Portrait of a lady, half length, in a large black hat and red cape oil on canvas, unframed 76 x 63 cmCondition report: Oil on canvas which appears to be unlined. There is possibly a patch or repair at the upper right corner. The paint layer is stable. There is a prominent network of age cracks in the sitter's face. There are localised areas of retouching but the extent of these is difficult to determine due to the varnish. The varnish is patchy and uneven with yellowed areas across the paint surface, there are some light scuffs and scratches across the surface.

painted with a ruin in a river landscape with travellers, label verso lists tunes as: Valse Robert le Diable, Valse de Strauss and La Marseillaise, with a gilt frame 69 x 79cmFootnote: Combining traditional landscape painting, with complex musical movements, and specialised horological craftsmanship, the present lot is an example of the fascinating, and much neglected, genre of musical clock paintings. Although pioneered in Geneva, the most sophisticated examples of these works date from the mid-19 th century, when the genre was developed and elevated to a more elaborate standard in Paris. Owing to the multitude of expertise required to produce such an object, a ‘tableau horloge’ would have been costly, and therefore reserved for only the finest of homes. Surrounded by a gilt frame, carved with acanthus and honeysuckle motifs, this 1853 oil on canvas depicts an idyllic pastoral scene. On the left, a group of three figures, one sitting atop a donkey, are joined by a black and white dog, as the landscape in the background recedes away from them. On the right, in a state of romantic disrepair, stands the skeleton of a Gothic church. Dwarfed beneath the pointed arches of the arcade stands a pair of figures, behind them, in the cavernous belly of the nave, small shafts of light cascade through the opposing facade. Above the arcade, the upper storeys of the building are replaced by a temporary structure, with just a glimpse of the decaying clerestory visible below the apex of the pitched roof. The adjoining clock tower encases the functional timepiece, its white circular dial painted with black Roman numerals and complete with two hands. While the bucolic scene is well painted, the real intricacies of the piece are hidden behind the canvas. Activated by levers at the bottom of the frame, a steel comb and small revolving cylinder plays three tunes, Valse Robert le Diable (1831), Valse de Strauss, and La Marseillaise (1792), while the double-barrelled clock movement triggers an hourly gong. Coeval labels, adhered to the inside of the frame, and an inscription to the backplate of the clock movement, suggest that this work was produced by Maison Wurtel, the atelier of clockmaker Ferdinand Wurtel, who had his premises at 38 to 40 Galerie Vivienne, Paris.Condition report: Areas of woodworm damage to the inside of the frame, musical component not functional, with one of the levers jammed.

The work is an interesting attempt to identify a plant called Britannica by the ancient authors, which was used to cure scurvy.

The second, most important work is a treatise on succulents, recently brought from America, illustrated with 8 plates. This work, although dated one year earlier, contains the index and errata of the first work at the end.

Subdivisé en ses principals provinces, tiré de plusieurs mémoires par le Sanson, Paris: Hubert Jaillot, 1692, each on two sheets, conjoined, with cartouches, contemporary outline colour, toning, creasing and repairs, modern full calf binding, gilt red morocco label to front board, atlas folioQty: (1)NOTESBurden II 532 (for North America: 'very rare'); Chubb p. 420; Shirley British Isles 1650-1750 p. 29; Shirley World 501; Tooley Africa p. 56 ('uncommon'); Tooley America p. 122 (for North America). A near-complete set of Berry's series of maps known as 'the English Sanson', 'very rare' (Chubb), and with Europe and Denmark, the only missing maps according to the list at the foot of The Circle and Electorat of the Rhine , appositely replaced with contemporary examples by Moll and Jaillot. Based on Jaillot’s Atlas nouveau (1674), a reworking of Sanson, they were published separately between 1680 and 1689, which may account for their high attrition rate. Berry’s version of the North America map is especially important, being the first or at least the second map to name Pennsylvania, which was founded on 4 March 1681 (Thornton and Seller's map appeared in the summer of that year). Certain features of Jaillot's map are retained, including the easterly slant to the Mississippi River, and the omission of Montreal, but there are notable differences other than the inclusion of Pennsylvania. 'Much of it is the anglicising of the continent, New England's boundaries being pushed to the St Lawrence River and New Scotland laying claim to all of the territory to the Gulf and Acadia ... Penn's main rival Maryland is not ignored and the town of Baltamore [sic] is identified. The southern claims of England are also extended with the inclusion of Charles-Towne and Carolina. In the west one notable addition is a Straits of Anian. The engraver of the map is not known although it bears many ofthe hallmarks of Herman Moll. If his work it would be one of his earliest known' (Burden). The world map exhibits similar changes: 'Berry has patriotically marked the islands discovered by Drake just off Tierra del Fuego and has added New Albion in the northern part of California, shown as an island' (Shirley; California is depicted in the same manner in North America ). North America is in Burden's first state (it was re-issued in 1718); The New Mapp of the Kingdome of England and Wales is in Shirley's first state; the Moll map of Europe was also re-issued c.1730 with a re-engraved dedication to Caroline, consort of George II.

Yokohama. Sadahide (Utagawa, also known as Hashimoto or Go’untei Sadahide,1807- 1878), Panorama of Yokohama, circa 1860, large colour woodblock, printed on light-weight Japanese paper, showing the rapidly developing city of Yokohama in a panoramic view with the title above the image, slight marginal fraying and dust soiling, old folds, some wear and loss where old folds cross and slight loss to printed text on the lower left-hand margin, 670 x 1840mmQty: (1)NOTESThis highly dramatic and colourful image shows the city viewed from across the bay from Kayasu or Kanagawa village. Numerous steamships from Japan, the Netherlands, United States, Great Britain, France and Russia are anchored in the harbour. The image was possibly produced to serve as a visitor’s guide and souvenir. The city had rapidly expanded in the middle of the 19th century and became a successful trading port, bringing with it a mass of foreign visitors, merchants and traders. This was an opportunity which Sadahide astutely targeted as a new and lucrative market for his work. He studied under Kunisada I and was especially known for his Yokohama landscape prints and portraits. During his career, he produced over eighty-five prints of Yokohama, and visitor guides, including in 1862 ‘Things seen and heard at the open port of Yokohama’ which depicted the Western’s style of dress, appearance, and way of life.

* Leyden (Jock, 1908-2000).

He moved to South Africa in 1926 where he attended art school in Durban, his first cartoon appearing in the sports pages of the Natal Advertiser in 1927. He spent most of his subsequent life in South Africa, and for more than 50 years was a thorn in the flesh of the brutal apartheid regime there, during a career in which it is estimated that more than 20,000 of his cartoons were published. Leyden's campaign against injustice began in the late 1930s and he became South Africa's leading political cartoonist, shrugging off death threats during the Second World War when his drawings attacked the nationalists' support of Nazi Germany. During the 1950s and 1960s, his drawings sketched a biting insight into the turmoil in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). He said that he had ''gone to the limit'' with his anti-apartheid cartoons at a time when working on a newspaper was ''like walking over a minefield'', saying ''I used to test the editor. Some editors were a bit petrified. If a cartoon was not published, I regarded it as a bit of a compliment - it was obviously too strong.''

Admiral Sir Frank Larken KCB CMG (1875-1953) entered the Royal Navy in 1889. On the declaration of war in August 1914 he took command of light cruiser HMS Doris in the eastern Mediterranean, with instructions to launch amphibious raids on Turkish positions along the Syrian coast. His demolition of the railway at Alexandretta in December 1918 forced the Turks into negotiations by which they agreed to destroy their own railway engines and stores, under British supervision, a somewhat farcical event which was key to Churchill's appraisal of Turkish military capability and his decision to launch the Gallipoli campaign, during which the Doris provided support for the Anzac landings. Larken later commanded battleship HMS Valiant (1922-4), was promoted rear-admiral in 1924, vice-admiral in 1929, and admiral in 1933.
