Many of the expedition died as a result and one was murdered by a previously-friendly Iroquois voyageur. Sir John Richardson (1787-1865), physician, naturalist and Arctic explorer, who accompanied Franklin on the expedition as a surgeon and naturalist. He wrote the appendices on geology, fishes and botany for the present work. He was also the one who executed the murderous Iroquois, claiming that it was justified, a decision which received criticism on their return home but which was supported by Franklin. He later accompanied Franklin on his second expedition of 1825-27, but not the ill-fated third expedition of 1845 on which all the members disappeared, but he did set out with a search party in 1848 which was unsuccessful.

Henry Scott TUKE (1858-1929) Oil on canvas Portrait of Mrs Thomas Dash of Falmouth Signed with initials & dated 1878 23.25” x 19.25” (59cm x 48.9cm) Notes: an early painting by Tuke when he was just 20 years of age. The sitter is Mrs Thomas Dash (nee Mary Osler) who was about 75 years old. She was born one of nine children of Edward Osler of and Mary Osler (nee Paddy) of Falmouth. Mary married Thomas Dash in c.1838 and they had four children. Her husband was an oyster merchant. The great medical practitioner William Osler, Bart.M.D. F.R.S. was Mary’s nephew the eighth child of her brother Featherstone Lake Osler and Ellen Free Pickton born in Canada July 12th 1849. In William Osler’s book on his life life mention is made of him studying Tuke’s fathers book. In Henry Scott Tuke’s diary (1924-5) reference is made to Tuke visiting the Osler family. Tukes father was in Falmouth in 1878 and clearly the two families must have got to know each other. Tuke painted Mrs Dash in 1878 the year before he started the Tuke Registers. He exhibited in the Polytechnic Exhibition in 1878 and 1879 perhaps this portrait.

Sir Samuel Luke FILDES (1843-1927) Oil on canvas ‘Portrait of Winifred Ellerman’ (1894-1983) (aka Annie Winifred Ellerman whose pen name was Bryher  Inscribed in black ink on the backing board  Signed and dated 1914  41” x 31” (104cm x 78.7cm) Note: The sitter was the daughter of Sir John Ellerman (1862-1933) shipping tycoon and  financier who  was the richest man in the United Kingdom at the time of his death. Winifred  was 20/21 years old at  the time the portrait was completed. It was probably commissioned for  her ‘coming of age’.  Note on the artist: Sir Samuel Luke Fildes originally produced illustrations for ‘The Graphic’  magazine but gave up working for the magazine in 1870. He turned his full attention to oil  painting. He took rank among the ablest English painters, with The Casual Ward (1874), The  Widower (1876), The Village Wedding (1883), An Al-fresco Toilette (1889); & The  Doctor (1891), all now in Tate Britain. He also painted a number of pictures of Venetian life and  many notable portraits, among the best known being portraits commemorating  the coronation of King  Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. He was elected an Associate of  the Royal Academy (A.R.A.) in  1879, and a Royal Academician (R.A.) in 1887; and  was knighted by King Edward VII in 1906. In  1918 he was appointed as Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order by King George V. Provenance: Exhibited Royal Academy 1915 No.27 Illustrated Annie Winifred Ellerman was born in September 1894 in Margate to the shipping magnate and financier John Ellerman who at the time of his death was the richest Englishman who ever lived.  He lived with Winifred’s mother, Anna Glover, but did not marry her until 1908, 14 years after Winifred’s birth.  John Ellerman had little interest in public recognition and his lifestyle was unostentatious. As a child, Winifred travelled widely to France, Italy and Egypt and the Mediterranean and on occasions on family holidays to the island of Bryher one of the Scilly Islands. She later used the pseudonym ‘Bryher’, her favourite island, as her pen name. This name she used for the remainder of her writing career as well as everything else she participated in to free herself from the bonds and obligations on what it was meant to ‘be an Ellerman’. During the 1920’s Bryher was an unconventional figure in Paris and among her circle friends was Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, Gertrude Stein, Sylvia Beach and Berenice Abbott. Her wealth enabled her to give financial support to struggling writers including Joyce and Edith Sitwell. She also helped with finance with Sylvia Beach’s book shop ‘Shakespeare and Company’ and certain publishing ventures.  She started a film company ‘Pool Group’ and provided funds to purchase a flat in Paris for the destitute Dada artist and writer Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven. Another member of this group was Hilda Doolittle the celebrated imagist poet known as H.D who became Bryher’s life-long partner for more than 40 years, until her death in 1961. Bryher helped to raise H.D’s daughter, Perdita, (who became Mrs John Schaffner of New York), later Bryher’s adopted daughter and heir. Although she married twice, Winifred had no questions about her sexuality and explored that aspect of life to the fullest.  On a trip to America in 1921, she married her first husband Robert McAlmon to escape the control of her parents. At that time she moved with H.D. to Switzerland with H.D’s daughter. In 1927 Bryher divorced McAlmon and married Kenneth Macpherson who was also H.D’s lover. They adopted H.D’s daughter, Perdita. Together Macpherson, H.D. and Bryher not only founded the film company ‘Pool Group’ but also the advant-garde cinema journal ‘Close-Up’. Bryher herself appeared in a film ‘Borderline’ in 1930. In 1933 Bryher wrote an article in the ‘Close-Up’ ‘What Shall we do in the War?’ where she wrote about the situation of Jews in Germany, urging readers to take action. Her home in Switzerland became a receiving station for refugees and she helped more than 100 people from Nazi persecution, before being forced to flee herself in 1940. They included intellectuals, analysts, artists and their families. She also established the Hanns Sachs Training Fund for refugee analysts arriving in the US. During the Second World War she lived in London. Bryher wrote poems and literary criticism but is better known for historical novels. The first of these she wrote 1952 when she was 58 years old. Most are set in Britain during various eras including the Roman. They are considered to be well researched and vivid set in times of turmoil and scenes from a perspective of a young man. They were acclaimed in her own time and in recent times have been re-discovered and re-printed In summary: - Selina E. Kusch wrote in the ‘The Bryher Chronology’ in 2014 - “Bryher was an avid supporter and vocal advocate of international film, psychoanalysis, political freedom, anti fascism, progress in myriad forms and just plain modernity”.  A remarkable woman of her time a corner stone of modernism as an artistic movement who cared little for normal social conventions.

Rosalba Carriera (Italian, 1673-1757) Portrait of a gentleman, possibly a member of the Wade family Pastel on paper, held in an 18th century gilt wood frame 22 x 16½in. (56 x 42cm.) * Provenance: By descent from the Wade family. This recently discovered portrait is a fine example of Rosalba Carriera's work; the pose being quite typical, with the composition overall reflecting other known works finished during the mid 1720s - though she never appears to have signed, and rarely dated, any of her pastels. Previously unrecorded it has passed by descent through the same family since the 18th century. The identity of the sitter has traditionally been thought to be that of Field Marshal George Wade (1673-1748), but this cannot be possible given various factors most obviously the youth of the sitter and the proposed dateline of the work. Wade died unmarried but left four illegitimate children, including two sons George (1721-1799) and John (1720-1799) both of whom became soldiers. The date proposed for this portrait suggests, however, that it cannot represent either son and is therefore perhaps a record of a more distant relative to the Field Marshal, with an extensive branch of the family having originated from Ireland. Rosalba found great popularity amongst the visiting British gentry and nobility to Venice in the first half of the eighteenth century. Increasingly in demand her studio became a favourite haunt for many Grand tourists who eagerly required their likenesses to be recorded during their time in Italy, perhaps most notably Horace Walpole and Henry Fiennes-Clinton, later 2nd Duke of Newcastle. * CONDITION: Has been examined out of frame - frame had not been disturbed for many decades. No inscriptions or writing to back. Reverse of stretcher lined with cloth to dust proof but paper not laid down.
