Basil, Lt. Col. Jackson (British, 1795-1889)Portrait of Napoleon, standing full length, with Longwood House beyond inscribed 'Said to be very like him at that' (beneath mount)pencil, pen and watercolour20 x 14.5cm Footnotes:Provenance:The Countess of Bertrand, from the artist.Given to Captain Humphrey Senhouse, upon the Countess of Bertrand's return to England in 1821.Thence by descent to Mrs Pocklington Senhouse, Netherhall, Cumberland.The Senhouse Family were important traders in Whitehaven in Cumbria, England, in the 18th Century, and were involved in privateering and the slave trade to West Africa and the West Indies, where the family owned plantations. Captain Humphrey Senhouse was flag captain to Rear Admiral Sir Henry Hotham, commanding the British Fleet of France in 1815.Literature:Arnold Chaplin, Napoleon's Captivity on St. Helena 1815 - 1821, A Comprehensive Listing of Those Present including Civil, Military and Naval Personnel with Biographical Details, originally published in 1919 (reprinted by Savannah in 2002) p. 163.Lt. Col. Basil Jackson (1795-1889), a Lieutenant in the Staff Corps, was one of a group of young British officers guarding Napoleon at Longwood House in St. Helena. Born into a military family in Glasgow, Jackson was present at Waterloo as deputy assistant quartermaster-general, before being posted to St. Helena in 1816. Jackson was charged with the duty, under Major Emmett, of supervising the repairs to Longwood, the building of Bertrand's Villa, and Longwood New House. He was thus brought into close contact with the residents and his knowledge of French made him popular company. On July 20th, 1817, in company with Major Emmett, he had an interview with Napoleon. In July 1819 Jackson left St. Helena in the Dunira with Mrs. Hodson and Mrs. Knipe. Jackson produced several watercolour sketches of views in St. Helena and several likenesses of Napoleon himself. He also drew the plans for Longwood New House (see for example Bonhams Knightsbridge, 30 March 1999, lot 74). Jackson died in 1889, at the advanced age of ninety-four, and therefore has the distinction of being the last person to survive of those connected with the captivity of Napoleon. Jackson recalled his time in St. Helena in Notes and Reminiscences of a Staff Officer, chiefly relating to the Waterloo campaign, and to St Helena matters during the captivity of Napoleon.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Guillaume Dominique Jacques Doncre (Zeggercappel 1743-1820 Arras)Portrait of a woman preparing shoe buckles signed and dated 'D. doncre pinxit 1796' (on table, lower right)oil on canvas80.6 x 65.5cm Footnotes:This unusual subject may well be a unique visual record of a significant episode in the history of the French Revolution involving citizens making the public gesture of giving up their valuable worldly goods to the greater glory of the new regime. The Assembly in Paris started a register of donors' names to encourage patriotic gifts of jewellery and silver or gold tableware. Shoe buckles – which until then had been a means of displaying personal wealth – became incriminating symbols of the old regime and many were sent to the Assembly to raise funds for the cause. The loose shoe buckles required some preparation, and in this painting the sitter has been sewing pairs of silver buckles onto playing cards. Around this time, billets de confiance (promissory notes issued in advance of assignats, the new revolutionary paper money) were often printed on playing cards, so their presence in this work may represent more than just a support for the buckles.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Brooke Esq, St. Helena, copied after Denzil Ibbetson; and Napoleon's Tomb, St Helena, which shows Napoleon's original tomb before the exhumation in 1840, and the return of his body to France.The two images taken after Ibbetson were presumably copied from T. H. Brooke's History of the Island of St. Helena, published in 1824. The new house at Longwood was specially constructed for use by Napoleon and parts of it were pre-made in Britain by the Royal Engineers and shipped out. Napoleon, however, rejected the house and lived in Longwood nearby.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Five Staffordshire groups of the 'Death of Nelson' and a figure of Nelson, mid-19th centuryThe groups of varied form, each with Nelson collapsed in his last moments, attended by either one or two figures, supporting the Admiral, one example with Nelson's eyes closed and his hat at his feet, some titled to the base, 14-22cm high, the small figure of Nelson modelled standing by HMS Victory, 14cm high (6)Footnotes:None of the many variants of the iconic scene of Nelson's Death rendered in Staffordshire figures, seem to correspond exactly to paintings on the subject nor the bronze relief at the foot of Nelson's Column. However, it might be assumed that the Admiral's attendees are meant to represent the Revd Dr Scott, the ship's chaplain and Mr Beatty, the ship's surgeon, looking for Nelson's pulse in some cases.

To solidify ties with French-occupied Italy, Napoleon therefore arranged for her to marry Camillo Borghese, 6th Prince of Sulmona. After Napoleon's fall, Pauline was the only one of his siblings to visit him on Elba during his exile. She moved to Rome after the Battle of Waterloo, where Pope Pius VII offered her and other family members his protection.

English School, 19th CenturyPortrait of Henry William Paget, 1st Marquess of Anglesey (1768-1854), bust-length and wearing the Order of Saint George and the Star of the Order of the Garteroil on canvas93.7 x 73cm Footnotes:Henry William Paget, 1st Marquess of Anglesey (1768-1854), styled Lord Paget between 1784 and 1812 and known as the Earl of Uxbridge between 1812 and 1815, was a British Army officer and politician. After serving as a Member of Parliament for Caernarvon and then for Milborne Port, he took part in the Flanders Campaign and then commanded the cavalry for Sir John Moore's army in Spain during the Peninsular War. His cavalry showed greater superiority over their French counterparts at the Battle of Sahagún and at the Battle of Benavente, where he defeated the elite chasseurs of the French Imperial Guard. During the Hundred Days he led the charge of the heavy cavalry against Comte d'Erlon's column at the Battle of Waterloo. At the end of the battle he famously lost part of one leg to a cannonball. According to anecdote, he was close to Wellington when his leg was hit, and exclaimed, 'By God, sir, I've lost my leg!' — to which Wellington replied, 'By God, sir, so you have!'. According to his aide-de-camp, Thomas Wildman, during the amputation Paget smiled and said, 'I have had a pretty long run. I have been a beau these 47 years and it would not be fair to cut the young men out any longer.' In later life he served twice as Master-General of the Ordnance and twice as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

After Antoine-Denis Chaudet (1763-1810): A first half 19th century bronze bust of Napoleon together with a later veined rouge marble pedestalThe bust cast after 1812, the pedestal, probably late 19th / early 20th century The sitter modelled full face, a cross belt and military ornaments to his bare chest and shoulders, on integral herm base, mid to dark brown patination, the bust, 60cm, 29cm wide, 24cm deep, the pedestal, 120cm high, 35cm wide, 30cm deep overall (2)Footnotes:Provenance:The bust formerly the property of Victor Napoleon and Princess Clementine of Belgium.Thence by descent, sold Osenat, Paris, 24 March 2013, lot 79.Acquired by the present vendor in the mid 2010's along with the marble pedestal offered with this lot.The offered bronze bust is a rare cast bronze edition of a clothed variant derived from an original plainer plaster by Chaudet, arguably depicting France's most famous and influential historical figure in the guise of a Roman dignitary. In the earlier bust, dating from 1799, Chaudet depicts Napoleon with his plain shoulders tapering to a classically inspired 'herm' form base. A marble version of this bust was completed by Chaudet in 1804 and further copies were subsequently made in quantity in Carrara marble between circa 1807 and 1809. Ordered by Napoleon's sister Elisa Baciocchi, who had been presented the principality of Lucca and Massa Carrara by her brother to be displayed in public buildings, the number of these bust made was estimated to be in the region of approximately 1200 although many of these marbles were subsequently destroyed after Napoleon's defeat. From 1805, copies of this same bust in three sizes were also famously made in Sevres biscuit porcelain. The present lot is a semi-clothed bronze variant of Napoleon featuring a cross belt and military ornaments to Napoleon's chest (as opposed to the usual plain handling of this particular portrait) and this mirrors but is not a complete copy of a fully modelled plaster bust of Napoleon, raised on a socle base also featuring a crossed belt and military ornaments by Chaudet (albeit with a different handling of the face and features) from the turn of the 19th century. This distinctive belt and ornaments were also subsequently added to later Sevres biscuit porcelain cast busts of Napoleon on their herm bases dating from circa 1811 onwards dating the manufacture of this bronze bust to no earlier than 1812.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

Based on a description in Baron Norvin's Histoire de Napoleon of 1828, it depicts the Emperor on 31st March, 1814, the day Paris capitulated to the invading allied armies. His mud-spattered boots and overcoat bring to mind recent events and symbolise his soiled prestige.Delaroche was one of the most famous painters of the mid-nineteenth century, with patrons throughout Europe and beyond. Although the first of his portraits of Napoleon was produced over twenty years after his exile from Europe, (and Delaroche was barely an adult at the time of Waterloo) the authenticity of his portraits was attested by people who had seen the Emperor in his prime. Nineteenth-century patrons could not believe that the artist had not actually set eyes upon his powerful model, but there is no evidence that he had.The original version of this portrait is now in the Leipzig Museum of Fine Art. A smaller version, acquired by Queen Victoria in 1846 and now in the Royal Collection Trust, hangs at Osborne House.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * TP* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.TP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
