Clothing. Embroidered skirt for a Robe à la Française, British, circa 1730-40, hand-stitched wide skirt, composed of 5 pieced cream silk panels, each 72.5 cm (28.5 ins) wide, 1 panel unadorned, with 31 cm long stitched opening from waistband, the other 4 panels elaborately hand-embroidered in polychrome silk threads with a wide border (46 cm/18 ins) depicting an abundance of flowering and fruiting meandering stems including roses, tulips, carnations, and pomegranates, some of the stems gathered together with a bow, using a variety of stitches, including stem stitch, long and short stitch, latticework, basket weave, and satin stitch, the skirt shaped for pannier hoop with gathers to sides, original tape edging and drawstrings to waist, hem and one side seam stitched, the other side seam raw, a few small marks and 1 or 2 minor pulled threads, pale brown stain to blank area above embroidery (6 x 3 cm), 2 cm closed tear to hem almost touching a leaf, 99.5 x 362 cm (39.25 x 142.5 ins)QTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance: The Farquhar Collection, Redlynch House, Salisbury, Wiltshire (see also lot 160).A rare, beautifully-preserved, large portion of embroidery on a wide skirt, intended to be part of an 18th century gown, but seemingly never used. The condition of this almost 300-year-old piece is remarkable, with the colours still vibrant and the silk fabric robust. The finished gown would have been worn with a pannier beneath, made of metal, cane or whalebone supports, to give the skirt its shape. The voluminosity of the gown would accentuate the small waist of the wearer, whilst the large expanse of costly material would indicate the wealth and status of the lady. As the 18th century wore on skirts expanded in width so that by the middle of the century some ladies wore panniers seven feet wide.The Farquhar family were bankers and collectors of fine art and antiques. Celebrated members of the family include John Farquhar who bought Fonthill Abbey, Wiltshire, in its entirety from William Beckford in 1823, and Alfred Farquhar who was one of the partners of the private bank Herries, Farquhar & Company, which eventually merged with Lloyd's at the beginning of the nineteenth century. The bank lent money to Napoleon III, and in 1871, when Napoleon was exiled, he sought refuge with banking partner Sir Walter Rockcliffe Farquhar. According to family tradition, the former Emperor struggled to repay his debts, so instead paid in kind, with valuables from French royal palaces which had been brought to England by bullock carts.

Jules-Constant Peyre, French, 1811-1870, (born-active), a pair of ‘ceramo-marbre’ portrait reliefs of Empress Eugenie and Napoleon III, third quarter 19th century, each signed J.PEYRE, and with maker’s stamp to reverse Nouveau Modeles Ceramo-Marbre, Propriété de L'Editeur, in brass slip frames, 18cm diameter Note: Peyre was born in Sedan, and having trained under the famous animalier sculptire Bayre he joined the Sevre porcelain factory as a modeller (1845-1848) and went on to become Chief Designer (1856-1871). During some kind of sabbatical in the early 1850s he took obe of the factory's most distinctive material formulations, bisque porcelain, and developed it into a much more durable and versatile synthetic marble, which he called "ceramo-marble". Exploiting this new product he began to commercialise a range of portrait medallions based on his own deisgns. In 1855 he sculpted a medallion of Princess Eugenie which was based on a life-size marble bust created in the previous year by Alfred-Emilien, comte de Niewerke. Peyre then sculpted a matching medallion of the Emperor himself, and marketed the resulting Imperial Pair in a range of different sizes, typically 7-10cm. The present lot is unusually large and rare example of this model.Please refer to department for condition report

An optical illusion 3D lithograph, early 20th century, depicting Emile Zola, Captain Alfred Dreyfus and Major Esterhazy, with vertical slats hidden in the frame, in a gilt frame titled ‘La vérité est en marche et rien ne l'arrêtera’ (The truth is on the march and nothing will stop it), 73 x 60cm overallNote: This work celebrates the Dreyfus Affair, the political scandal that divided France from 1894 until 1906.

It was a further two years before Dreyfus was freed and another six before the Supreme Court finally exonerated him. The current lot celebrates the scandal, depicting the three main protagonists in an optical trick achieved by a series of vertical slates hidden in the frame.

Essery (Rev. William Alfred, c. 1831-1904). A Yachting Cruise Around the World on the SS Ceylon 1881-1882, by the Rev. W.A. Essery, of London, 1885, an unpublished manuscript of 280 pages, written in a very neat hand on numbered rectos of ruled leaves, plus 13 pages of preliminaries including title, dedication, preface and contents on unnumbered ruled leaves loosely inserted at front, contemporary half calf over cloth, worn and backstrip deficient, 4to (23 x 19 cm), together with a cabinet card portrait of Essory inscribed by him to verso for Miss [Anne H.] Sutton [of New York, USA], the book's dedicatee, dated October 1884, plus 2 autograph letters signed from Essery to Miss Sutton, Instow, North Devon, 23 July 1894 & 147 Peckham Rye, London SE, 20 September 1894, each 4 pages, written in a very neat hand, 8vo, plus an octavo sheet with a partial brief contents list of Chapters 1-16QTY: (5)NOTE:An unpublished manuscript account of one of the earliest commercial pleasure cruises and the first commercial cruise around the world. The SS Ceylon was a single-screw, iron-hulled auxiliary steamer built by P&O in 1858 for use on the regular service from Southampton to Malta and Alexandria. With accommodation for 130 first and 30 second-class passengers it was bought by the fledgling Inter-Oceanic Yachting Company Ltd. The Company belonged to friends and business partners James Culliford and John Lockie Clarke who had established a steamer brokerage, Culliford & Clarke in London in 1875. No doubt partly inspired by Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days (1872) Clarke dreamt of going into leisure cruising and with some marketing fanfare they planned this ten-month voyage which was to take place from late October 1881 to late August 1882, covering some 37,500 nautical miles and stopping at various exotic and alluring places on the way.While this account inevitably describes a lot of day-to-day life on board ship Essery was one of the few people that completed the whole journey and gives some interesting accounts of places visited. The account is divided into the following chapters:Chapter I. First days at sea – Bordeaux; II. Beautiful Lisbon and Belem; III. Jebel-al-Tarik; IV. Coasting in the Mediterranean; V. Crowded Naples & empty Pompeii; VI. Rounding Sicily to Valetta; VII. From the Piraeus to the Golden Horn; VIII. Smyrna city, castle & missions; IX. The Island of Roses & the city of Alexander; X. Onward to India; XI. Seeing Bombay; XII. Ceylon’s isle; XIII. Twenty-four hours in Madras; XIV. British India’s capital; XV. In the straits of Malacca; XVI. Sailing up China Sea; XVII. Hong Kong & Sunday in Canton; XVIII. Canton, doing the sights; XIX. From Hong Kong to Nagasaki; XX. Through five Nadas – Kioto; XXI. Missions in Kioto & Osaka – Yokohama; XXII. Honolulu & Hilo; XXIII. Going to San Francisco and the equator; XXIV. On the South Pacific; XXV. Through Magellan Straits to Monte Video; XXVI. A trio of South Atlantic Ports; XXVII. Across the tropics, homeward.We have located one published account of part of the cruise by William Monroe (1823-1896), A Two Months’ Cruise in the Mediterranean in the Steam-Yacht ‘Ceylon’ (London: Hurst & Blackett, 1884) but we have located no published work of the whole voyage which was completed by fewer than 40 people including Essery and his American travelling friend to whom the manuscript is dedicated, Miss Anne H. Sutton. This manuscript is therefore a potentially unique and historically important account of this first commercial world cruise.Essery’s published works were otherwise entirely of a religious nature and include Hymns for Sunrise Hours and others (1892) and The Ascending Cross (1905).

Artists. A collection of British artists' autograph letters and signatures, late 19th & early 20th century, many addressed to John Callcott Horsley (1817 – 1903), English painter, illustrator, and designer of the first Christmas card, including Edward J.

Porte du ravin' (lower left), each 23 x 41.2 cm., two (2). Provenance: Anon. sale, Christie's, London, 13 April 2011, lot 480. Note: The Port of Sidi Ferruch was the landing area of the French when they established their beachhead for the Invasion of Algiers in 1830.

Its minaret of the Hassan Pasha Mosque can be seen in the distance of the first work here. De Courville most likely visited Algeria once the invasions had settled, and he would also go on to produce a number of watercolours of Istanbul.Please refer to department for condition report

AMENDMENT - Please note this lot has a revised description and estimate.Follower of Adriaen Jansz. van Ostade,Dutch 1610-1685-A study of a woman with her child;pen and brown ink and grey wash on laid paper, with William Esdaile's collection stamp (L.2617, lower right), 10.1 x 5.4 cm.Provenance:Collection of William Esdaile, 1758-1837 (Lugt 2617).;Collection of Bindon Blood, d.1855 (Lugt 3011).;Collection of Dr Fleischer.;Anon. sale, Sotheby’s, London, 19 June 1973, lot 60 (as ‘Attributed to Adriaen van Ostade’).;With Alfred Brod Gallery, London.;Private Collection, UK, since 1965.;By descent.Literature:Dusseldorf, C.G. Boerner exh. cat., 1965, no.6, as Adriaen van Ostade ‘Mutter und Tochter’.; Bernhard Schnackenburg, ‘Adriaen van Ostade, Isack van Ostade: Zeichnungen und Aquarelle’, Hamburg, 1981, p.217, no.F104 (Falsche Zuschreibungen).Exhibited: Dusseldorf, C.G. Boerner, 1965, no.6 (illustrated), as by Adriaen van Ostade.Note: The present work is by an unknown draughtsman and is presumably a late 17th / early 18th-century copy after a lost original by Adriaen van Ostade. Furthermore, it may be a loose interpretation of the mother and child figure group in his etching ‘Saying Grace’ (B.34)Similar drawings which are by the hand of van Ostade are reproduced in Schnackenburg’s book (nos 157 and 328). This intimate and confidently rendered sketch can further be compared on stylistic grounds with several by the artist in the Pierpont Morgan Library, New York and in the Louvre, Paris. According to Lugt, William Esdaile owned, amongst his large and illustrious collection of Old Master works on paper, at least 31 drawings by Adriaen van Ostade, which were sold in London on 18-25 June 1840, after his death.Please refer to department for condition report

JJan van Goyen,  Dutch 1596-1656- Landscape with trees and a peasant walking; black chalk and grey wash on laid paper, 9.2 x 14.2 cm. Provenance: With Alfred Brod Gallery, London.; Private Collection, UK, since 1965.; By descent. Note: No Dutch draughtsman ever captured the atmosphere of the rural countryside of Holland with the same atmospheric and engaging simplicity that Van Goyen achieved in drawings such as this. Indeed, his landscapes were seminal in the development of the genre. The present sketch conveys a striking sense of movement within the natural landscape, conveyed by the deftly applied strokes of chalk, from which the artist’s hand can be sensed. The composition is characteristic of his work, with the low horizon affording significance to the broad sky and the soaring birds within. This feeling of windswept motion powerfully evokes the expansive Dutch farmland with which he was evidently preoccupied.  Please refer to department for condition report
