Lieutenant Robert Strickland Thomas (British, 1787-1853)Two magnificent First Rates: HMS Trafalgar and HMS Queen lying off the Royal Dockyard at Sheerness, a pair both signed and dated 'R.S. Thomas Px 1845' (lower right)oil on canvas46 x 69.8cm (18 1/8 x 27 1/2in). (2)Footnotes:ProvenancePossibly commissioned by Admiral Sir Edward Durnford King, K.C.H.With The Parker Gallery, London.Anon. sale, Christie's, London, 31 Oct 2007, lot 74.Private collection, France (acquired at the above sale).The First Rate HMS Trafalgar was ordered in February 1825 as the last of five 'Saint George' class three-deckers designed after the end of the Napoleonic Wars. Her keel was laid in Woolwich Dockyard in December 1829 but she was not ready for launching until the summer of 1841, having spent 11½ years on the stocks. A large vessel of 2,694 tons measuring 205½ feet in length with a 53½ foot beam, she mounted 120 guns of varying calibre and carried 1,000 men to crew her as an effective fighting machine.Built by Oliver Lang at Woolwich, she was launched by him on 21st June 1841 despite the apparent presence of Queen Victoria amongst the crowd of 300,000 people said to have assembled to watch the spectacle. First employed as flagship to the Commander-in-Chief, Sheerness, she showed her mettle in the Crimean War when she took an active role in the twelve-hour bombardment of Odessa on 22nd April 1854 and the subsequent huge bombardment of Sebastopol on 17th October the same year. These triumphs also signalled the end of the supremacy of sail however; the great three-deckers which had successfully pounded the Russian defences had mostly been towed into position by steamships and it had become clear to the Admiralty that the future of the 'Pax Britannica' lay with steam. Consequently, Trafalgar like most of her larger contemporaries - was docked for conversion and fitted with screw propulsion in a refit lasting a year from August 1858. At the same time, she was cut down into a two-decker although lengthened 15 feet by the stern to accommodate her new 500nhp. Maudslay engines; the cost of £25,000 was deemed a bargain compared to the £105,000 needed for a totally new vessel. Undocked on 14th August 1859, she served four years in the Channel Fleet and then spent a year in the Mediterranean before becoming coastguard vessel at Queensferry in 1864. Last at sea with the Reserve Fleet in 1869, she was then converted to a boys' training ship at Portsmouth and, when transferred to Portland in 1873, was renamed Boscawen. Finally sold out of the service in July 1906, she was broken up on the Thames after sixty-five years afloat.HMS Queen was, if for no other reason, a significant vessel in the long history of the Royal Navy since she was the very last sailing battleship to be completed before the advent of steam. Initially ordered as a 120-gun First Rate in 1825, she was extensively redesigned by the new Surveyor of the Navy Sir William Symonds to accommodate 110 guns before building commenced and her keel was laid at Portsmouth in November 1833. Originally to be called Royal Frederick, she was re-named in honour of the new Queen when virtually finished and launched on 15th May 1839. An enormous three-decker of 3,099 tons, she measured 204 feet in length and was armed with ten 8-in. guns and one hundred 32-pounders.In almost continuous commission for nearly twenty years, she was part of the fleet sent to the Black Sea during the Crimean War (1854-56) where she distinguished herself at the first bombardment of Sebastopol on 17th October 1854 even though she was set on fire three times and eventually forced to withdraw from the action. Despite the Anglo-French alliance during that war however, subsequent Admiralty mistrust of French intentions resulted in an extensive warship modernisation programme during 1858-59 with Queen amongst those vessels selected for improvement. The work was carried out at Sheerness and by the time she was undocked there on 5th April 1859, she had been converted to screw propulsion thanks to the installation of a 500nhp. Maudslay engine whilst at the same time being cut down in size to a two-decker mounting 86 guns. Now capable of steaming at 10½ knots yet with a much reduced crew, she was promptly commissioned into the Mediterranean Fleet where she remained until 1864. Returning home to be paid off, this marked the end of her sea-going career and she was broken up in 1871, having hardly justified the £25,000 spent on modernising her only a only decade earlier, thanks to the rapid advances in technology.It seems probable that the two paintings offered in this lot were commissioned by Admiral Sir Edward Durnford King, K.C.H. (died 1862) to mark his appointment as Commander-in-Chief at the Nore on 18th April 1845.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A 1961 Daimler Majestic Registration number 365 HFJ Chassis number 99732 Engine number 92445 V5C MOT expires September 2021 (although exempt) Black over grey with a leather interior Walnut dash and door cappings With some old MOT's and a few bills Owners handbook From the owner: My Daimler Majestic 3.8 Saloon Model DF318 3794cc. First registered 01/09/1961 Black and grey. Straight six cylinder. Dunlop disc brakes and Borg-Warner automatic transmission. Possibly also power assisted steering as it?s very light. Original registration number 781 CXU Changed to 365 HFJ in about 1964. Vehicle identification number: 99732. Engine number: 92445 Historic Vehicle The car?s history My father bought it second hand in 1964 or 1965 (and, rather eccentrically, swapped the original registration number with that of his Morris 1000 Traveller). The car, first delivered on 1st September 1961, had originally been supplied by Hughes of Beaconsfield to a London businessman living in the town, who had bought it at his wife?s request. But she had then died so he sold the car with only 6,000 miles on the clock. Shortly after my father bought it he had to put in a new speedometer so the present reading of 60,558 miles is about 6,000 miles too low. I remember him driving me back to boarding school along the old A4 when I was about 17, and the car running more and more slowly until it finally stopped near Silbury Hill. Father had forgotten to top up the oil, but no important damage appeared to have been done. When I learned to drive in the late 1960s, he would very occasionally let me use it and I remember trying to impress various girlfriends with varying degrees of success. I went to my wedding in it, Labrador in the back, and it was in attendance at my parents? funerals and our children?s christenings. Between November 1980 and April 1981 I left the car with Fred Seaward of Buckland Newton Garage, Buckland Newton, Dorset. Fred thoroughly checked and repaired or renewed a number of mechanical and electrical parts, repaired or rebuilt some bodywork and doors, and welded front splash panels, sill plates, etc. He re-sprayed the car with four litres of black and five litres of silver paint. In July 1995, on the 50th anniversary of Labour?s 1945 election victory, Downing Street gave me permission to drive to Chequers, the prime minister?s country residence, and have an evening picnic in the grounds. Our party consisted of my wife?s mother ? Clement Attlee?s daughter ? my wife (Clem?s granddaughter) our two young sons and me. We drove in the Daimler. I was asked to send our and the car?s details ahead, but for Granny the trip was a surprise. When we arrived at security at the Chequers entrance gates, one of the police officers asked, ?Can you tell me why in 1964 your father changed this car?s registration number?? I couldn?t, but Chequers? security background- checking was impressive. As we were finishing our picnic, a minion appeared and asked if, we?d like to go up to the house for a drink with Mrs Major (John Major?s wife Norma). We did .She was charming, and delighted to show our two boys, among other things, the secret door in the library and Cromwell?s death mask. In July 2004 I had a (gentle) collision with a Land Rover in a lane near where we live. The damage required the removal and replacement (with second-hand parts) of the radiator grill surround and flutes, front bumper, o/s front over-rider and o/s headlamp and bowl and rim and fixings. The necessary work was completed and second-hand parts supplied by John Nash of the Daimler Enthusiasts Club, Christchurch, Dorset. (T: 01202 481251). John Nash added ?I see you didn't mention all the major welding repairs I did to front body supports on front chassis outriggers, to the inner sills & door pillars etc and rear chassis outrigger to boot floor. I remember that job as it was very bad that the doors had dropped so much that they would not shut properly. Maybe we should not mention that but most of these suffer the same it but at least its all been done.? I don?t remember all this but I have Fred Seaward?s and John Nash?s bills.

* Basire (James). Messrs England's Light Locomotive Engine. Which will take a train with 100 passengers at 45 miles per hour, the consumption of coke not exceeding 7lbs per mile, London: J. Basire, circa 1851, lithograph on wove after E.E. Barnard, depicting the 2-2-2 locomotive 'Little England' built by the Hatcham Iron Works, upper right and left corners torn with loss and repaired, some repaired tears to verso of whole print, lined to verso with archival tissue, 425 x 665 mm, mountedQty: (1)NOTESThe Hatcham Iron Works was founded by George England (1811-78) of Newcastle upon Tyne, with records showing that he first paid rates on the property in July 1840, but it was not until the 1846 edition of the Post Office Directories that the firm was listed as ‘England, George & Co. Engineers and patent screw jack manufacturers. During the Great Exhibition of 1851 he had two items on display. Exhibit No 484 was a Patent Traversing Screw Jack ‘for raising and moving heavy bodies, both vertically and laterally’. Exhibit No 509 was one of George’s standard 2-2-2 tank locomotives, also named Little England, ‘intended to reduce locomotive expenses in proportion to the amount of traffic. It has been proved that this engine is capable of working express trains of six first class carriages at a speed of 60 miles per hour consuming only 8lbs of coke per mile’. A blue flag bearing the legend ‘Speed, Safety and Economy’ in gilt letters was suspended over the engine. The jury were impressed, and awarded a Gold Medal, praising the engine’s ‘ingenious arrangement and good workmanship’. The firm also exhibited in Paris in 1855 and at the second International Exhibition in London in 1862. During the 1860's George England's firm built a number of locomotives for the famous Festiniog Railway.

* Hunt (Charles). This View of H. M. Steam Frigate "Geyser" when of Mt. Edgecombe is with his permission dedicated to Sir John Barrow Bart. Secretary to the Admiralty..., Built after the plans of Sir Wm. Symonds, Engines 280 horse power by Messrs. Seaward, Ackermann & Co., Nov. 1st. 1841, aquatint with contemporary hand-colouring after W. Knell, slight spotting, 460 x 620 mm, mounted, framed and glazedQty: (1)NOTESH. M. Geyser was laid down in August 1840 and launched on 6 April 1841. She was 180 feet long on the gundeck and displaced 1,590 tons. Power for her paddles came from a Seaward & Capel 2-cylinder direct-acting steam engine developing 280 horsepower. She was commissioned for the first time at Sheerness on 8 March 1842. She served in the Mediterranean and the Levant in 1846 and in 1848 she was sent to the Cape of Good Hope and on 16 February 1850, she rescued the survivors of the barque Childe Harold, a passenger ship homeward bound from Australia. Childe Harold had struck the south-east point of Dassen Island on the West Coast of South Africa. The only fatality was the Master, James Byres, who drowned while attempting to swim ashore with a line. She spent much of 1851 conducting anti-slavery patrols off the coast of Brazil and on the 11th February 1851 she captured the slave brig, Mangano, in the vicinity of Rio de Janeiro. She was present at the Fleet Review at Spithead on 23 April 1856, and in 1857 was at Simon's Town in South Africa for patrols off the East Coast of Africa. On 23rd June 1860, she was recommissioned at Devonport for service on the Home Station as a storeship. She was driven against the quayside in a gale at Plymouth on 14th January 1865 and was damaged. She was broken up the following year.

* Jenner (Edward, 1749-1823), English physician and scientist who pioneered the concept of vaccines. A George III silver snuff box by IB, Birmingham 1795, the rectangular box with engine turned decoration, the hinged lid enclosing gilded interior, the inner lid contemporarily engraved ‘Edward Jenner to Thomas Croome.’, 27mm high x 85mm wide x 45mm deep, approximately 91gQty: (1)NOTESA rare Edward Jenner association item, even if the identity of the recipient has not been firmly established. The most favoured candidate is Thomas Croome (1796-1840), one of whose sisters, Mary (1779-1865), or Ann (1789-1849), was a god-daughter to Jenner and whose older brother, Robert (1794-1876), appears to have been a pupil and friend of Jenner. Robert lived and practised as a surgeon in Middleton Cheney, Northamptonshire, where he also gave smallpox vaccinations. These siblings were the children of William (1745-1811) and Sally (1751-1743) Croome of Berkeley, Gloucestershire, where Jenner himself lived and practised. If this Thomas Croome is the right attribution then it is likely that the snuff box would have been engraved and gifted in Jenner's later years when Thomas was an adult. Another Jenner artefact from this Croome family is known. 'Dr Jenner's chair' was purchased at the 1823 sale of his furniture by one of Robert and Thomas's sisters and given to Robert. This chair remained in the Croome family until it was sold with other family effects in September 1900 and bought by E. B. Tylor, Keeper of the University Museum, Oxford, who in turn gave it to the Museum's medical department. From there it was transferred to the Museum of the History of Science in 1949 (inventory no. 17096). It is probable that both Thomas and Robert had some involvement in the proposals and planning for the erection of a memorial statue to Jenner in Gloucester Cathedral [sculpted by R.W. Sievier, 1825]; see Wellcome Library MS1180/3014/3014/5241, items 3 & 5: letters to the committee secretary, the surgeon Henry Jones Shrapnell (1792-1834). Another less likely, and older, candidate is a gentleman, Thomas Croome (1769-1839) of Randwick, Gloucestershire, who bought the Manor of Painswick, Gloucestershire, in 1804. This Thomas Croome married Elizabeth Clutterbuck (1767-1827) at Randwick in 1801. However, no direct connection between this Thomas Croome and Jenner has been ascertained. What is certain is that the family name of Croome is common in Berkeley and throughout Gloucestershire and it is quite possible Edward Jenner knew more than one Thomas Croome.
