Lost Allcocks Artwork

A lost piece of original artwork painted in watercolour at some point after the last war by the commercial artist L.W. Mitchell, discovered after his death amongst his portfolio and sold today at auction.  The auctioneer told me that after a bit of research it appeared that the work was never commissioned by Allcocks. Unfortunately, it was lost again today, at least to me as I bailed out as underbidder at £200.
