Invalided out of the Army after World War I, Ralph Chubb studied at the Slade School of Art between 1919-1922. "During the summer of 1921, however, he returned to his home in Curridge in the Berkshire countryside where he dressed as a gypsy and . . . spent some weeks living rough, among the Romanys, whom he sketched." - Anthony Reid, Ralph Chubb, The Unknown, [The Private Library, Autumn, 1970, p. 152].

The second volume contains the sonnets in which Clare's miniaturist art begins to mature as well as a glossary Taylor compiled from information provided by the author."
