A mid 19th century porcelain part tea/coffee service: eight tea cups, three saucers, five coffee cups, two two-handled cake plates and a slop bowl (19 items); each piece individually gilded and hand-decorated with topographical scenes of ruins, buildings, grand country houses etc. within vignettes; some pieces with small painted numbers to undersides CONDITION REPORT: The 2 cake plates - the first looks in generally good order the central square gilded decoration does shown some wear commensurate with age and there is some minor wear to the gilded border on the outside edge. The vignettes look generally still well painted with some minor scuffing to the paint surface. The underside of the first cake plate looks in good order generally. The second two handled cake plate does have some minor rubbing on the four topographical vignettes although the central gilded decoration is in slightly better order that the first plate. The two handles look in good condition and the underneath looks in good general original condition. The large slop bowl is noted to be quite dirty inside although this appears to rub off with some effort. The gilding and vignettes here are quite nice with some minor surface scratching to the three puce reserves. Some minor gilding rubbing is noted to the top of the scallop edge and also to the interior central decoration. No restoration, or hairlines or chips are noted. The three saucers, the first shows minor gilding wear around the scallop edge and also to the central circular decoration although the topographical vignettes are generally good. The second saucer is slightly better with again only very minor rubbing generally although there is a minor pinhead sized firing fault to one of the puce reserves, underneath looks good. The third saucer has slightly more gilt rubbing and has again minor rubbing to 1 or 2 vignettes. The central section is also slightly worn and underneath is in good general order. The five coffee cans have been inspected and generally the gilding is good as are the vignettes. There is some minor wear commensurate with age. One of the handles appears to have been fixed on in an “haphazard” manner angling to the left although this is an original fixing. One of the cups has a very minor pinhead sized piece of porcelain away around the rim and has at some stage probably been retouched but this is a very minor blemish. No hairlines or restoration noted on the 5 coffee cups but once again some minor gilt rubbing and surface scratching to the piece reserves commensurate with age. In our opinion these cups would clean up quite nicely. Some of the handles also shown minor gilt rubbing through usage. The 8 tea cups, similar condition with minor gilt rubbing as expected around the edges at the top on the lip and the undersides of the circular slightly spreading feet are dirty. The cups appear to be dirty but this appears to come off with ease. One or two of the cup handles also shown minor gilt loss and some losses to the inside of the cup gilding decoration at the top but nothing dramatic. No repairs, chips, hairlines or major problems noted. The main criticism being the minor gilt loss. See images.

Europe. Rose (Fred W.), John Bull and his friends. A serio-comic map of Europe by Fred W. Rose. Author of "Angling in Troubled waters" &c. &c., G. W. Bacon & Co. Ltd., 1900, colour lithographic map, inset map of Europe, table of reference describing the state of each nation, old folds strengthened on verso, very slight browning to some folds, retaining original cardboard wrappers, 495 x 695 mm A highly pictorial political caricature map of the countries of Europe, dominated by the enormous octopus which is Russia; whose tentacles stretch out to all points of the compass and grasp hold of Persia, China, Poland, Scandanavia and the Balkans. France and Spain are are depicted as attractive women, while Germany, Italy and England are military commanders. 'Octopus maps' are a well used cartographic conceit but this is one of the boldest and most graphic of all of the allegorical maps showing Britain and her allies' determination to resist what were held to be Russia's overweening territorial ambitions. The map has an unnerving and striking prescience with the current unpredictability and reckless behaviour of the current embodiment of the Russian state. (1)

Attributed to John Inigo Richards (1731-1810) South West view of Sadler~s Wells Theatre, a gentleman fishing in the New River Oil on canvas 43 x 63cm; 17 x 24¾in Provenance: Admiral Sir Lionel Preston, K.C.B. (1875-1971) Christie~s, London, 9th May 1947 Sold to Jetley for 45 guineas Peter Ascroft by whose estate sold in 2016 This is thought to be the earliest oil painting of Sadler~s Wells - the second oldest theatre in London and is likely to have been painted c.1765-75. The style of painting is very close to George Lambert who died in 1765 and the picture may well be by Lambert~s pupil, John Inigo Richards who often worked as a theatre set designer and was Hogarth~s godson. At the time of this painting, as well as offering entertainments and health-giving waters, the theatre held a gallery of paintings, mostly of classical gods in suggestive love-scenes and the couple in the painting are seen entering the gallery. This fascinating landscape is the earliest oil painting of Sadler~s Wells which is currently known to exist. Sadler~s Wells is the second oldest existing theatre in London, after the Theatre Royal on Dury Lane and, in consideration of the architecture depicted, the picture is likely to have been painted c.1765-75. The style of painting is very close to George Lambert who died in 1765 and the picture may well be by Lambert~s pupil, John Inigo Richards who often worked as a theatre set designer and was Hogarth~s godson. In 1683 Richard Sadler opened a ~Musick House~ in which singers and entertainers amused the public. Later that same year a well was discovered and within a couple of years five or six hundred people frequented the Musick House every morning to benefit from the waters. Gradually the popularity of the waters diminished and Sadler was forced to rely upon his entertainments which included a gallery of paintings. These paintings were all of classical gods in suggestive love-scenes - Neptune and a Nymph, Apollo and Daphne, Jupiter and Europa . In the present painting a couple is walking towards the entrance clearly marked as ~Gallery~. It certainly seems that Sadler~s Wells deserved its eighteenth century reputation as ~a nursery of debauchery~. In some respects the inscription above the gable relates to this. The inscription reads Sadlers / Wells / Licensed by Act / of Parliament / of 25 George 2nd. Act of Parliament 25 Geo.2, c.36, known as the Act for Regulating Places of Public Entertainment, was intended to provide clear guidelines to magistrates granting licences to places of entertainment both in the Cities of London and Westminster and within a twenty mile radius. In 1746 management of Sadler~s Wells passed to Thomas Rosoman. Rosoman made a number of changes to the site including, in 1754, the enclosure of the New River with wooden ~pallisadoes~ to prevent angling, netting, bathing and dogs . He put up an iron chain and lamps by the river to prevent people from falling in. More fundamentally, in 1764, Rosoman tore down the old wooden theatre and a new theatre of stone and brick was constructed. This saw the establishment of opera production at Sadler~s Wells which brought it to the same standing as the Theatre Royal. The new theatre opened on 8th April 1765 and the structure remained virtually the same until 1883. This is the structure depicted in the present work. Under Rosoman~s management, Sadler~s Wells attracted significant theatrical talent, including Giuseppe Grimaldi, a Drury Lane dancer, as his Ballet Master and chief dancer. In 1764 Sadler~s Wells produced The Tempest which is presumed to have been David Garrick~s version of the Dryden-Shakespeare-Purcell work. In 1771 Rosoman sold his interest in Sadler~s Wells to Thomas King, Garrick~s friend and rival at Drury Lane. During the later 18th the theatre diversified what was on show to include patriotic plays, pageants, and opera. Sadler~s Wells now exists as London~s premier location for the performance of dance.
