Circle of Hayman. Portrait of Alexander Pendarves of Roskrow. Oil on canvas. Circa 1705. 74 X 61cm. (See illustration) Alexander Pendarves (1662 - 1726) was a wealthy Cornish landowner and Tory politician, being Member of Parliament for Penryn, Saltash, Helston and Launceston. His estate was at Roskrow, a large property near Penryn. He is most notable for his second marriage. At the age of 60, he secured himself Mary Granville as a bride. She was just 17. Mary was the niece of his friend and political ally Lord Landsdowne, who emotionally blackmailed her into the marriage, assuring her of security and financial independence for her family. Mary was an intelligent and engaging writer and fortunately much of her correspondence survived (see Lot 58). She describes Pendarves, who she called Gromio, thus: "He was excessively fat, of a brown complexion, negligent in his dress, and took a vast quantity of snuff which gave him a dirty look: his eyes were black, small, lively and sensible; he had a honest countenance but altogether a person rather disgusting than engaging." Pendarves was often gout ridden, he was a drunk and he was insanely jealous. For eight miserable years Mary bore her marriage with grace and fortitude. She was 25 when he died and after all that she had endured, it transpired that he hadn't changed his will. She was left with nothing but a small widows pension. The estate of Roskrow went to his niece Mary Bassett of Tehidy. Despite this very unfortunate start in life, Mary Pendarves, (later becoming Mrs Delany) blossomed into one of the 18th Century's most enchanting figures. By the 1780s she had acquired an almost legendary status, embodying the virtues of the passing age of enlightenment: propriety, style and wit, this combined with her kindness and goodness of heart made her greatly loved by a huge circle of friends - many of which are some of the great names of the age: Handel, Hogarth, Swift, Pope, Garrick. She was wooed by John Wesley and painted by Opie. She is best known for her beautiful, botanically accurate, flower collages, of which there are nearly a 1000. An astonishing project which she began at the age of 72. They are now housed in the British Museum. Her creativity drew her to the attention of George III and Queen Charlotte, who became so fond of her that they moved her to Windsor to be near them in her final years. Her extraordinary life has been the subject of several books.

Lincoln, Abraham (1809-1865) Photographic Portrait by Alexander Gardner (1821-1882) Washington, D.C., 9 August 1863. Large oval photograph on an evenly-toned beige paper, depicting Lincoln in a three-quarter view, with touch-ups along eyebrows, eyelids, pupils, the edges of the nostrils, and a line where the lips meet, in a period mahoghany oval frame with inner gilt oval, 21 x 16 in. overall, the photograph itself, 15 x 12 in. O-121 from Charles Hamilton and Lloyd Ostendorf`s Lincoln in Photographs. According to the diary of John Hay, Lincoln`s secretary, on Sunday August 9, 1863, Hay and the President went to Alexander Gardner`s photo studio for a portrait session. Gardner used two cameras on the occasion, one with four lenses that took four images on a single plate at once, and a single-lens camera. Gardner`s studio would officially open to the public on the following day, and Lincoln wished to be the photographer`s first subject. A Sunday was chosen so that the President might avoid, in his words, curiosity seekers. Lincoln`s hair and whiskers are so distinctive, and often unruly, their appearance helps to place each of his known portraits. In this session, his hair is fairly closely cropped, and under control. Gardner has captured the President in several sitting and standing poses; the full-length and three-quarter shots include the same ornate table with a marble top. In his diary, Hay noted, "I went down with the President to have his picture taken at Gardner`s. He was in very good spirits." Provenance: Descended through the Hay family through John Hay (1838-1905), who was present at the photo session, to his son Clarence Leonard Hay (1884-1969) m. Alice Appleton, and thereby to his son John Hay (b. 1915).
