A LITHOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT OF LORD KITCHENER FRAMED IN HAMPSHIRE WRECK WOOD, CIRCA 1916, by Thomas Forman & Sons after Cecil Cutler (1886-1934), mount of issue with title and publisher, contained within plain wood frame with engraved brass historical provenance plate on lower edge. Overall size -- 24 x 17½in. (61 x 44.5cm.), One of the most recognised characters from the Great War -- the recruiting poster bearing his face is possibly the most famous and imitated poster ever designed. At 4.45pm on 5th June 1916 Kitchener embarked the cruiser Hampshire at Scappa Flow on a secret mission to Tsarist Russia. Rough seas saw their destroyer escorts return earlier than intended and, just three hours after departure, Hampshire hit a mine off the Orkneys, sinking within fifteen minutes. Of the 655 crew and 7 passengers, only 12 survived clinging to two Carley floats, but included none of Kitchener's party who were last seen on the sloping deck in their greatcoats. The wood of this frame comes from an empty ships boat that was washed ashore, the only contemporary wreckage salvaged.

(43 x 56cm.), One of five sisters built by P&O for the Indian and Australian service (the others being India, China, Arabia and Persia) they were the largest additions yet made when completed in 1897.

She sank on 20th May, 1922, in 20 minutes with the loss of eighty-six souls and bullion then valued at 1, 054, 000 (about 28.5 million today).

ALBIN ROBERTS BURT (BRITISH, 1783-1842), Portrait of Lord Nelson circa 1802, Signed 'A R Burt' (lower right on shoulder), Pencil on silk framed within contemporary gilt brass and wood frame, Image -- 1¾in. (4.5cm.) diameter, Provenance: UK Private Collection. This attractive and unrecorded portrait is highly distinctive for being executed on silk, a very rare medium for any artist to choose and, indeed, no other example is recorded for this artist suggesting this was an image done from life on a napkin or handkerchief. A. R. Burt would have been uniquely placed to do this as his brother, Henry Frederick Burt was secretary to Lord Nelson, his mother was a close friend of Emma Hamilton, and Albin himself was a friend of Sir William Hamilton. Burt began his life as an engraver, training under Robert Threw and Benjamin Smith but branched out and an advert he applied to the back of some of his pictures states he had New invented a machine by which the most accurate likenesses can be taken. Can with confidence recommend his portraits to the public, especially as the practice of many Thousands has give his Pencil a facility that enables him to afford the coloured Profiles at / Half-a-Guinea each / and more finished at 1 Guinea. This image - in any format - is not recorded in the late Richard Walker's seminal 1998 volume The Nelson Portraits and, perhaps not surprisingly, is not recorded in the same author's 1985 volume Regency Portraits. It must therefore be considered an important discovery. Charles Miller Ltd would like to thank Claudia Hill of Ellison Fine Art for her invaluable assistance with this lot.
