The Fair Days at KinvaraCharter of George III to Robert Gregory of Coole Lodge, Co. Galway Royal Letters patent dated 12 January, 15th of George III (1775), granting to Robert Gregory of Coole Lodge, Co. Galway, Esq., the right to hold two fairs annually and a weekly market on Wednesdays, with court of pye powder, at Kinvara. Handwritten on vellum in English, with an elaborate printed border depicting the king's portrait and the arms and emblems of Great Britain, Ireland and France. Large seal, mostly intact.Robert Gregory of Co. Galway (1727-1810) made his fortune in India and on his return home purchased several landed estates, including Coole (1768) where he built "a large house with numerous offices", Ballylee, and Kinvarra. He was assiduous in developing his estate - hence this grant of two annual fairs and a weekly market in Kinvarra. He was also an MP at Westminster, a director of the East India Company, and a friend of Charles James Fox and Edmund Burke. He supported liberal issues such as concessions to Catholics, refused to accept bribes, and denounced political corruption - all of which greatly reduced his fortune. A contemporary described him as "a very honourable, incorrupt, independent man … laborious, attentive to business" (Bridget Hourican in Dictionary of Irish Biography).His great-grandson Sir William Henry Gregory was the husband of Yeats's associate Lady Gregory, as a m/ss., w.a.f.

First Published Edition of MosadaYeats (W.B.). The Dublin University Review, issue for June 1886, containing the first printing of Yeats' poem Mosada at pp. 473-483. A little spotting at edges, part of last leaf torn (adverts) away with loss (not affecting Mosada), o.w. a fine copy as published. An offprint of 100 copies from this setting, with a portrait, was W.B. Yeats' first separate publication. A great rarity in either version, and a milestone in Irish literature. (1)Yeats later wrote in a copy, 'I wrote it when I was twenty-one & think rather sadly that when young men of that age send in like work I am not able to foresee his future or his talent.'
'Nothing Except their Prayers'Shaw (George Bernard). A charming short ALS to a Mr. O'Reilly, 1 pp, on his headed paper, 14 September 1947, thanking him for photographs and handkerchiefs. 'But as I have enough of everything that money can buy, I ask nothing from my Irish friends except their prayers, which are unpurchaseable.' With a good signature, G. Bernard Shaw. Mounted and framed, with a portrait and two printed plaques. O'Reilly, a Dublin sanitation worker, was president of the Dublin Bernard Shaw Society. (1)
Eucharistic Congress 1932A very fine pair of coloured Prints designed and published by the Dublin printer Fergus O'Connor to mark the Eucharistic Congress and the 1500th anniversary of the coming of St. Patrick to Ireland, both approx. 50cms x 38cms (20" x 15"), printed one side only in full colour, in excellent condition.The Saint Patrick print shows the grey-bearded saint in green robe holding a shamrock, in an oval, against an Irish background with round tower and Celtic cross, over the Papal crossed keys device, printed in Germany, designed and published by Fergus O'Connor, Dublin. The Eucharistic Congress print shows an elaborate crowned portrait of the Saviour, with sacred heart and crown of thorns, carrying a jewelled mace, right hand raised in blessing, presumably also printed in Germany, mounted within a separately printed rectangular border printed in Dublin, showing provincial and Celtic symbols under the Papal device. The German printers and artists are not named.An interesting and effective pair, in the highly-coloured style of the time. Presumably O'Connor could not obtain the Saviour print in a matching size to St. Patrick, so he improvised by printing a separate border himself to equalise the dimensions. (2)Fergus O'Connor first came to note as printer to the First Dail, and is best known as a publisher of pamphlets and postcards. Though well printed on heavy stock, the prints are inherently fragile, and it is likely that few survive in acceptable condition.

Samuel Lane (1780 - 1859), oil on canvas - full-length portrait of Henry John Sperling (1795 - 1882) of Dynes Hall, probably painted on the occasion of appointment as Deputy Lieutenant of Essex in 1844, unsigned, 170cm x 132cm, in fine period gilt gesso frame. Provenance: By family descent from Charles Sperling, brother of the sitter. N.B. Henry John Sperling was born in Hammerwood Park near East Grinstead. His father John Sperling was a prominent fur trader throughout Europe and owned a Dublin brewery, he commissioned the architect Latrove to build Hammerwood Park in 1792, the architect later moved to the United States where he designed the White House and other buildings. When John Sperling's business suffered as a result of the Napoleonic Wars, he was forced to sell Hammerwood Park and the family established themselves at another property which they owned, Dynes Hall, Near Great Maplestead, Essex. Henry John Sperling served in the 9th Regiment under the Duke of Wellington in 1814 - 1815 in Northern France. He married his cousin, Maria, and settled in the family seat at Dynes Hall, dying at his residence in Cannes in 1882. Henry Sperling and his family were immortalised in a series on annotated sketches made by Henry's younger sister Diana Sperling (b. 1791) and published in 1981 by Gordon Mingay under the title 'Mrs Hurst Dancing: And Other Scenes from Regency Life'. Henry features in many of the comical illustrations and is variously seen falling off a horse, playing badminton, in military uniform, etc. A copy of the book is to be included in this lot. Although unsigned, the attribution to artist Samuel Lane is supported by family tradition that he painted the work. Samuel Lane was born in Kings Lynn and painted many notable East Anglian gentry and others including Sir Philip Broke, Sir Astley Cooper, Thomas Telford and Admiral Horatio Nelson
