The life of the man behd the t is explored a new book, Gayer Anrson: The Life and Afterlife of the Irish Pasha, by Louise Foxcroft. The future Major Robert Grenville Gayer-Anrson Pasha was born alongsi an intil tw—wh whom he had a mystil nnectn throughout his life—at Listowel, County Kerry on July 29th, 1881. That this love of bety should bee fixed prcipally on objects, however, may well be attributable to what Gayer-Anrson scribed as the “cid stra of sadism” exhibed by his father.

As a rult, Gayer-Anrson learned to mouflage his feelgs beneath the imperable armor of rualistic behavr and excsive orrls, and, even durg his school years, he beme creasgly obssed exclively by the power of bety and the acquisn of betiful thgs.

Increasgly, Gayer-Anrson sought to live “à la mo orientale”, drsg—wh the nf of his own apartment ially— fe Arab cloth and jewelry.

When Fuad beme kg followg Egyptian Inpennce 1922, Gayer-Anrson acpanied him on a royal tour of the provc, but he retired om the Egyptian Government 1923, at the age of forty-two, to “mune wh bety”, ncentrate on his antiqu bs, and wre articl on artistic and archaeologil subjects for magaz. The sourc of some of the objects were qutnable, however, perhaps none more so than that associated wh the villao “old iend” om Saqqara who arrived at Gayer-Anrson’s flat one day October 1934 wh a large bundle wrapped cloth.
