 is dated 1891 in SNPG catalogue but without clear supporting evidence. The earliest exhibition date, 1892, has been adopted as the more solid date for the bust.
3) Lavery painted Graham ‘frankly in the manner of Velasquez, full-length and life size, a harmony in brown’; Lavery 1940, p.89. According to note in NPG NoS (Graham), the sitter thought this was one of the best paintings of him.
4) ‘I doubt if there is a more beautiful etched portrait in the world than […] the Quixote-like study of Mr. Cunninghame-Graham.’ Newbolt 1907, p.12.
5) Lavery suggested that the equestrian portrait was painted c.1888; Lavery 1940, p.89. This does not agree with the date of their first meeting.
6) George Sauter (1866–1935), Bavarian portrait painter. His wife was John Galsworthy’s sister and they were part of Graham’s circle of friends.
7) Lambert 1938, p.54.
8) In 1936, after Graham’s death, the portrait was offered to the NPG by Christie, but it was declined; NPG offer 56/1936.
9) ‘a small bronze statuette about 18” long of Mr R.B. Cunninghame Graham […] seated on a horse and apparently just about to begin one of his quests. It resembled a modern Don Quixote’; Melbourne Argus, 12 Dec. 1936. See also Pearsons Magazine, Aug. 1936, p.149; and Tschiffely 1937, p.42.
10) There is a collection of photographs and other Graham memorabilia at the W.H. Hudson museum. See below, ‘Photographs’.
11) For details on this horse, acquired by Graham in 1915 (helping to date NPG x1447), see Tschiffely 1937, pp.369, 371.
12) Photograph possibly taken at the Wallace Day commemorations on formation of the Scottish National Party, 1934; see Watts & Davies 1979, p.250.
