Follower of Sir Anthony van Dyck, portrait of Margareta de Vos, oil on ceramic, 52cm by 37.5cmNote: Margareta de Vos was the sister of the two Antwerp painters Cornelis and Paul de Vos. In 1611 she married Frans Snyders, the still life and animal painter, who was a friend of Anthony van Dyck and collaborated with his master Peter Paul Rubens. Van Dyck painted both Frans and Margareta, and this picture is clearly related to the portrait in the Frick Collection, New York.

*A Rare Sudan Campaign Officer’s ‘Bahr-El-Ghazal’ Exploration Group of 6 awarded Major Ronald Anthony Markham, Coldstream Guards. An important and largely unsung figure in the early exploration of the Bahr-el-Ghazal region, he is a rare and officially confirmed officer recipient of the Bahr-el-Ghazal clasp, serving as A.D.C. to Sirdar Sir Reginald Wingate between 1900 and late 1901. He travelled up the White Nile from Khartoum on 3 July 1901 with Pasha Von Slatin in the gunboat ‘Sheikh’ to deliver important communications from the Sirdar to local commandants in the region, and to seek news from the Austin-Bright Survey Expedition in July 1901. In the course of this journey he travelled inland, meeting and negotiating with local Sheikhs and tribal leaders. Serving later in the Great War, he was second in command of the 2nd Coldstream Guards when he received a bullet to the temple and later died of wounds on 25 October 1914 at St. Julien, comprising: 1911 Coronation; Turkey, Order of the Medjidie, Officer’s 4th class breast badge in silver, gold and enamels, reverse engraved (Capt: R. A. Markham. Coldstream Gds); Khedive’s Sudan, 1896-1908, 2 clasps, Sudan 1899, Bahr-el-Ghazal 1900-02 (Capt: R. A. Markham. Coldstream Gds), these three court-mounted on bar with reverse brooch pin; 1914 Star with loose clasp ‘5th Aug.-22nd Nov. 1914’ (Major R. A. Markham. C. Gds.), with fitted black leather case; British War and Victory Medals (Major R. A. Markham.), with original boxes of issue; Trio loose, toned, extremely fine, with some lustre (6) Turkey, Order of the Medjidie, 4th Class: London Gazette: 19 April 1901 M.i.D.: London Gazette: 8 October 1914, and 14 January 1915 “Major Ronald Anthony Markham (1870-1914) was born on 15 October, 1870 at West Cowes, Isle of Wight, and was the only surviving son of the late Colonel William Thomas Markham (and Annie Markham), of Becca Hall, Yorkshire, who served in the Crimean War in the Rifle Brigade and Coldstream Guards, and grandson of Sir Francis Grant, P.R.A (‘The Bond of Sacrifice’, Volume I, refers). He was also cousin to Sir Clements Markham, who became President of the Royal Geographical Society, and was an important and ardent advocate of Polar exploration (in particular, helping to organise Scott’s ‘Discovery Expedition’ of 1901-04). Educated at Charterhouse, Ronald Markham received his first commission as Second Lieutenant in the 3rd Prince of Wales Volunteers on 16 April 1889, afterwards joining the Coldstream Guards in December 1890, becoming Lieutenant in August 1896 and Captain in December 1899.” He took part in the first advance against the Khalifa in the Nile Expedition of 1899, for which he received the Khedive’s Sudan medal and clasp, and then between August 1899 and August 1903 he served as a Bimbashi with the Egyptian Army, acting as A.D.C to Sirdar Reginald Wingate (Governor General of the Sudan) from April 1900 to December 1902. For this service he received the Order of the Medjidie, 4th Class on 19 April 1901. After the murder of Bimbashi Scott Barbour on 10 January 1902 and the subsequent punitive expedition, there was much tension and potential danger in the region. A few months later, Bimbashi Markham was sent on an expedition up the White Nile from Khartoum (with Pasha Von Slatin) in the gunboat ‘Sheikh’ with several private communications from the Sirdar to the local commandants. Leaving on 3 July 1902, his expedition took several weeks. As recorded in The Sudan Intelligence Report No.84 (1st to 31st July 1901): ‘Bimbashi Markham left Khartoum on the 3rd instant in the gunboat “Sheikh” for Sobat, Baro, and Pibor rivers to endeavour to open up communication with the Austin-Bright Survey Expedition, about which no news is as yet forthcoming. He carried letters from the Sirdar to the commandants of the Abyssinian posts at Gore and in the neighbourhood of Lake Rudolf, as well as one for Major Austin himself. Whether any of the letters will ever reach their destinations is extremely doubtful, as the tribes who will have to provide the messengers are for the most part hostile to the Abyssinians.’ His own letters written back to Sirdar Wingate, from Sobat, dated 29 July 1901, give an insight into the great variety of dangers and difficulties which he encountered: ‘My Dear General…I got to Nasser on the 20th July and next day interviewed Sheikh Luantia (of the Nuer), and after a great deal of haggling, backsheeshing, finally told him he would incur your displeasure if he didn’t provided 2 guides for 3 men I had found in Nasser, willing to take the letters, but ignorant of the way…our transport occasionally got badly bogged; sleep at nights was an impossibility, mosquitoes beat all description. On the way we had a few adventures – at one village, where apparently white men have never been…a woman came by carrying a pitcher of water – she took one look at me, dropper her pitcher – then ran round us yelling and screaming…One night our poor donkey, which was not more than three yards from me was attacked and badly bitten by a hyena which got into the long grass before I could get my gun out…’ Markham was also with Miralai Sparkes Bey, Commandant of the Bahr-El-Ghazal Expedition, when they arrived at Khartoum from Wau on 28 September 1901. Markham had joined him from Meshra er Rek, as mentioned in Sudan Intelligence Report No.86 (1st to 30th September 1901). While he is not listed amongst the 7 recipients of the Bahr-el-Ghazal Cigarette cases issued by Sparkes Bey, his presence as an officer and key figure at precisely the same time is confirmed in contemporary sources, as well as in a formal letter concerning the issue of his Bahr-El-Ghazal clasp (a copy of which is included with this group). He was promoted to Major in 1907. Serving afterwards during the Great War, he took part in much of the early fighting of 1914, and was hit with a bullet to his temple at St. Julien, France, on the 23rd October 1914, dying two days later. At the time of his death he was Second in Command of his battalion. He was mentioned in Sir John French’s Despatches of the 8th October 1914, and the 14th January 1915. He was a member of the Guards’ Nulli Secundus, and the Turf Clubs; also of the M.C.C. and I Zingari. He was fond of cricket and shooting, and was a very keen and hard rider to hounds. He was born at Melton Mowbray, from which place he had hunted all his life, and is buried in Sysonby Churchyard. An early casualty of the Great War (during which the repatriation of the bodies of officers and soldiers was still possible), he is remembered with honour at the Sysonby Churchyard, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire. Offered with: two original M.i.D. certificates in original O.H.M.S. envelope; a formal portrait photograph taken by G. Lekegian of Cairo; a formal portrait photograph of the recipient on horseback during a hunt by Heawood’s of Leicester; a privately printed diary recording Markham’s service in 1914; a hand-typed copy of the Diary of Lieutenant-Colonel C. E. Pereira’s 1914 service with an accompanying handwritten letter dated 5 November 1915; delivery letters for his Great War trio; an official copy of his last will and testament; and a quantity of related research.
