THE JACK WEBB COLLECTION OF ANTIQUES

Photo credit: Beryl Vosburgh

Jack Webb (1923-2019) was always destined to be a collector and had developed a deep love of antiques and militaria from early childhood. With some of his first month's salary of £5 as a bank clerk in 1940 he bought his first medals. In 1942 he volunteered for the Essex Regiment and on 5 June 1944 he found himself on a troop ship preparing to take part in the D-Day landings. As the soldiers around him were ordered to remove their regimental badges Jack hurried around picking up one of each regiment. Even on the eve of the greatest military invasion of Europe he was not going to miss a chance to add to his collection. In 1948 Jack joined the 7th Middlesex Regiment and inevitably his collecting interests included medals, militaria and photographs relating to these regiments, as well as to his beloved City of London Imperial Volunteers. After the war Jack followed his dreams of becoming an antiques dealer, setting up his first shop in Hornsey before moving on to Camden Passage. During a long and successful career Jack always bought antiques that intrigued or delighted him. He never specialised and always had an eye for the unusual or exquisitely made. In the early years Jack would attend as many of the London auctions and markets as he was able and became a familiar and well-known face in the trade. He often said he had lived through the most amazing times, when someone with a keen eye and broad tastes could amass a wonderfully varied collection. Even well into his eighties Jack still made a weekly pilgrimage to Camden Passage market, certain that there would be one more beauty to add to his collection. Dominic Winter Auctioneers are delighted to be able to offer Jack's extraordinary collection of antiques, pictures and collectables across two sales on 30 July and 8 October, while his photograph collection, including 50 lots of military daguerreotypes and ambrotypes, will be offered on 18 November.

Edwards was born in Birmingham in 1923, he served during WWII with 21 Platoon “D” Company, 2nd Battalion, South Staffordshire Regiment. On 10 October 1941 the 2nd Bn became part of the newly formed 1st Airlanding Brigade as part of the 1st Airborne Division. After completing training the embarked for North Africa and became part of the Attacking Force, under American control that planned to land on Sicily on 6 July 1943. The glider towing aircraft piloted by the Americans had no experience of night flying, so the Force became widespread and as they neared Sicily the enemy opened fire, which unnerved the Americans who released the gliders prematurely over the sea. Private Edwards glider ditched into the sea and he was rescued some hours later. Of the 48 Officers and 768 men of the 2nd Bn who set out in gliders only 19 Officers and 269 returned. On 7th September 1944 the 1st Airborne took part in Operation Market Garden with the American 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions. The Americans would drop around Eidoven and secure the roads near Nijemgen and the 1st Airborne would capture the Bridge at Arnhem (64 miles behind enemy lines). Once the bridges over the Rhine were secured the ground troops would have a pathway into Germany. The 2nd Bn South Staffordshire Regiment were engaged by the enemy almost as soon as the gliders landed and had nine casualties. They regrouped and proceeded to Arnhem / Oosterbeek coming under heavy machine gun fire and grenades all the way to Arnhem. On 19 September 1944 a meeting was held at the South Staffordshire Bn Field HQ and orders were given for the South Staffords to withdraw (if they weren’t already dead). It was thought that the men were still on the bridge and orders were given to either reinforce or relieve the trapped Paratroopers at all costs. “D” Company advanced with 11th Para on their flank to give them covering fire. Edwards states “Orders were to get through, on no account be held up until we had joined 2 Para on the Bridge”, “When we came near the St. Elizabeth Hospital all hell broke loose, we were in the open and like targets in a shooting gallery. Capt Wyss ran up and down shouting ‘On On On’ like a harrier, stumbling over the dead and dying, slithering in pools of blood, until I reached partial shelter by some buildings”. The Germans shelled the houses and set fire to them so protection was continually diminished. Then German tanks appeared and they started using Anti-Aircraft Artillery to make it even worse. The 3rd and 1st Paras suffered heavy losses and had to withdraw leaving the Staffords on their own and exposed on all sides. Edwards states “Opposition was terrific now, we were subject to the heaviest shelling and mortaring imaginable, also Tanks attacked us, we had no officer left so a Sergeant, his boots squelching blood, have the order to get out and join the first organised Unit we came to”. When the Staffords pulled back they had to leave the wounded in the cellars to be taken prisoner by the Germans later. The troops were now being blown out of the ground by point blank range of 88mm fire from German Tanks. A German vehicle with loudspeaker came up “Come out you South Staffords, you are surrounded and there is no way out, come to the door with your hands up above your heads”. The South Staffords carried on, some were captured some escaped and fell back to Oosterbeek. 375 men were left of the 2nd Bn, every morning Germans put up an intense mortar barrage. At Oosterbeek the Brigade HQ had moved to a laundry building, and on 22 September it was bombed and a store of ammunition exploded. Ammunition was now practically non-existent and soldiers were using German small arms picked up from dead Germans. On 25 September another heavy Artillery barrage by the Germans and this time Tiger Tanks were used, The South Staffords were overrun and many surrendered. Orders were issued to pull back the remnants over the Rhine during the night. Boats were sent to pick them up under heavy machine gun fire and several were sunk. Some of the men stripped and tried to swim across the river but were taken prisoner. Edwards was taken prisoner in Oosterbeek towards the end of the battle and interned in Stalag Xib. Private Edwards was interviewed by Cornelius Ryan for his book A Bridge too Far (copy of the book is included in the lot).

A boundary marker is a robust marker that identifies the start of a land boundary or the change in a boundary. A system of parishes, units of ecclesiastical administration and pastoral care, evolved during the middle Anglo-Saxon period and by the end of the 12th century existed in most parts of the country. England had some 8,500 parishes from the Middle Ages, until the late 19th century. The parish was the basic territorial unit in the organisation of the country and the responsibility for local administration was gradually extended by Parliament to include, for instance, the raising of local rates and taxes. It was important for people to know what parish they lived in and where the boundaries were. Parish boundaries were historically marked by stones, and later by cast iron, sheet metal or lead plaques which were displayed at public locations, commonly on the walls of buildings, but also on boundary walls, where they were visible to every passer-by. This Parish boundary marker is believed to be that of the St Edmund and Bartholomew. (1) £300 - £500

Matthias Buchinger, the so-called ‘Little Man of Nuremberg’, was a famous dwarf just 29 inches tall, born without legs and with truncated arms which had finlike appendages for hands. However, despite such disadvantages, he travelled widely in northern Europe, performing and excelling at many occupations associated with physical dexterity. He is most famed for his remarkable abilities as a calligrapher, specialising in micrography, but he also built highly detailed models of ships in bottles, as well as drew portraits, coats of arms, landscapes and family trees, many commissioned by royalty. He played at least 6 musical instruments, some of his own invention, performing for King George I, amongst others. He also danced the hornpipe, gave magic shows, and displayed his skill as a marksman and swordsman. He is known to have been performing in Dublin in 1720, and Belfast in 1722. Buchinger lived to the ripe old age of sixty-five, surviving three wives and marrying a fourth. He was famed for the number of mistresses he kept, and apparently fathered at least 14 children by 8 women. Specimens of Buchinger’s calligraphy are rare, and we have not traced another such example of his work set into a box as here. (1) £700 - £1,000

The Atlantic Telegraph Company was a company formed in 1856 to undertake and exploit a commercial telegraph cable across the Atlantic ocean, the first such telecommunications link. The first trans atlantic telegraph cable crossed the Atlantic Ocean from Foilhommerum, Valentia Island, in western Ireland to Heart’s Content, in eastern Newfoundland. The trans atlantic cable bridged North America and Europe, and expedited communication between the two. Whereas it would normally take at least ten days to deliver a message by ship, it now took a matter of minutes by telegraph. Five attempts were made over a nine-year period in 1857, two in 1858 , 1865, and 1866 before lasting connections were finally achieved by the SS Great Eastern with the 1866 cable and the repaired 1865 cable. Additional cable s were laid between Foilhommerum and Heart’s Content in 1873, 1874, 1880 and 1894. By the end of the 19th century, British, French, German and American-owned cable s linked Europe and North America in a sophisticated web of telegraphic communications. (1) £100 - £150

Each weight had a known weight and would come in many different forms each with a symbolism of Ashanti culture, for example shields are symbols of bravery, stamina, or a glorious deed.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has one such needlework by a Mary Ann Sadler, aged 9, whose work is headed ‘Compound Division’ with a series of stitched calculations beneath (accession number 57.122.742). The sampler offered here has an additional interest as an item of social history, giving as it does details of population and national debt, clearly a subject relevant then as it is now.

284* WWII. Propaganda headscarf ‘Into Battle’, London: Jacqmar, 1940s, screen printed rayon scarf with large star design of regimental badges on a pink ground, e.g. The Royal Hussars, The Lancashire Fusiliers, 25th Dragoons, etc., bordered with repeated slogan ‘Into Battle’ printed in black on a pale blue ground, and maker’s name ‘Jacqmar’ to each edge, rolled hem, a couple of tiny holes to one corner, 91.5 x 87cm (36 x 34.5ins), together with 2 WWII cotton handkerchiefs, screen printed with cartoon illustrations by Herbert Samuel Thomas, showing various scenes and images, e.g. a parachute, a kissing couple, drinking sailors, an officer with binoculars resting on a shooting stick and blowing smoke rings, etc., all with humorous captions, both faded from laundering, each 44cm (17.25ins) square During the Second World War Jacqmar’s of Mayfair produced a number of different scarf designs with themes reflecting the state of the country at war; these are now all highly collectable, and examples are held by the Imperial War Museum and the V&A. Such scarves were morale boosters, and made for the export as well as home market. They were often bought as gifts for sweethearts, and a scarf could transform an outfit or add some glamour at a much lower cost than say a new dress, although Jacqmar was an upmarket label. Their most sought after and famous scarves of the war years were designed by Arnold Lever, and he continued his work for the company even after being called up and joining the RAF. After the war he established his own design studio, where he did work for Liberty, amongst others. Herbert Samuel Thomas (1883-1966) started out as a metal engraver, but became a highly successful illustrator and cartoonist. At the outbreak of the First World War he enlisted with the Artists’ Rifles alongside other notable illustrators such as Paul Nash. He produced cartoons for a number of periodicals, including Pick-Me-Up, The Bystander, The Graphic, Punch and London Opinion. During the Second World War he designed posters, including the series ‘Is your journey really necessary’ produced in 1942 for the Railway Executive Committee, and he also designed postcards, published cartoon books and sketched portraits. These handkerchiefs are unusual survivals of his work. (3) £150 - £200

(1)

Provenance: Bequeathed by Susan, Countess of Malmesbury to her niece Barbara, and thence by descent. French émigré artist George Pilotelle was one of the leading designers of fashion and theatrical costume in London at the end of the 19th century and into the early 20th century, his designs frequently appearing in prominent periodicals for women, such as Lady’s Pictorial and The Gentlewoman. Susan Harris (née Hamilton), Countess of Malmesbury (1854-1935), married Victorian statesman James Howard Harris, 3rd Earl of Malmesbury (18071889) in 1880. She later, in 1896, married British army officer Major-General Sir John Charles Ardagh (1840-1907). The Countess was a fellow writer, friend and correspondent of Thomas Hardy. The two saw a great deal of each other, particularly during the period between her marriages. Hardy’s marriage to Emma Gifford had become increasingly troubled, and it is telling that it was Susan with whom Hardy dined on his birthday in 1892, not his wife. Hardy’s second wife, Florence, in her biography of her husband, relates an anecdote of April 1894: “At Lady Malmesbury’s one of her green linnets escaped from its cage, and he [Hardy] caught it - reluctantly, but feeling that a green linnet at large in London would be in a worse predicament than as a prisoner.” (1) £150 - £200

Mary Grant Seacole (1805-1881), the Jamaican Nurse and Heroine of the Crimean War was born in Kingston, Jamaica. Her mother was creole and her father a Scottish soldier. Mary moved to London in 1836 and married a sick husband who died soon after they were wed. At the outbreak of the Crimean War she applied to the War Office to be allowed to nurse sick and wounded servicemen, but was not accepted by either the Government or Florence Nightingale. Undaunted, she joined with a Mr Day, and they went to the Crimea to open a restaurant which she called the “British Hotel”. Mary helped the sick and wounded at Scutari and went to Sebastopol and opened a “mess table and comfortable quarters for sick and convalescent officers”, she tended to the wounded from Balaklava. She was present at the assault on the Redan on 18 June 1855, tending to the wounded, even seeking such men on the battlefield. She returned to England and declared herself bankrupt, however in 1857 the firm was declared free of bankruptcy and some of her grateful and influential friends such as Major General Lord Rokeby, Sir William Russell and Count Gleichen started a fund for her. The row of pearls which she is wearing in this bust was left in her will to one of the daughters of Lord Gleichen. The bust was exhibited at The Black Cultural Archives in 1993. (1) £700 - £1,000

In 1923 Sir Lawrence Weaver was appointed to plan and run the British exhibits at the British Empire Exhibition and it was decided that two commemorative medals would be produced. One for the exhibitors and the other as a souvenir medal sold to the public. Ten designers were asked to submit designs and Metcalfe’s designs won. Metcalfe was asked to produce a symbol fitting of the “modern British Empire” for the “Palace of Industry” at Wembley and the result was this lion with the original large stone sculpture modelled in his Barnes, South West London.

The lot is sold with an original copy of The Antique Dealer and Collectors' Guide dated December 1946 in which an article features the cabinet with an illustration, Jack Webb writes to the editor asking for more information about the cabinet. A typed letter from the editor together with black and white photographs is also included. The article suggests that "this very attractive example is typical of the portable cabinets made during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, when panels of etched ivory were inlaid in backgrounds of ebony, tortoiseshell, or one of the fashionable Oriental woods which were just reaching European cabinet makers. The etched pictorial scenes, if read in sequence, will usually associate themselves with a story of classical mythology, but historical subjects were also portrayed", and that the "style and form indicate that this cabinet was made between 1805 and 1820. If the lines of the etching are tinted brown by the use of silver nitrate as the etching medium, this is further indication that the work belongs to the early 1800's, when the silver nitrate method of etching ivory was in full favour. Formerly the lines were black, the etching medium having been sulphuric acid." (1) £3,000 - £5,000

342* Flemish School. Massacre of the Innocents, first quarter 17th century, oil on canvas, depicting a frenzied scene of warring figures, with infants being torn from outstretched arms in the foreground, and being thrown from a large arched bridge or viaduct in the middle ground, with a vista of a classical city to the right, including a domed basilica and a monumental gateway with drawbridge, heavily darkened in places and with surface wear, including central vertical split with old restoration, several small circular piercings to the canvas, and one or two other small closed tears or marginal defects, old re-lining, mounted on a later 18th or early 19th century stretcher with hand-made nails, 117 x 171.5cm (46 x 67.5ins) Provenance: Acquired by the Bednarski family on the Portobello Road, West London in 1960; by descent to Adriana Dixon (née Bednarski) in 1970 (at which time the painting was valued for insurance purposes by Christie’s at £1,000); purchased by the present owner in 2019. An important work, not just for its scale, but also for the variety of elements and details in the composition. The rendering of the architecture, the skilful portrayal of burnished armour, and the addition of earrings on two of the figures, suggest a competent artist. The treatment of the subject stands comparison to the compositions of Pieter van Lint (1609-1690) and his teacher Artus Wolfaerts (1581-1641), both of whom produced large-scale works, as well as Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) whose own renderings of this same subject are well-known.

Dr. Henry Wellesley, Oxford; his posthumous sale, London, Sotheby’s, 25 June 1866 onwards, lot 954 (‘A Portfolio with leaves, containing 105 drawings in Pen and Sepia, Views in Tuscany, by Jacopo Ligozzi’); Sir David Kelly, London; his sale, London, Hodgson’s, 26 November 1954, lot 596 (‘Original Sepia and Wash Drawings of Scenery, Antiquities, Buildings etc. of Tuscany by Jacopo Ligozzi, Remigio Cantagallina and others’); Hans M.

Lot 353

The present work is accompanied by a card sheet (used to protect the drawing) with a presentation inscription in pencil to the present owner ‘With all good wishes for Christmas and a Happy New Year from Hans & Gerta Calmann. I hear you have a liking for Pesaro’. Hans Calmann, a stockbroker by profession was born in Hamburg, but forced to flee Nazi Germany for England in March 1937. In 1941 he opened a gallery in Davies Street, London, later moving to Bruton Place in 1963, where he remained until his retirement in 1973. Calmann presented drawings by Parmigianino, Mola and Cantagallina to the Ashmolean Museum, amongst other works. Remigio Cantagallina was born in Borgo San Sepolcro, near Arezzo in 1575, and spent the majority of his career in Florence. Influenced by Northern artists such as Paul Bril, Cantagallina himself influenced landscape artists working in Florence in the first half of the 17th century, including Jacques Callot. According to Filippo Baldinucci, Cantagallina was ‘celebre in disegnar paesi a penna’ (famous for his landscape drawings in pen). Finished landscaped drawings such as the present work are typical of his output, and were most likely intended as autonomous works in their own right. The landscape drawings are characterised by “an intimate feeling for contemporary life and trees with lively, twisting trunks and tightly defined clusters of leaves” (Italian Drawings from the Bick Collection, Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, 1971, catalogue number 24. Given the provenance of the dealer Hans Calmann, this drawing is likely to have come from an album of landscape drawings formerly in the collection of the scholar and antiquary Dr. Henry Wellesley (1791-1866), nephew of the Duke of Wellington, that appeared in auction in London in 1954. Although titled ‘Vedute di Toscana d’ Jacopo Ligozzi’, the album was in fact largely made up of highly finished drawings by Cantagallina, several of which were signed. The album was acquired by Hans Calmann, and the drawings were dispersed over the next few years. Examples are today in the Fondation Custodia (Frits Lugt Collection), Paris, the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, Pierpont Morgan Library, New York, Princeton University Art Museum, Detroit Institute of Arts, National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and elsewhere. See stephenongpin.com, Remigio Cantagallina, A Tuscan Landscape with Figures by a River (accessed 22 April 2020), from which the information on provenance has been sourced. (1) £1,500 - £2,000

Thomas Ashby (1874-1931), British archaeologist in Italy and director of the British School at Rome (bookplate, with manuscript aquisition note ‘Wey[?], Charing X Rd, 18/7/6, 2 vols, Vol 2’). 2. Professor Cecil H. Clough (1930-2017), Reader in Medieval History, University of Liverpool. Ottley, the son of a plantation owner entered the Royal Academy in 1787, studying briefly under John Brown, and was in Italy from 1791 to 1799. After his return to London ‘ Ottley established himself as a writer, connoisseur, and marchand-amateur. He was elected a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and, as a leading arbiter of taste, he advised others on the purchase of works of art’ (ODNB). He was responsible for a number of ambitious art publications and in 1833 became keeper of prints and drawings at the British Museum. A number of the sketches have manuscript captions in Italian referring to the original work, the artist or its location, the inconsistencies in spelling suggesting a non-native author. These include ‘Bologna, Domenchino [sic] in S. Agnese’ (after Domenichino, Martyrdom of St Agnes; a section), ‘Turino palazo [sic] Reale, Carlo Cignani’ (after Cignani, Adonis and his Dog, cf. Palgrave, Hand-book for Travellers in Northern Italy, 1847, p. 20), and ‘Tizziano [sic], palazzo Reale a Parigi’ (after Titian, Venus Anadyomene); briefer captions indicate originals by Guercino (the sketch depicting a woman holding a jug), ‘Reggio’ (presumably Raffaellino da Reggio), and Coreggio (‘Coreggio a Parma’); the Palazzo Caprara and the Palazzo Bonfiglioli are cited as locations for originals which are otherwise unidentified.

Seymour R.N. Got when we took Kertch in 1855, I being a Midshipman in the “Terrible”.’, 25.4 x 19.3cm (10 x 7.5ins) Provenance: Collection of Jack Webb (1923-2019), London. Admiral of the Fleet Sir Edward Herbert Seymour GCB GCVO OM PC LlD (1840-1929) entered the Royal Navy in 1852. He served as junior officer in the Black Sea during the Crimean War, and it was here that he recovered the icon. In his memoir, My Naval Career and Travels published in 1911, he recalled: ‘Kertch was pillaged and looted by allies. I remember entering its museum; the building was still standing, but its contents destroyed or taken away. Outside the doors was the inscription in French to the effect that we were at war with the present and not with antiquity, &c. The notice taken of it was to carry off what people could, and smash the rest. This, however, was only in keeping with what happened in war’. Seymour later served in the Second Opium War in China, the Taiping Rebellion, and the Egyptian War of 1882. During the Boxer Rebellion he led an expedition to relieve the besieged diplomatic legations in Peking; the expedition was defeated by Chinese and Boxer forces and had to return to Tianjin. Although the mission had failed, on Seymour’s arrival back at Portsmouth he and his men were welcomed by thousands of people lining the beach and pier. Saint Demetrios was probably a deacon martyred at Sirmium by the Emperor Maximilian around the 3rd century; he was later transformed by popular imagination into the great warrior saint, second only to Saint George in popularity. His cult developed in Salonika, where he was known as ‘The Great Martyr’. He is traditionally shown, as here, slaying the King of the Infidels. (1) £300 - £500

Provenance (Three votive paintings): Each with ownership inscription ‘Mrs Townshend Wilson’ to reverse of panel; this is possibly Georgina Townshend Wilson (1821-1894), née Hope-Vere, extra woman of the bedchamber to Queen Victoria from 1890 until her death. (4) £200 - £300

438* Attributed to Nicholas Chevalier (1828-1902). Portrait of Queen Victoria, after Franz Xaver Winterhalter (1805-1873), circa 1857-1861, oil on canvas, three-quarter length portrait half-profile to left, depicting a young Queen Victoria against a landscape, wearing a white silk satin and lace gown and the Order of the Garter, her hands crossed one over the other, and a pink and a white rose hanging down on stems from her left hand, with a gold locket around her neck, sapphire and diamond brooch, a jewelled armband, and a sapphire and diamond tiara worn at the back of her plaited and looped hair, superficial scratch to lower right, and a few small unobtrusive marks upper left, sometime trimmed and re-lined, with some splitting to edges of re-lining at corners, stretcher with old printed label ‘44800’, 139.7 x 105.3cm (55 x 41.5ins), contemporary substantial gilt moulded wood frame, with borders of stylised acanthus leaves and voluted drawer handles, and scrolling ribbon motif to outer edge, some discolouration and minor superficial chipping to gilt in a few places, with old framer’s label on verso ‘Richard Foster Norton, 83 Collins St. East, Melbourne’, together with two typed letters relating to the painting: one from J.F Kerslake, Assistant Keeper at the National Portrait Gallery, London, dated 30th September 1964, stating “Your portrait is a version of the well-known portrait of Queen Victoria by Winterhalter painted in 1842”; the other from Ursula Hoff, Acting Director of the National Gallery of Victoria, dated 10th October 1968, saying “ ... the portrait of Queen Victoria, after Winterhalter, is hanging at Government House in Melbourne ... “ Provenance: Collection of Jack Webb (1923-2019), London. In 1842 Franz Winterhalter was asked to paint Queen Victoria’s portrait, as well as a companion piece depicting Prince Albert. They were the first of many works to be commissioned from the artist, and the finished paintings were hung on the walls of the White Drawing Room at Windsor Castle, where they hang still. The portrait of Victoria proved to be one of the most popular and reproduced images of her, and many replicas were produced for relatives, other sovereigns, organisations, and institutional buildings, some executed by Winterhalter and his studio, others by various artists. Indeed, almost immediately Winterhalter was asked to paint copies for presentation to King Louis-Philippe of France, who installed them in the Musée du Roi at Versailles where they remain today. This second version of the Queen is markedly different from the first, depicting a more elegant and formal sovereign, wearing the Order of the Garter, amongst other additional details. In the mid 1850s copies of Winterhalter’s pair of paintings arrived at Government House in Melbourne, that of the Queen being based on Winterhalter’s second version of the sovereign. The fact that the present work also echoes version two, and the presence of the Melbourne-produced period frame would indicate that it is a high quality copy of the Melbourne portrait. Indeed it is known that a copy was made for Government House in Sydney, and therefore this may have been that copy (whose current whereabouts we have been unable to establish). Richard Foster Norton - gilder, carver, frame maker and print seller - was active between 1855 and 1865, and was known to be working at 83 Collins Street East between 1857 and 1861, suggesting that the painting was made fairly soon after the arrival in Melbourne of the first pair. Russian-born artist Nicholas Chevalier is one of the very few artists working in Melbourne at the time who was capable of producing a work of this quality, and who already had close connections with the British royal family. He studied painting and architecture in Switzerland and Munich, and in 1851 he travelled to London to see the Great Exhibition, where he trained as a lithographer and exhibited at the Royal Academy. His first association with royalty appears to have been at this time, when he designed the setting for the Koh-i-Noor diamond and was commissioned to design a fountain for the grounds of Osborne House. After studying for a time in Rome he sailed to Australia, arriving in Melbourne in February 1855. His work there as an artist was numerous and varied: amongst other things he worked as a commercial illustrator, was instrumental in founding the Victorian Society of Fine Arts, had his oil painting 'The Buffalo Ranges, Victoria' chosen as the first Australian work of art to be purchased for the National Gallery of Victoria in 1865, and later, after settling in London in 1870, worked for the London Selection Committee of the Art Gallery of NSW, assigned to purchase watercolours by living British artists. When Queen Victoria’s second son, the Duke of Edinburgh, arrived in Melbourne in 1867 as part of his world tour, Chevalier accompanied the royal party as correspondent for The Illustrated Australian News. He was subsequently invited to join the Duke’s entourage for the voyage back to England, documenting the journey with sketches and watercolours which were exhibited at the Crystal Palace and at the South Kensington Museum in 1872. On his return to England his association with the royal family strengthened, and he received numerous commissions, including that from Queen Victoria in January 1874 to go to Petersburg and document in paint the marriage of the Duke of Edinburgh. Chevalier’s work demonstrates a versatility of technique and subject matter, from the execution of small-scale cartoons and landscape watercolours, to the production of large portraits in oils. A comparison with the portrait of ‘Dr Maund’ in the National Gallery of Victoria, painted in 1863, shows a similarity in the delicacy of the brushwork to delineate, for instance, the eyebrows and other fine details, as well as a similar use of bodycolour to produce subtle highlights to eyes, nails, jewellery, and other details. Chevalier seems to have favoured setting his subjects in sharp relief against a dark background, which he did when painting his own self-portrait, and thus would perhaps have been a natural choice to reproduce a picture in which a dark backdrop was dictated and the subject must shine.

An unusual early portrayal of a woman smoking a cigarette. In the 19th century, when smoking was not considered appropriate for genteel females, and before the first commercially produced cigarettes, Spanish women were particularly noted for the habit of smoking hand-rolled cigarettes. The message of the painting reinforces the widely-held view that women who smoked were morally lax, depicting as it does the subject in abandoned pose with tumbling locks, scattered love letters and playing cards, and a devil-figure spill vase.

Edwin began work there as a civil engineer, surveyor, and architect, and subsequently became a drawing master at a school in the town of Nelson. He instructed all his children in the rudiments of sketching and painting, and Emily (1837-1925), the second of his five children, experimented with a variety of artistic techniques, painting landscapes and botanical studies in watercolour and oils, as well as producing items painted on satin such as fire screens and fans. She exhibited these latter items locally as well as sending them for exhibition at the 1886 Colonial and Indian Exhibition in London. In an attempt to bolster her family’s finances she also had her work published in 1890 in three books, entitled New Zealand Flowers, New Zealand Ferns and New Zealand Berries, each containing 12 lithographs after her paintings, and a further title, Fairyland in New Zealand, was published containing her illustrations. In 1924 63 of her watercolours were purchased by the Alexander Turnbull Library in Wellington for 10 shillings each, and her father’s work is represented in a number of public collections in New Zealand.

Although an enthusiastic and skilful painter of English landscapes, scenes of domestic life, and portraits, little appears to be known about Emily (christened Amelia) Prinsep, who seems to exist in the shadow of her more well-known brother, James Prinsep (1799-1840), and others from her large and influential family. James was a scholar, orientalist and antiquary, as well as an expert in numismatics, who made his fortune in India and helped a number of family members rise to prominent positions in India. Amongst a great many other pursuits he was himself a talented artist, and studied architecture under Augustus Pugin. Two of Emily’s other brothers, Thomas and William, were also accomplished artists.

£300 - £500

The poem reads: ‘She has started from his clasp/The Clasp so careless now/Her long rich tresses rippling gold/Fling backward from her brow. Her small hand fiercely clenched/Her sweet lip ghastly white/Why will he wake that measure yet/’Oft in the stilly night’/’Oft in the stilly night’/She has some that strain so oft/When no phantom memories haunted/The cadence low & soft/Ere her cheek had learned to kindle/Tio passion’s burning name/Ere to the life the poison/To the Eve the Tempter came/’Those early days those early days’/From her guilty dream awaking/The rose she clasped is fading fast/The reed she leant on - breaking - /The taunting laugh is on the life/That breathe the passionate vow/So young - so pure, so happy then/Oh God - Oh God - and now. ‘Oft in the stilly night’/The strain goes mocking on/Does she heed them does she hear them/Low notes & scornful tone/The misery is in her heart/The anguish in her brain/Yet the chords that he is touching/Add another thrill to pain/Back to thy task for child/Thy little reign is over/Go wreathe the curls & tune the voice/To charm the sated lover/Place those cold fingers gratefully/In that witless hand of his/He will not soothe one tear of thine/Smile for his careless kiss... This unpublished poem on one of the most famous of all pre-Raphaelite paintings, Holman Hunt’s The Awakening Conscience is the work of Susan K. Phillips, née Holdsworth, poet and wife of the portrait painter Henry Wyndham Phillips (1820-1868), a close friend of G.F. Watts. A volume of her poems entitled On the Seaboard and Other Poems was published by Macmillan in 1878. Holman Hunt’s painting was first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1854, and proved highly controversial. It was exhibited several times over the next few years, including at the Manchester Art Treasures exhibition of 1857 (to which both Holman Hunt and the Phillips were visitors). (2) £150 - £200

Having first worked at Tate Britain and in commercial galleries, in 1977 Monica Kinley met the art dealer Victor Musgrave, who in collaboration with Roger Cardinal, curated the seminal Outsiders exhibition at London’s Hayward Gallery in 1979. This led to the formation of the Outsider Archive, a collection which Musgrave hoped would eventually form the core of a specialist museum in Britain. Following Musgrave’s untimely death in 1984, Kinley took over the collection, committing herself to expanding - and finding a home for - the collection. She subsequently curated the touring exhibitions In Another World (Arts Council, 1987) and Inner Worlds Outside (Whitechapel, 2000).

Architecture, particularly Romanesque architecture, is a great influence on her work, and she writes: ‘All my work is principally a process of evolution, beginning with drawings made in situ in which I attempt to understand the structure and content of a subject, and developing into forms of two or three dimensions which are increasingly abstract in nature. Underlying all these forms is astrongly geometric structure of arcs, circles and ellipses drawnthrough the space in an attempt to reflect the infinite possibilities of form, light and colour.’ (2) £100 - £150

ARTIST'S RESALE RIGHT LAW ("DROIT DE SUITE") Lots marked with AR next to the lot number may be subject to Droit de Suite. Droit de Suite is payable on the hammer price of any artwork sold in the lifetime of the artist, or within 70 years of the artist's death. The buyer agrees to pay Dominic Winter Auctioneers Ltd. an amount equal to the resale royalty and we will pay such amount to the artist's collecting agent. Resale royalty applies where the Hammer price is 1,000 Euros or more and the amount cannot be more than 12,500 Euros per lot. The amount is calculated as follows: Royalty For the Portion of the Hammer Price (in Euros) 4.00% up to 50,000 3.00% between 50,000.01 and 200,000 1.00% between 200,000.01 and 350,000 0.50% between 350,000.01 and 500,000 Invoices will, as usual, be issued in Pounds Sterling. For the purposes of calculating the resale royalty the Pounds Sterling/Euro rate of exchange will be the European Central Bank reference rate on the day of the sale.

CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BUSINESS 1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims. 2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to settle it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice. (b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or some of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer or other party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in the Auction Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that the goods are bought bona fide on joint account. 3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of 20% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 20% which under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 20% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission. 4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the conclusion of the auction the total sum due. (b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so after such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion be put up again and resold immediately. (c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased no later than five working days after the auction day. (d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the buyer's cheque has been cleared. 5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller to exercise one or other of the following rights: (i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall belong to the seller. (ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract. (b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot per day. (c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due. 6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on which a reserve has been placed. (b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses incurred in cataloguing the lot. (c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller the normal selling commission and special expenses.

7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue, brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are hereby excluded. 8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive. (b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out by the Auctioneer. 9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance with 4(d) hereof. 10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to theAuctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions. 11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage. The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the lower estimate, or in the case of loss or damage prior to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods. (b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft, or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s written instructions. 12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the Auctioneer exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller hereunder lapses. 13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot or lots. 14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if incorporated herein. 15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law.
