Codename TREASURE: the life of D-Day spy Lily Sergueiew. Pen & Sword, 20 July 2023. isbn 978-1-39904-527-8. Jacket.
This book inspired a YouTube video.

Codename TREASURE was favourably reviewed by Marissa Moss in the New York Journal of Books. It closes with: "Winnington has done an impressive amount of research and uses Lily's own writing to vivid effect. The book includes many of her paintings and drawings, as well as photographs of her. Though military historians are probably the primary audience for this book, anyone interested in women's history and tales of derring-do will also find much to savor in these pages. Readers may come to this book for the war history, but they'll come away feeling they've met a truly incredible woman, one whose work as a spy wasn't even her most daring."

 


Books co-authored

Mervyn Peake: the man and his art. London: Peter Owen, 2006. With contributions, which I edited, from half-a-dozen other people. isbn 07206-1284-5.
The editor of the journal of the American Librarians Association, Booklist, gave this book a starred review (meaning that its purchase was recommended). After praising the ‘seven technically revelatory biocritical chapters by Winnington,’ he concluded: ‘As rewarding to the intellect as to the eye, this is a magnificent book.’ It was one of five titles shortlisted for the Locus ‘Best Art Book’ Award in 2008.

Articles in periodicals

 

NB This listing does not include my juvenile writing, starting with the school magazine, much of which I have in any case forgotten, nor my unsigned contributions (editorial views, news, reviews, description of new and forthcoming publications, etc.) to periodicals that I have edited.

The Manchester Guardian accepted three articles about Hungary at the end of 1964 (and paid me 30 guineas for them), but I never saw them in print, so I think my first published article was:

Translations

 

My first published translation was

Welcome to Lausanne by Jean Hugli, a 40-page brochure for tourists published by the Service des intérêts de la ville de Lausanne in March 1968.

Twenty-two years later, I translated the ‘Studio Notes’ for a handsome art book, Autoportrait [Self-portrait] by the Swiss sculptor Gaspard Delachaux, published by Skira in 1990. Another text for him, the foreword to an exhibition catalogue, can be found here.

During the intervening years I was supervising the assistants teaching translation at the University of Lausanne, and I did a good deal of translating to keep my hand in, mostly into English but occasionally into French. Among other things, there were:
patents for all kinds of inventions, such as ice-cream making machines; cheese and other food processing machines; reversible cells; rollerblades and rinks; safety equipment; hydraulic presses; sorting devices; railway-line truing equipment, and new plant varieties;
technical handouts, instruction manuals, press releases, and publicity for machines to cut out, fold and blind stamp cardboard, for printing and control of register, and for photo-typesetting, including articles on typography and new fonts; and
 articles in the field of psychology, particularly child development, role playing, neuropsychology, and vocational counselling.

I have just located one of the latter, translator not identified:

P.-B. Schneider, Role-playing as an Instrument for Teaching and for Research into the Doctor/Patient Relationship. Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics, 1970, Vol.18(1-6), pp.90-99.

I didn’t keep a list of them, but here’s a couple of favourites:

In the late 1970s, Bobst Graphic (later Autologic) marketed a laptop for journalists called the Scrib. It was quite a challenge to put the documentation into English, since the concept of a laptop did not exist at the time – there were just a few ‘micro-computers’ and this was the first portable (or rather luggable, as they used to say) – and the terminology in English was not easy to come by. It was my introduction to the accoustic coupler (which evolved into the modem, then the router), for instance.

Another piece of advanced technology was a kiosk-based electronic guide to the university campus at Lausanne, the Cybcerone. On the basis of the description I translated, it was awarded the first Java Cup (overall winner) at the Java One Conference in San Francisco in 1996.

 

Photographs

 

My first published photographs were in The Laxtonian (1962–3). Others have appeared on the covers of books and in various newspapers and periodicals. (The Getty Image Collection has some of them and they may be reproduced in publications of all kinds around the world.) A couple of pictures appeared in the Feuille d’Avis de Lausanne (Switzerland) on 28 July 1964 after a sudden storm on the lake caused a sailing boat to capsize and sink. There were others in the 1960s that I have quite lost trace of. Here are more recent ones:

A selection of my photographs, old and new, can be found on the 500px.com site. Three of them are also included in the Getty Image Collection.

Exhibition

In 1998, I had a one-man show in Lausanne, titled La Lumière transmise. The title derived from the fact that all the shots (mainly of trees and leaves) were taken en contre-jour, so the light was transmitted through the vegetation rather than reflected off it. You can see an advertisement for it here, at the foot of the page.
