His trainer George Frederick Leader died with his wife in a car accident, on the way home from the race. Gainslaw was sold to a Polish princess and while in Poland sired a filly, Margaritka. As the Second World War came to an end, many Polish thoroughbred horses were taken to Russia. Here Margaritka succeeded in winning good races, and her second foal, Element, won many races including the Russian Derby. Element later sired Anilin, reputed to be the greatest horse to grace the Russian turf. Alfred Bright, a Liverpool cotton broker, was president of the Liver Sketching Club from 1919-1922, painting well-known racehorses of the era.

* Dickinsons (19th century).

Savage & Son' and with ink manuscript label 'Bred by W.M. Wroughton M.F.H. who lived at Creaton Lodge & married Edith Cazenove. Given to me by his granddaughter Toni Lunn. H. de L.C.'Qty: (2)NOTES'Dickinsons' is most likely the firm of artists and publishers founded by the Dickinson brothers in New Bond Street, London, as mentioned by Cuthbert Bradley in 'Good Sport seen with some Famous Packs 1885-1910', in which he describes making studies in the Badminton and Althorp kennels for a large picture later published by 'Messrs. Dickinson of Bond Street in 1900'. Although the Dickinson brothers had ceased their formal links to the firm in 1876, the new owner continued using the name 'Dickinsons' long after. It is therefore possible that these pictures are either by, or after, studies by Cuthbert Bradley, who mentions both Potentate and Marquis in his book. In his companion publication 'The Foxhound of the Twentieth Century' there is a reproduction of a study taken of 'Potentate', which has many similarities to the painting offered here.

BYZANTINISCH (EDESSA MAZEDONIEN), 12. und um 1300 (Miniatur).Blatt aus einem Evangeliar mit der Figur des Evangelisten Markus. Griechische Handschrift auf Pergament.Blattgrösse: 125 x 96 mm (Miniatur 86 x 90 mm)Mutter Manuskript: Chicago, University of Chicago Library, Goodspeed Manuscript Collection, Ms 129 Greg.1152 (früher Goodspeed Ms Grk.11)Schreiber: Nikolaus von Edessa, 4 Mai 1133Vorliegendes Blatt stammt aus einem byzantinischen Evangeliar aus dem frühen 12.Jahrhundert, das sich dank dem freundlichen Hinweis von Dr. Georgi Parpulov mit Ms. 129 Greg.1152 (früher Goodspeed Ms Grk.11) der Chicago University Library in Chicago identifizieren lässt. Der in griechischer Schrift geschriebene Text auf der mit Bleistift als fol 61 bezeichnete Vorderseite enthält die Auflistung der Abschnitte des Markus Evangeliums nach dem Kanon des Eusebius von Caesarea (265-340), dessen Unterteilungsprinzip in Abschnitte die Aufteilung der Evangelien bis ins 13.Jahrhundert konditioniert hatte. Die Folio Nummer 61 entspricht jener des heute an dieser Stelle fehlenden Blattes im Manuskript von Chicago überein, gleich wie die Dimensionen und die Spuren der Buchbindung des Blattes genauestens mit denen der Mutter Manuskriptes übereinstimmen.Wie dem Text des Kolophon auf fol. 192 v.193r von Ms. 129 zu entnehmen ist, hatte der Schreiber Nikolaus von Edessa die Niederschrift des Evangeliars am 4. Mai 1133 zu Ende gebracht: "Hier ist das Ende der von Christus gesprochenen Worte. Empfehlt mich dem Herrn, den Schreiber Nicolaus von Edessa, den sündigen Mönch und seine Familie. Amen. Dieses Buch wurde im Monat Mai am 4. Tag der 11. Diktion im Jahr 6641 (1133) in der von Christus gesegneten Stadt Edessa vollendet". Wie aus der Erstpublikation des Evangeliars duch Joannides (Joannides 1864) hervorgeht, der zu dieser Zeit das Manuskript noch mit den illuminierten Bildern der Evangelisten gesehen hatte, wurden diese vier illuminierten Seiten in der Folge, im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts aus dem Manuskript entfernt. Gleich wie die einzige heute noch im Manuskript befindliche Buchmalerei, die Jungfrau vom Stifter angebetet (fol.6), sind die Buchmalereien später hinzugefügt worden, was auch für unser Blatt klar zutage tritt. Der Text der Vorderseite unseres Blattes ist die Fortsetzung des Chicagoer Manuskriptes und enthält die Fortsetzung der Auflistung der Abschnitte des Markus Evangeliums und rückseitig - über der Darstellung des Markus - und ein kurzes Vorwort zum Markus Evangelium. Wie erwähnt ist der 1133 niedergeschriebene Text älter als die beigefügte Bildminiatur, die aufgrund ihres Stils wohl zur Wende vom 13. zum 14. Jahrhundert gemalt wurde. Der Stil unseres Evangelisten Markus, der an einem Schreibpult sitzend sein Evangelium niederschreibt, lässt sich mit der Markus Darstellung eines Evangeliars in englischem Privatbesitz (Georgi Parpulov, in: Gaudenz Freuler, The Mc Carthy Collection, I, Italian and Byzantine Miniatures, London 2018, S.272-273, Nr. 87) vergleichen, der zu Recht ins 14.

The company continued throughout the 20th century under the direction of Arthur's three sons and five grandsons before closing in 1970. The American branch of the firm, Lee Jofa, is still in existence in New York. As well as developing innovative methods of weaving tapestry cloths, and producing high-quality hand-blocked fabrics, Lee is particularly known for his revival of the practise of hand-crafted needlepoint and crewelwork. Such pieces now seldom appear on the market.

* Sampler. A rare painted gauze sampler of England and Wales, by Ann Mulliner, 1775, depicting the counties of England and regions of Wales with numbered and lettered keys, with part of France showing, and lettering to lower margin 'English Chanall Ann Mulliner 1775', worked with minute square infills of white paint on a gauze ground backed with grey fabric, each area with a different design, with outlines stitched in gold coloured thread, slightly dust-soiled and spotted in places, occasional light rubbing, small hole to upper blank margin, 46.5 x 38cm (18.25 x 15ins), giltwood frame, glazed, together with 4 small stitched samplers, including a commemorative sampler marking the birth of James Dyson, born September 21st 1827, with flower urn and heart motifs, a sampler by Adelaide Dyson, Thomas National School, Bradley, 1879, and a sampler by Martha Aslet dated January 20th 1851, plus 3 early 20th century wallet-style fabric purses, each with decorative polychromatic hand-stitching overall, comprising horizontal lines showcasing a multitude of different stitches, one incorporating metallic thread, 2 with closure loops broken, and the smallest with a few loose threads and silk lining perishing in places, largest 16 x 23.5cm (6.5 x 9.25ins), smallest 8.5 x 11.5cm (3.5 x 4.5ins), latter containing 5 small embroideries of crowns, each hand-worked in coloured wools in cross-stitch on canvas, each with a manuscript letter on card pinned to one corner (one with additional note 'strawberry leaves not very plain'), approximately 7 x 7cm (2.75 x 2.75ins)Qty: (13)NOTESA most unusual piece of educational handiwork; we have traced only one other painted gauze sampler offered at auction (sold in 2008, dated 1803). The techinique of filling some squares in with paint and leaving others void mimicks cross-stitch but gives a lace-like effect. Each county or area is worked in a different pattern, and it must have been every bit as painstaking to achieve as the finest stitched samplers.

Original plain grey wrappers, pale manuscript title on upper wrapper, untrimmed (some minor chipping to top edge, some minor soiling); morocco-backed slipcase. FIRST EDITION, containing the first printings of three of Coleridge's most celebrated poems.  Coleridge began writing Christabel as early at 1803. Kubla Khan, which Coleridge composed one night after he experienced an opium-influenced dream in 1797, could not be completed according to his original plan; while writing, Coleridge was interrupted by "a person from Porlock," and the interruption caused him to forget the lines.  He would read the poem periodically to the Wordsworths, Lord Byron, and other friends, and in April 1816, Byron persuaded him to publish the visionary Kubla Khan and Christabel.
