• Lot Description
  Brian Sanders (British, B. 1937) "Boys' Brigade" Watercolor on Paper.
  
  Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
  
  This artwork originally appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the Great Britain Boys Brigade stamp issued March 24, 1982. In October 1883 William Alexander Smith laid the foundation for what is now the oldest uniformed voluntary boys' organization in the world ... the Boys' Brigade. From the outset, the Boys' Brigade was a church based organization. Its aim was to take thousands of unsupervised boys off the street corners of Glasgow and help them become followers of the Christian faith through self-control, reverence and a sense of responsibility. This new idea soon became the forerunner of all the uniformed youth organizations to follow. When the success of the first Brigade Company was evident other churches in Glasgow quickly took up the idea, and thereafter the organization spread rapidly among all denominations. In November 1885 the Boys' Brigade spread to London where the first British Companies were started, followed soon by Companies in Wales and Ireland. By 1893 the total membership of the Boys' Brigade had surpassed twenty-six thousand boys. One of the greatest innovations of the Boys' Brigade is camping. Very few boys or families had enjoyed the delights of camping outdoors until the Brigade began the tradition in 1886. From the first Brigade Company of fifty boys long ago in 1883, the Boys' Brigade has grown to include a total membership of 184,000 in the United Kingdom and over 400,000 in other countries.
