I visited Heade's flat in Queens Mansions about 20 years ago when I was researching Heade for the slim volume published in the USA by Books Are Everything. I would very much like to get in touch with Mike Lewis and Peter Bridger. Any pictures of Heade are very rare, and I would love to see photos taken in his studio and unpublished work. Thanks.

What with the credit crunch and all I am thinking of selling these and would be greatful for your thoughts on value and where to sell etc. Thanks in advance Peter Bridger Hi I have the original Heade artwork for “This dame dies soon” and “Sadie don’t cry now”, given to me by an artist friend who was a contemporary of Heade’s.

I think it is the chap with the top hat and moustache. I am also trying to locate a photo we had of reg, standing in his flat, in a white work coat, and in the background was a massive forest scene he had painted, to cover the top halfmoon window area of the front window. This picture must have been taken down and given to my grandmother, and it ended up on the wall in our hallway. We moved from the flat in the early 70's and it was still on the wall. The other thing I remember was that reg was doing a drawing when he died, and it was the top half of a young man, dressed in an elisabeathen type costume. Mum has got 2 books of his that have costumes of the world, which he used to copy for his african drawings on some of his book covers. There were 2 other books called shipping wonders of the world, which were used in the photos of dad when he did the john l sullivan cover, to rest his left arm on. There was a tube of cardboard on top of this, to represent the ropes of the boxing ring . will keep you posted if I remember any thig else .

It really is important that information and anecdotal evidence be preserved as so much is simply lost. So many great artists and writers drift into obscurity and anonimity. I find it time and time again when trying to research dust jacket artists, although with Heade this is not the case, no information at all about them or their lives. Thanks again for taking the time Mike Very much appreciated All the best Rod Mike

He used to come down to us on his travels and every xmas. My dad did some modeling for him,he was the body of boxerJohn L Sullivan on the cover of Panther book 629 he was also the second with the towel, and the chap with his elbows on the ring is also my dad. I have the original photos of that picture which was done at reg's flat. Reg also did a fine charcoal portrait of dad when he had just left the army. I also have 36 of reg's pencil drawings for treasure island, and the printers first copy with the actual finished product.alas I have only one water colour of Mary queen of scots, playing bowls, with reg's comments on the borders in pencil and it was signed and dated 1941- cheers mike hi Rod nice to see Reg’s work is appreciated today.We knew Reg back in the early 50’s
