A South Staffordshire enamel anti-slavery patch box, circa 1800Of oval form, the hinged lid printed with a kneeling black man, his chained hands clasped together, huts amongst trees and a slave ship in the distance, below the motto 'AM I NOT A MAN AND A BROTHER', the base with a simple pattern of green husks and blue sprigs, 4.8cm wideFootnotes:This powerful image of the kneeling slave and the accompanying motto was famously produced by Josiah Wedgwood, namely in the form of jasperware medallions. An example was sold by Bonhams on 29 September 2020, lot 123. To show and generate support for the plight of the slave the image was adapted to be used on a variety of small tokens, easily displayed or worn on the person. The leading abolitionist Thomas Clarkson noted 'Thus fashion...which usually confines itself to worthless things, was seen for once in the honourable office of promoting the cause of justice, humanity and freedom.' An anti-slavery patch box of different design from the Mort and Moira Lesser Collection was sold by Bonhams on 19 October 2011, lot 193.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Theatrical Interest: A South Staffordshire enamel patch box, circa 1805Of oval form, printed with a titled bust-length portrait of 'Young Roscius', the lobed base picked out in green, the hinged lid inset with a mirror, 4.4cm wideFootnotes:William Henry West Betty (1791-1874), known as 'the Young Roscius', was a child actor prodigy who toured Scotland and England in 1804. When he reached London in December 1804, there was fighting in the streets to secure tickets to see him perform at Drury Lane. Lord Byron referred to widespread 'Rosciomania', which ensured not only the commission of large-scale portraits by James Northcote and John Opie but souvenirs such as the present lot for playgoers to commemorate their having seen the celebrity on stage.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
A rare and important London enamel calendar plaque by Anthony Tregent, dated 1759Of upright rectangular form, printed in fine detail with a calendar entitled 'A NEW YEAR'S GIFT, for 1759', with notes for the year, mention of various saints' days and symbols denoting each new moon, half moon and full moon, over-stamped in red to the bottom right 'ONE PENNY DUTY', marked 'by Anth. Tregent in Denmark Street', the gilt metal frame with a loop for suspension, 12.8cm high including hanging loopFootnotes:ProvenanceLady Mullens Collection, Christie's sale, 18 March 1987, lot 407A snuff box by Anthony Tregent, printed with the same calendar for 1759 is illustrated and discussed by Eric Benton, The London Enamellers, ECC Trans, Vol.8, Pt.2, (1972) plate 109c. See the following announcement placed in 'The Daily Advertiser' on 23 and 29 December 1758;'ANTHONY TREGENT, enameller, at the Dial in Denmark-Street, St Giles's, Inventor of the Enamel New Year's Gift (so much admir'd and in request last year) humbly begs leave to acquaint the Nobility and Gentry that he has just finish'd a new one for 1759, being a curious Performance in Enamel accurately denoting, after the Manner of a Kalendar, the Days of the Month, and other Occurrences in the Yer...a genteel and useful Present for the New Year'. It would appear that in 1758 various other enamellers had attempted to copy Tregent's idea and put out what he saw as substandard imitations of his design and so 'to prevent the like Imposition on the Publick, and Prejudice to him, Notice is hereby given, that the Originals invented and done by him are enter'd at the Stamp Office, the Duty paid, and the Offices Mark, together with the Name and Place of Abode, appear thereon.' Duty was payable on newsprint in England from 1757 during the 7 years war and in this case the stamp was also used to differentiate Tregent's 'originals' from those made by imposters, as he saw them. A snuff box in the Metropolitan Museum, New York, (accession no. 03.26.3) lacking the signature or duty stamp would appear to be one of the latter, according to Tregent.The present lot is unusual for the fact that the entire calendar is printed on one large plaque, rather than printed in sections and mounted into a snuff box. Perhaps it fulfilled a particular commission from a wealthy client who wished to have this displayed at a desk or in a carriage.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Literature: The above insignia of St Michael and St George is illustrated in The Order of St Michael and St George by Peter Galloway [for the Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood, 2000] plates 11 and 13. There is no evidence of the existence of a collar for GCMGs before 1832 when they are first mentioned in the statutes published in that year. However, as there was no budgetry allowance for collars until 1869, Knights Grand Cross prior to that date would have to pay for one to be manufactured. Few did and for many years the collar had little more substance than a description in the statutes. This collar is unusual in that the statutes of 1832 only provide for the two central lions to be with wings, the remainder to be ‘lions of England royally crowned’, to which pattern Queen Victoria’s collar made in 1837 seems to conform, as do later collars. Richard Hussey Moubray was born at Plymouth in 1776 and entered the Royal Navy as a 14 year old Midshipman in 1789, aboard the Impregnable 98. Intelligent and energetic, he was destined for rapid promotion. He served in the Europa 50, Commodore Ford, at the capture in September 1793, of Jeremie and St Nicholas Mole, St Domingo; and, being shortly afterwards promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, was present as First of the same ship at the reduction of Port-au-Prince. He was advanced in June 1794 to the command of the Fly sloop, in which he assisted at the detention of five Dutch men-of-war and of a large convoy in Plymouth Sound in January 1795. He attained Post-rank on 10 April 1797, just a month after his 21st birthday. After serving as a Volunteer under his cousin, Captain Sir R. Bickerton on board the Ramillies and Terrible 74’s, Captain Moubray was appointed to the successive command, between 1801 and 1814, of the Maidstone and Active frigates, and Montagu and Repulse 74’s. During that thirteen-year period he was never absent from his duty for a single day, even on leave. In the Active he passed the Dardanelles with Sir John Duckworth in February 1807; and in the Montagu he played an important part in the reduction of Santa Maura in March 1810. He was created a Companion of the Bath in June 1815; a Rear-Admiral in in July 1821; a Knight Commander of the Bath in April 1833; and a G.C.M.G. and a Vice-Admiral in 1837. He assumed the name of Hussey by sign-manual on inheriting the estates of his cousin Admiral Sir Richard Hussey Bickerton, Bart., K.C.B., upon his death in 1832. Sir Richard Hussey Hussey died a Vice-Admiral of the Red on 6 November 1842.

Later that year, on 17 December, he was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment, and it would appear he remained employed in that capacity until being appointed a Staff Captain in the Middle East on the strength of the Royal Air Force in April 1918. He was awarded the M.B.E. (London Gazette 3 June 1919 refers). Between the Wars, Fawdry held a succession of appointments in the Stores and Equipment Branches of the Royal Air Force, including stints of service on the Staff in Iraq 1926-28 and in the Middle East 1933-36 (O.B.E.), and by the renewal of hostilities he was serving as a recently promoted Group Captain and C.O. of the R.A.F’s Maintenance Group.

William Innes Gerrard was born in Aberdeen on 13 May 1884 and was educated at Robert Gordon’s College and Aberdeen University. Following the outbreak of the Great War he entered the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve in August 1914 and subsequently served in H.M.S. Jupiter at the time of her epic ice-breaking voyage to Archangel in early 1915. As the only port through which Great Britain could supply Russia with munitions and equipment, until the Dardanelles could be opened, it was vital to force a channel through the icefields. In his Official History of Naval Operations in the Great War, Sir Julian Corbett records that, ‘the regular ice-breaker had broken down and the old battleship Jupiter established as one of many records of the War, so far as was known, by being the first vessel that had reached Archangel during February.’ She remained there until the first week of May and later saw service in the Mediterranean. Among those Officers and ratings subsequently decorated by the Tsar was Surgeon Gerrard. Remaining in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve throughout the 1920s, Gerrard retired in 1929, whilst holding the rank of Surgeon Lieutenant-Commander, upon being appointed Professor of Medicine at the University of Hong Kong, and for his services was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the following New Year’s Honours’ List. While in Hong Kong he established himself as a successful teacher and consultant and played an active part in developing the clinical professorial unit in the new Queen Mary Hospital. A member of the All-China Medical Association, he was awarded the Chinese Order of the Brilliant Jade. Recalled for service with the Royal Navy during the Second World War, he was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire for his services at the Royal Naval Hospital at Kingseat. He finally retired with the rank of Acting Captain. He died on 7 March 1956. Sold with copied research, including various Obituaries from Medical journals.
