...great and the small; And I plainly perceive you will not be at rest, Till you've conquered all lands, both East and West. So Egypt is yours; your ambition then ranges, And bears you away to the Tigris and Ganges. But when crown'd with success, and with glory you tire us, What's left to be done when return'd to Epirus...

At twelve he entered the Birmingham School of Art, was soon hailed as "a young Botticelli," won prize after prize there and at the Royal Academy Schools in London. A smooth success from his first one-man show in 1915, Limner Brockhurst charges up to ?2,000 for a full-length portrait, limits his commissions to ?20,000 a year.
