Lot Essay

Fulmer in Buckinghamshire is situated not far from Chalfont St Peter, where Nash moved his studio in 1918. John and Christine Nash, newly married had settled there and helped Paul and Margaret find a room in the village. However, they were forced to leave shortly after the end of the First World War, probably because Nash's life had been threatened by the husband of a woman whom Nash had either propositioned or seduced.
