Editing The Stars Are Right: Cecil Becker (section)

==Cecil Becker==

A reclusive industrialist in his 60s, based in London.  He made his fortune expanding his family's business.  He is a patron of the arts, collecting a number of works from the 1870s onwards. He has mentored a number of young artists, but has never met any of them face to face -- instead acting through his agent Edmund Handley.  In the winter of 1931, he commissioned a series of sketches of Sandoy Island from archaeological illustrator [[The Stars Are Right: Henrik Mueller | Henrik Mueller]].  The reason for these has not been explained. Turns out he's not in his 60s, but he is actually an American by birth and is the brother of Colonel [[The Stars Are Right: Ryan Becker | Ryan Becker]].
