JOHN CALCOTT HORSLEY RA (BRITISH 1817 - 1903), MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS IN CAPTIVITY oil on canvas, signed 137cm x 190cm (54 x 75 inches) Framed Exhibited: London, Royal Academy, 1871, no. 193; Edinburgh, Royal Scottish Academy, 1876, no. 321; London, Royal Academy, Works by Recently Deceased Members of the Academy, 1904, no. 132; Edinburgh, Scottish National Portrait Gallery and Mappin Gallery, Sheffield The Queen's Image; A Celebration of Mary Queen of Scots, 1987 Literature: Helen Smailes and Duncan Thomson, The Queen's Image; A Celebration of Mary Queen of Scots, 1987 Provenance: William H. Smith, M.P., London by 1876; Hon. W. F. D. Smith by 1904 ; Private collection. Sotheby's Scottish & Sporting Pictures 29 August 2007 lot 2 sold £45,600 (premium) Private collection Edinburgh. Note When the painting was first exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in 1871, the following words accompanied it: "Mary, at twenty-six years of age, was consigned to the charge of the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury, and remained captive in their custody for nearly sixteen years. There was little love lost between the Countess and her loyal prisoner. The former, familiarly known as Bess of Hardwick, was a woman of strong character and imperious disposition." Mary is dressed in black at a mullioned window of her bedchamber where she has been held captive for many years. She is feeding doves that have flown to the open window from the world outside that she cannot return to. The contrast of their freedom and her captivity is made more pathetic by the entry into the scene of the cruel-faced Bess of Hardwick who clutches the warrant for Mary's execution which will finally release her from her captivity. Her young page who has been holding a plate of bread from which she feeds the birds, hangs his head in grief and her hand-maidens are startled by Bess and the Earl of Shrewsbury's approach.The little dog at her feet and the religious triptych add to the symbolism, denoting fidelity and piety whilst the abandoned lute suggests the silence of lost romance.
* PHILIP WILLIAM MAY RI RP NEAC (BRITISH 1864-1903),GOLFERpencil on paper, signed19cm x 14cmMounted, framed and under glass.Note: Sometimes referred to as the 'grandfather of British illustration', Phil May was one of the most influential black-and-white artists of his generation. Earthy, street-wise, and redolent of the music hall, his work is the antithesis of that of Aubrey Beardsley. Phil May's work is represented in numerous public collections, including the British Museum, the National Portrait Gallery, Tate and the V&A; Leeds Art Gallery; and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and the National Library of Australia (Canberra).
Central Asia.- Wolff (Rev. Joseph) Travels and Adventures..., 2 vol., second edition, lithographed portrait (lightly foxed), 3pp. errata in vol.1, old library stamp of John Brymer at head of titles, contemporary half tree calf, gilt, spines gilt with red and green roan labels, 8vo, 1860; with a song sheet composed by Lady Georgiana M.Wolff (the author's wife) signed and extensively inscribed by Joseph Wolff in English and Farsi (3)⁂ Joseph Wolff (1795-1862), a German Jew, converted to Christianity when young and eventually became vicar of Isle Brewers in Somerset. After studying oriental languages at Tubingen he set off on various missionary expeditions to the East, generally full of adventure. At one point he was briefly made a slave and after his redemption had to walk from Bokhara to Kabul with no clothes, while in India the Governor-General's wife thought he was dangerously close to insanity. In 1843 he made a second journey to Bokhara to discover the fate of Stoddart and Conolly, two British diplomats who had already been executed by the Amir of Bokhara, and was lucky to escape with his own life. In 1827 he had married Lady Georgiana Mary Walpole, who wrote the music for the song sheet to raise money for a school-room at Isle Brewers. The sheet is inscribed (in both English and Farsi) "The amiable Georgina, daughter of Copes Esq., the ornament of all ladies of Europe has bought this paper from Joseph Wolff the Dervish" and further "If this lady...would give me her heart I would give for one mole of her cheek all the treasure of Samarkand & Bokhara".
