CRIMEAN WAR RELIC THE BRASS SWORD SCABBARD OF MAJOR-GENERAL CHARLES ASHE WINDHAM, `THE HERO OF THE REDAN` for a Mameluke-hilted sword, in the original green velvet lined and fitted mahogany case with brass handle and escutcheon engraved with armorials and inscribed MAJOR GENERAL C A WINDHAM, 103cm l, mid 19th c Provenance: General Charles Ashe Windham, KCB (1810-1870) of the Coldstream Guards. A portrait of Windham, sword in hand, standing before the Redan, by Charles Cousens (c1821-1889) is in the National Army Museum. In noticing his death The Times recounted Windham`s moment of glory: "General Windham was the first to enter the stronghold, and amid the shower of bullets and cannon balls that flew around him he seemed to bear about him a charmed life. At length, finding it hopeless to obtain support by sending messengers, he coolly walked across the open space before the ramparts in the midst of a well sustained fire, to demand assistance in person . The "Royals" were then placed at his disposal; but no sooner were they pit in formation than the men in the Redan were obliged to abandon the work. The opportunity had been lost. The correspondents of the press were not slow in recording the heroic bravery of Windham on this occasion, and on the arrival of General Codrington`s despatches at the Horse Guards, the subject of this memoir was rewarded by promotion to the rank of Major-General, for his distinguished conduct in having, with the greatest intrepity and coolness, headed the column of attack with assaulted the enemy`s defences on the 8th of September 1855". The scabbard and the interior of the case in excellent condition, the exterior of the case with numerous scuff marks and old knocks and scratches but complete

LEEDS, YORKSHIRE. AN EXTENSIVE GROUP OF GENEALOGICAL AND OTHER RECORDS, LETTERS, PHOTOGRAPHS AND MEMORABILIA OF THE NUSSEY FAMILY OF POTTERNEWTON HALL late 18th-early 20th c (please refer to online catalogue for details) Provenance: The principal collector of these and other papers (i) would appear to have been Agnes Georgina Nussey (b1875) the sister of Mary Anne Leathley Nussey (b1868), daughters of Samuel Leathley Nussey (1835-1895) of Potternewton Hall, a bibliophile who ran a small private press from his house (see following lot) and his wife, Agnes Clark (m 1864); thence by descent to James M Nussey (d1970) of Bromsgrove, by whose widow bequeathed to the present vendor. A name which can be regarded as `woven` into the history of Leeds and the West Riding of Yorkshire, the Nussey family has claimed descent from William the Silent (1533-1584). The name Nussey or Nussé is thought to be a corruption of that of Nassau. Certainly by the 17th century, and for 200 years they were actively involved in the dying and manufacture of wollen cloth in West Yorkshire. In the early 19th century, its prosperity assured, several members of the family played a prominent role in the civic and religious life of the area. Obadiah Nussey, JP, of Morley House, Headingley served as Mayor of Leeds in 1863/64 and was `father` (ie founder) of the town`s Royal Exchange. Sir Thomas Nussey, a baronet (cr. 1909) was MP for Pontefract (1893-1910) and earlier in the century, John Nussey was appointed Apothecary to George IV. It is however, undoubtedly Ellen Nussey (1817-1897) of Birstall, the lifelong friend of Charlotte Bronte, who has the greatest claim to posterity. Potternewton Hall, an exceptionally fine early 18th c brick mansion, was demolished in 1935 for urban development. i) Records of the Clarke family, c1800-1905 of Widewath, near Cumbria, with some Nussey and Murdock-related material, were deposited at Cumbria Record Office by J N Booth & J M Nussey in 1983 (see also lot 305). The lot principally comprises the following:- 1. Photographs a) Three albums containing 130 cartes-de-visite of (mainly Clark and Nussey families, many identified), mostly by Leeds and Yorkshire photographers, in particular Hanson of Leeds. Two of the albums (one of mother of pearl, the other embossed leather) in exceptional, `as new` condition. The former with the engraved monogram of S L Nussey (1835-1895) b) About 70 loose cartes de visite, similar to the above c) A group of about 12 fine professional whole plate photographs (silver prints) of Potternewton Hall and the interiors, just prior to demolition, c1920 d) Two cased `ambrotype` f) Various 19th c albumen prints of the family, many at Potternewton Hall, up half plate g) An early 20th c portrait by Dorothy Wilding and several similar miscellaneous photographs 2.
