FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE LATE LORD MATTHEWS The following pictures come from the collection of the late Baron Matthews, who was elevated to the peerage in 1980. Victor Matthews (1919-1995) was chief executive officer of Trafalgar House plc., which owned both the Cunard Steam Ship Company and the Ritz Hotel in London. He later became chairman of Fleet Publishing International Holdings which owned the Express group of newspapers. One of his greatest enthusiasms was the turf, as the following pictures testify. He also owned a notable group of Victorian pictures, which will be offered in the sale of Victorian & British Impressionist Art at King Street on 11 July 2013. The group includes Millais's Sisters, a masterpiece depicting the artist's three daughters, which will be offered with an estimate of £2,000,000-3,000,000.
