Continental School, 19th Century Portrait of a British Major General, head and shoulders, in uniform, possibly John Hely-Hutchinson, 2nd Earl of Donoughmore oil on canvas 37 x 30cm (14 x 12in) Other Notes: The present portrait was probably painted in the period after Waterloo when the British Army was occupying Paris. However, the lack of a Waterloo Medal might place it pre-Waterloo and post-Peninsula when British officers were serving in post-Empire France. The Waterloo Medal was not issued until 1816, so it could have been painted after Waterloo and before 23rd April 1816. The Army Gold Medal (for service by General and Field officers in the Peninsula) was issued in 1810 so the lack of it in the portrait may also point to the post-Waterloo/pre-1816 period and a Parisian artist. We are grateful to Christopher Joll for his assistance with this catalogue entry. Some craquelure - old gilt frame has chips. Oil on canvas which has been lined. There is a small dent above the sitter's left hand shoulder, otherwise the canvas is in plane. The paint layer has a network of age craquelure with some raised areas and small paint losses, most noticeable in the face and background. The varnish is semi-matte. The frame is suffering from numerous losses to the gilding.

European School, circa 1700 An Equestrian portrait traditionally said to be Muhammad ben Haddu, Moroccan Ambassador to England, on an Arab charger oil on canvas, in a painted faux marble frame 207 x 189cm (81 x 74in) Provenance: The Fairfax family of Bilbrough Manor and Newton Kyme, Yorkshire, according to the labels on the reverse; Mawley Hall, Shropshire Exhibited: York, Yorkshire Fine Art Institution, Lent by M Fairfax of Newton Kyme (according to a label on the reverse, date unknown but possibly 1889) Other Notes: The composition would seem to derive from the celebrated painting of Muhammad ben Haddu, when ambassador in England, painted by Sir Godfrey Kneller and Jan Wyck in 1684, today in the collection at Chiswick House. The sitter is clearly Turkish or a North African Arab, but despite the traditional identification of it being the Moroccan Muhammad ben Haddu and the close similarities to the known equestrian portrait of him whilst in London in 1684, both the landscape and style of the painting suggest a European origin and therefore it may well be another Turkish or North African military figure or ambassador. Oil on canvas which has been lined. The paint layer has suffered from flaking and loss in the past which is evident in the paint texture and stabilised by lining.

Poet." upper left oil on canvas 62 x 75cm (24 x 29in) Provenance: With J. Harris, Berkeley St., London. Christie's London, 18 December 1953, lot 118, as 'Thomas Gainsborough: Portrait of Thomas Chatterton, the poet' (£52.10.0 to Rudebeek). with M. Bernard, Ryder St., London.

He described the portrait as a masterpiece 'with his long flowing hair and child-like face' (2nd edition, 1856, p. 89). Sir Walter Armstrong (Gainsborough and his place in British art, 1898, pp. 110, 193 and 1904, p. 261) doubted the identification and linked Fulcher's description with a picture that once belonged to E. Naylor, describing it as 'half length. Green coat; hair falling much over the forehead and reaching to the shoulders; the face almost in profile.' It measured 22 by 18 inches. It seems unlikely that Chatterton ever sat to Gainsborough. We are grateful to Hugh Belsey for his assistance with the catalogue entry. Oil on canvas which has been lined and extended at the right hand side. The canvas is in plane with good tension.

Charles Pierre Verhulst (Belgian, 1774-1820) Portrait of Christian Cortwright Walterstorff (1790-1823), his shako and an architectural plan of a fortress beside him signed lower right "C P Verhulst fecit / Bruxelles 1804" oil on canvas 94 x 79cm (37 x 31in) Provenance: Sotheby's, London, 22 November 1989, lot 284; where purchased by the late vendor Burfield Hall, Wymondham, Norfolk Other Notes: The colour and pattern of the tunic, the pattern of the helmet and the 'clocks' on the front of the sitter's breeches are that of a Danish Cavalry Regiment. The sitter seems to be the Danish Captain Count Christian Cortwright von Walterstorff (1790-1823), who served in the Danish cavalry and was the son of Major General Count Frederick von Walterstorff (1755-1820). It is possible that Christian Cortwright was in uniform at the age of 14 (many were at that time), possibly in a Court cadet unit (like the Corps des Pages in Russia), although it is more likely that the portrait is aspirational - a proud military papa having his son depicted as the officer he was to become. The face is certainly that of a boy rather than a young man. At the date of the painting, Count Frederick was in command of the Northern Zealand Land Regiment and responsible for the defences of Copenhagen. It is possible that the sitter is holding a plan of Copenhagen's defences. We are grateful to Christopher Joll for his assistance with the catalogue entry. Old Christie's stencil - PM 984 - to the reverse. Old repaired tears. One small hole to the left of the sitter's head.

Banks, W. Views in the Lakes. c.1860s. 8vo, full green calf gilt by J. Coats & Son, Leeds, spine with contrasting morocco lettering-piece, watered silk endpapers, a.e.g; 62 engravings of the Lake District by Banks. There is no title-page to this collection of views, which is a shame, as it is not possible to be entirely sure what it is. The principal source of the images would seem to be Banks' Views of the English Lakes. However, the copies we have been able to trace are all oblong, with landscape orientation. Here, though the images are still landscape, they have been printed at the top of portrait pages - with corresponding blank space beneath. Additionally, Views appears to have had 26 plates, where this has 62. There look to be at least three distinct styles of presentation: the landscape oval vignettes mentioned above, oval portrait vignettes; and two side-by-side medallions. This does not take into consideration the variations in credits and paper-stock throughout. It is likely this was a privately-collected series, bound to order - though this does not explain the difference in page orientation, which affects the proportional harmony of the landscape images. A curious volume of Banks' attractive engravings.. Binding a touch rubbed and scuffed, a little dusty marking and occasional toned pages internally but an attractive copy.

Worsley, John Two original story board illustrations for the 1972 Anglia Television adaptation of Treasure Island, watercolour, mounted, signed and dated. Worsley was one of the youngest war artists of WWII and took part in landings in Sicily and Italy, where he was captured accompanying a group of saboteurs. He recorded prison life and created a dummy prisoner to aid in an escape attempt. ''Albert'' even had blinking eyes, created with a pendulum fashioned from a sardine can. After the war he became a portrait artist for the Royal Navy, before gaining a job with Eagle (and its distaff counterpart Girl), for which his most popular strip was P.C. 49. His resume became increasingly varied with work as a Scotland Yard police artist and the Presidency of the Royal Society of Marine Artists. Perhaps his most imaginative work came in the field of family entertainment and he produced large plates for Anglia's adaptations of Wind in the Willows, Treasure Island, Christmas Carol and The Little Grey Men. He also illustrated numerous books, including his own wartime memoirs. This adaptation of Treasure Island was evidently presented in a ''storybook'' fashion, with still-frames and a narration by Paul Honeyman, with Worsley providing the illustrations.

Jaffé wrote three substantial books on Rubens: Rubens (1967); Rubens and Italy (1977); and Rubens: catalogo completo (1989). Brunet, IV 144 ; Cicognara 353; Cohen-De Ricci 915-16. First edition of this translation of Rubens' unpublished manuscript Super Figura Humana Discursus Cabbalisticus, left in the artist's studio following his death in 1640. Jombert's version, long thought to be misleading due to its inaccurate editing and incorporation of images taken from Leonardo, has recently been re-examined and vindicated as an important and unjustly overlooked source for the aesthetic and philosophical opinions of the artist.

More (Thomas). Epigrammata clarissimi dissertissimique viri Thomae Mori Britanni ad emendatum exemplar ipsius autoris excusa, [edited by Beatus Rhenanus], Basel: Johann Froben, December 1520, 116pp., woodcut historiated title border by Hans Holbein the Younger, Roman and Greek types, historiated initials, printer's device at end, old and mostly light but occasionally heavy damp-staining, neat Elizabethan signature and motto inscription of Thomas Butt[e]s below device at end, 'Soyez sage et simple : id est : Be wyse and playne', armorial bookplate (browned) of George Becher Blomfield, now lifted and loose to reveal a second armorial bookplate of Arthur Dalrymple, bookplate browning offset to later blank front free endpapers, all edges stained red, 18th-century calf with original English early 16th century upper and lower panels inlaid, each with roll-tooled twin-head medallions and ornamental decorations [Oldham Trip. 13 & HM. 19 respectively], upper cover with blind-stamp monogram 'TB', heavily rubbed, leather loss to lowest spine compartment, 4to (209 x 154mm) (Qty: 1)NOTESProvenance: 1) Thomas Butts (ownership signature, holograph family motto and binding monogram stamp); 2) Arthur Dalrymple (bookplate); 3) George Becher Blomfield (bookplate). 1) Thomas Butts was the son of Sir William Butts the Elder (c. 1486-1545), physician to Henry VIII and the subject of Hans Holbein the Younger's well-known portrait (1543), held at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston. Sir William had three children: Sir William Butts of Thornage (c. 1506-1583), Edmund Butts of Barrow and the middle brother, Thomas Butts of Great Riburgh, Norfolk. Thomas is notable for being one of Richard Hakluyt's primary sources for his account of the English merchant and navigator Richard Hore's early voyage in 1536 to the coast of what is now Newfoundland, where his passengers allegedly engaged in cannibalism in order to survive. Hakluyt interviewed Butts some fifty years after the voyage, by which time he was very elderly and the only survivor. Hakluyt, citing Thomas Butts, says there were two ships, the Trinity , 140 tons, Capt. Hore, on which Butts sailed, and the Minion (for the William ?). With the king’s goodwill they carried 30 gentlemen on 'a voyage of discoverie upon the Northwest parts of America'. Hore took his ships to Cape Breton and then coasted southern and eastern Newfoundland to Penguin (Funk) Island, where they killed great auk and bear. At the conclusion of the voyage we learn that: 'They arrived at St. Ives in Cornewall about the ende of October. From thence they departed unto a certain Castle belonging to Sir John Luttrell, where M. Thomas Butts and M. Rastall and other Gentlemen of the voyage were very friendly entertained; after that they came to the Earle of Bathe at Bathe, and thence to Bristoll, so to London. M. Butts was so changed in the voyage with hunger and miserie that Sir William his father and my Lady his mother knew him not to be their sonne, until they found a secret marke which was a wart upon one of his knees, as hee told me Richard Hakluyt of Oxford himselfe, to whom I rode 200 miles only to learn the whole truth of this voyage from his own mouth, as being the only man now alive that was in this discoverie', (Hakluyt’s Principal Navigations , Glasgow, 1904, vol. 8, p. 7). 2) Arthur Dalrymple, a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and collector of Norfolk portraits, clerk of the peace for Norwich from 1856, and secretary of the Norwich Waterworks Company. 3) George Becher Blomfield (1801-1885) was a canon of Chester Cathedral, a position he held until his death in 1885. From 1834 until 1874 he was rector of Stevenage in Hertfordshire. During his lifetime, Blomfield published a number of sermons and was also a collector of early printed books and fine bindings, concentrating mainly on bibles, prayer or service books and some theological works. After the death of his widow, Elizabeth, in 1897, Mollington Hall and its library reverted to members of the Feilden family. Blomfield’s collection was sold at auction by Sotheby’s in 1906 on the instructions of Guy Feilden. The binding incorporates different heads-in-medallion panels on the upper and lower covers. Oldham identified three known examples of HM. 19, always used with TRIP. 13, located at U.L.C. Rel. C. 52. 1 (1525), Shrewsbury A. IX. 31 (1534) and York VI. P. 22 (1543). 'The panels HM. 18 and 19 have all the features that have been mentioned as indicating English work, and therefore all five panels, TRIP. 12 and 13, HM. 17, 18 and 19, seem certain to have been engraved in England and by the same die-cutter, quite probably at Oxford', (J.B. Oldham, Bind Panels of English Binders , (CUP, 1958), p. 49). Oldham also notes that the heads-in-medallion panels he describes rarely show any originality, 'except for TRIP. 12 and 13, which have two pairs of heads with a supper party scene between them', (ibid., p. 26). Adams M-1753; Gibson 57; VD-16 M-6296. First separate and definitive edition of More's Epigrams, establishing the authorial text and augmented with eleven new poems. It follows two editions printed by Froben in 1518 for whose errors he apologised to More, promising to reprint it more carefully. More himself revised the text, omitted two poems (one on political grounds) and added eleven new ones, including four personal poems.
