*Cedric Morris (1889-1982) GYPSY QUEEN CARAVANS IN A SUSSEX MEADOW Signed, dedicated 'To Phyllis...' and dated 1927 l.r., oil on canvas 46 x 59cm, unframed The present lot is an early work from 1927, and painted by Morris for his own pleasure. The dedication in the bottom right-hand corner of the painting 'to Phyllis from Cedric 1927' is to the vendor’s mother Phyllis Pitcairn Gage-Brown, who was a childhood friend of Paul Odo Cross, the son of an American heiress and a close friend of Cedric at that time. (See Morris’s portrait of Odo-Cross, 1925, National Museum of Wales). Gage-Brown owned one of the caravans that appear in the picture and Odo Cross, who was known by the nickname 'Bud', the other. It had been the norm for the group to 'play' at camping together at Socknersh Manor, the East Sussex estate owned by Cross’s mother. Cross’s gypsy caravan later moved with him to Tidcombe Manor in Wiltshire where he lived with the horticulturalist Angus Wilson. The vendor remembers seeing it when he cycled there from Marlborough for tea in the late 1940s. It was Wilson who first introduced Morris to the possibilities of iris breeding in 1934. Irises would become his great passion; while painting and teaching, he cultivated more than ninety new named varieties, many carrying the prefix 'Benton'. At the time the picture was painted, Morris was working from a studio at Great Ormond Street and had joined the Seven and Five Society of London painters and sculptors. *Artist's Resale Right may apply to this lot.

This copy is of the issue bearing Ziletti's device on the title. Born in Sermoneta, Fabrizio Caroso was a protégé of Felice Maria Orsini Caetani (d. 1596), Duchess of Sermoneta. He spent most of his life in Rome, where he was active as a dancer, 'inventore di scene', dance master, musician and composer. He was the last proponent of the Renaissance Italian dance style, opposing the French danse noble, which had begun to spread across Europe in the last decades of the 15th century. Caroso was not only a practicing dancer, but also a refined theorist, and this work, dedicated to Bianca Capello, provides a vast amount of detail about the dances of the period. The first part illustrates 55 rules for steps, while the more lengthy second part describes 76 separate dances, including the alta, bassa, balletto, pavan, cascarda, saltarello and spagnoletta. Each dance is supplemented with a poem in praise of a different woman, mostly members of Roman noble families, and includes musical notation for the lute. Each of the dances under discussion is designed for one or more pairs of dancers. Throughout the work, Caroso celebrates the concept of 'nobil vivere', and the figure of the well-educated dancer- courtesan. The 22 full-page copper engravings are executed by the renowned artist Giacomo Franco and depict the positions of dancers at the beginning of each of the various dances and cumulatively represent a precious iconographic source not only for the history of dance, but also for that of fashion and the culture of the period in general. Literature: Adams C-755; Mortimer Italian, 106; RISM C, p. 1233; Gregory & Bartlett I, 53; Lipperheide 3055; P. D. Magriel, A Bibliography of Dancing, pp. 42-44; A.

Digby (Sir Kenelm, natural philosopher and courtier, 1603-65) Autograph Letter signed to Robert Sidney, second Earl of Leicester, 1p. with address panel, sm. 4to, London, 21st June 1637, writing to "My good lorde... to congratulate wth. you the happy conclusion of the treaty you have carried and effected wth. so much honor", and hoping to visit Paris in about three weeks time and visit him to "kisse yr. handes", tears where opened repaired, left margin laid down on modern paper for an album, folds, slightly browned.⁂ Autograph material by Sir Kenelm Digby is extremely scarce. Digby's premature congratulations to the Earl of Leicester on a putative Anglo-French treaty. Robert Sidney, second Earl of Leicester (1595-1677), diplomat and landowner. In April 1636 Charles I sent Leicester as ambassador-extraordinary to Louis XIII of France, seconding the mission of the ambassador-in-ordinary, Viscount Scudamore, whose negotiations with the French had proved unsuccessful. Despite working hard for a projected Anglo-French agreement, other factors such as intrigues against Cardinal Richelieu, and secret talks with the exiled Marie de Medici, doomed the treaty from the start.Kenelm Digby, the elder son of Sir Everard Digby (c. 1578-1606), executed for his part in the Gunpowder Plot. Digby was a man of many parts, including, as a courtier (he was a friend of Charles I and was known to Cromwell), poet, traveller, book collector, author and inventor. In 1625 he married the beautiful Venetia Stanley, a childhood friend who he mourned extravagantly when she died in 1633 (Van Dyck made the death-mask for a deathbed portrait); he travelled extensively, fighting a naval action against Venetian galleys off Iskenderun, and living successively in France and Italy. One of Digby's main claims to fame were his chemical experiments, including the renowned Powder of Sympathy, made "... from dried green vitriol, this was a variant of the well-known Paracelsian 'weapon salve' which cured wounds by being applied, not to the patient, but to the offending weapon. Digby had cured his friend James Howell, then the duke of Buckingham's secretary, of a sword-cut in the hand by dissolving some powdered vitriol crystals in water and plunging into the mixture a cloth stained with blood from the wound. The pain in Howell's hand, some yards away, immediately ceased. Many were convinced by Digby's evidence, including Joseph Glanvill, later a Royal Society fellow, and Nathaniel Highmore, a distinguished anatomist and friend of William Harvey. In fact the cure lay in washing and bandaging the wound." - Oxford DNB.
