Early Colonial American interest Richard Phillips (British, 1681-1741), Portrait of Governor Jonathan Belcher (1682-1757) oil on canvas, inscribed on reverse of canvas "---- Jonathan Belcher of Boston New England. Anno AEtatis Suae [in the year of his age] 34 1/2 R Phillips pinxit 1716", painted in 1716 when Jonathan Belcher was 34 years old, in original early 18th century portrait frame 35¼ x 28¼in. (89.5 x 71.75cm.) * Provenance: By descent from the Chamberlayne family of Stoneythorpe Hall Warwickshire, England. The family had lived there since the 1600s. Thermuthes Chamberlayne married the son of the Governor of Virginia in 1797.** Notes: A significant Colonial portrait of one of the most interesting and influential figures in early American history. Jonathan Belcher became Governor of the Province of New Jersey from 1747 to 1757 and is regarded today as the founder of Princeton University. He was born on 8th January 1682 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the son of Captain Andrew Belcher and Sarah Gilbert. He descended from the Belcher family of Guilsborough, Northamptonshire. He graduated from Harvard College in 1699 and in 1704 embarked upon a grand tour of Europe, visiting Holland, Germany and England where he met Princess Sophia and the future George II. In 1706 he married his first wife, Mary Partridge, the daughter of a former lieutenant governor of New Hampshire. In 1715 Jonathan Belcher made another trip to England where he defended Massachusetts' charter privileges and helped Governor Samuel Shute in his bid to become Governor of Massachusetts and New Hampshire, which he accomplished in October 1716. It was during Jonathan Belcher's visit to England in 1715/16 that Richard Phillips (1681-1741) painted this portrait. Richard Phillips was born in London in 1681 and, as far as it is known, he lived there until the end of his life in 1741. He was a principally a portrait painter and developed a prestigious client list including politicians and landowners and there are portraits by him in the National Portrait Gallery and Bank of England. Some of his portraits were engraved. A mezzotint of Jonathan Belcher was published in 1734 after a copperplate engraving by the Dutch portrait engraver John Faber the Younger (1684-1756), who was active in London. This was derived from a portrait by Richard Phillips, potentially the present picture. Copies of the mezzotint survive but not the engraving. Belcher ordered the plate to be destroyed and all impressions taken from it. The mezzotint depicts the sitter as Royal Governor of Massachusetts Bay and New Hampshire prior to becoming Governor of New Jersey. Although the coat and background are notably different the head and hand bear a very close resemblance to the portrait offered here. A full length portrait by Richard Phillips is recorded as having been presented to Princeton College by Jonathan Belcher at the time that he donated his extensive library. Sadly, this portrait was destroyed during the American Revolution. The portrait offered here is therefore a very significant discovery as it is the most authentic likeness of an historic figure from America's Colonial past. * Condition: Original strainer. The canvas is unlined but is badly torn in several places, including a horizontal six inch tear to the left of the face and a large puncture in the centre of the coat. The canvas is partly detached from the strainer on the left side. There are four patches on the reverse and old fillings. The surface is very dirty and the varnish has discoloured. There is evidence of paint shrinkage in the dark areas where the artist has mixed bitumen with the pigment.

Day & Murrie, English Song-Books 1651-1702, 183; Wing B3353. The English composer John Blow (1649-1708) was organist at Westminster Abbey, a post he generously passed to his pupil Henry Purcell in 1679, until he resumed the role following Purcell’s untimely death in 1695. Blow’s music, alongside that of other English Baroque composers, has undergone a significant revival in recent decades, led particularly in England by Anthony Rooley with the Consort of Musicke, and Peter Holman and the Parley of Instruments. His Amphion Anglicus brings together both sacred and secular songs in a single publication, and is modelled on Purcell’s own collection of 1698, Orpheus Britannicus .

Auction Catalogue. A Catalogue of a Large, Extensive, and Valuable Parcel of Books, in Every Science, and in Most Languages; being the Genuine Library of George Galwey Mills, Esq. (gone to the West Indies,) removed from Slaughter-House in the County of Gloucester... which will be sold by auction, by Mr. Jeffery, at No. 11 Pall-Mall, on Monday, the 24th of February, 1800, and the twelve following days, (Sundays excepted.) Beginning each day exactly at one o'clock, [1800], ordinary paper edition (with 4 lines of lot description on title-page, as opposed to 5 lines on that of the large paper edition), lacking A1 (blank?), first two leaves adhered to front blank along gutter (with some consequent tears), occasional ink and pencil marginalia, title-page spotted, stab holes to gutter margins, marbled endpapers, remboîtage binding of late 18th century scarlet morocco, some marks and extremities rubbed, smooth spine gilt panelled and with musical trophy tool in centre of each compartment, covers with wide gilt border of hound's tooth roll, metope and pentaglyph roll, ribbon and fleuron roll, and scrolling fern roll, metope and pentaglyph roll repeated on edges and turn-ins, tall 8vo in 4s (Qty: 1)ESTC T7945. Rare and important sale catalogue; no other copy found at auction. The library of George Galwey Mills MP (1765-1828) was an impressive one by any standards, and yet he died in debt and at his own hand. Mills was born on St. Kitts, and inherited his father's plantations, although he appeared to spend much of his life in England. He served as a Member of Parliament for Wallingford, Mitchell and Winchelsea. In 1806 he was imprisoned for debt, amounting to some £43,000. He committed suicide in 1828, shooting himself through the head, whilst in New South Wales serving as Registrar of the Supreme Court. The inquest reported that Mills had showed signs of derangement before he died, and had made mention of monetary difficulties. Amongst the treasures listed in this library sale, which was presumably an attempt by Mills to raise funds, is the Sherborne Missal, and a Shakespeare First Folio (lots 1459 and 166 respectively). Mills was the first recorded English owner of the Sherborne Missal, the largest and most lavishly decorated English service book to survive from the Middle Ages, now in the British Library. He acquired the volume in 1797 (it bears his bookplate), and it was purchased at Jeffery's auction by Hugh Percy, 2nd Duke of Northumberland for £215. It remained in the possession of the Dukes of Northumberland at Alnwick Castle until deposited on loan at the British Library by the 10th Duke in 1983, and obtained for the nation in July 1998. Mills's copy of Shakespeare's First Folio (with portrait) fetched £10 10 shillings (Anthony James West, The Shakespeare First Folio: The History of the Book , 2002, p.301). The volume merits only two lines of letterpress in the catalogue, compared to six lines devoted to the following lot, a Johnson and Steevens 1793 set of Shakespeare's Plays .

Stringer (Thomas, 1722-1790). Portrait of Rake, 1770, oil on canvas, depicting a setting dog (with the general appearance of a red setter), wearing a leather collar with brass label inscribed 'H. Streatfeild Esq. Chiddingstone Kent', standing in a landscape with trees, a lake, and a church, with rocks in the foreground bearing the inscription 'Rake painted on 12 Augt 1770 by T. Stringer', some craquelure, professionally restored and re-lined, 66.5 x 97 cm (26.25 x 38.25 ins), framed (Qty: 1)The Streatfeilds are an historic English family from Chiddingstone, Kent. They were significant landowners in Sussex, Surrey and Kent, and the family seat was Chiddingstone Castle. Robert Streatfeild (1514-1599) is recognised as the common ancester of most living Streatfeilds, and amongst a number of illustrious descendants was author Noel Streatfeild (1895–1986). There are still direct descendants of his living in Chiddingstone. Thomas Stringer was an English painter specialising in oils of horses and dogs, who lived and worked in Knutsford, Cheshire. He began his working career as a servant in the employ of Peter Legh of Booths Hall, Knutsford, but after an argument with his employer, left to begin a full-time career as an artist, in which he was much encouraged by the local gentry. Stringer's compositions are often instantly recognisable by some of the disinctive techniques he employed, such as painting part of his subject matter disappearing behind another part of the composition, the nonchalant crossing of a sitter's legs, or inscribed tablets or rocks identifying the subject, as here.
