[Barton (Robert) Treaty signatory] A copy of Douglas Hyde [An Craoibhín]'s play Casadh An tSúgáin, with a parallel translation by Lady Gregory, An Cló-Chumann, Dublin n.d. [1905], orig. wrappers, stapled, inscribed on front cover '1541 R. Barton', further inscribed on f.f.e.p., 'Riobard Bartún / & é i bpríosún i Sacsana / ón gCraoibhín'. (1)Robert Barton, a cousin of Erskine Childers, from a landed background in Wicklow, joined the British Army as an officer during the Great War, but resigned after he was posted to Dublin during the 1916 Rising. He joined the Irish Volunteers and was elected to the First Dail, where he was Minister for Agriculture. He was several times imprisoned for Republican activities, including the occasion recorded in this booklet. He was released from Portland Prison during the Truce, and was a member of the team that negotiated the Anglo-Irish Treaty. Though he signed the Treaty and voted for it in the Dail, he took the anti-Treaty side afterwards. After the fighting ended he retired from politics and returned to farming. He was later head of the Agricultural Credit Corporation under Fianna Fail.A rare and evocative item, illustrating the complexity of the Anglo-Irish struggle.

Remembering The Battle of Fontenoy, 1907A file of 8 items marking the unveiling in 1907 near Tournai in Belgium of a Celtic cross designed by Anthony Scott commemorating the Battle of Fontenoy. Includes several picture postcards sent to the Behan family in Dublin, a mounted photograph (13 x 24 cm) of the ceremony, and the menu for the "Banquet commémoratif". At the battle of Fontenoy, fought on 11 May 1745, a French army commanded by the veteran Marshal Saxe was attacked while besieging Tournai by a British and Dutch force commanded by the young Prince William, Duke of Cumberland. At a crucial stage in the fighting Saxe called in the Irish Brigade, commanded by Lord Clare, who turned the tide in favour of the French.In later years the victory of Fontenoy was regarded with fierce pride by Irish nationalists, generations of whom were inspired by Thomas Davis's poem portraying it as revenge for Ireland's defeat in the Jacobite war and for the broken Treaty of Limerick: On Fontenoy, on Fontenoy, hark to that fierce huzza!"Revenge! remember Limerick! dash down the Sassenagh!"

Bert Stern (USA, 1929-2013) TWIGGY BEFORE A PAINTING BY BRIDGET RILEY, 1965 large format silver gelatin C print; (no. 5 from an edition of 9) signed lower right; numbered lower left Bert Stern was the son of immigrants and grew up in Brooklyn. His father was a portrait photographer. After dropping out of high school at the age of 16, he started work in the mail room at Look magazine. He worked his way up to become art director at Flair magazine, where he started taking his own pictures. In 1951 Stern was drafted into the army and was sent to Japan where he was assigned to a photographic unit. Stern's first professional assignment was in 1955 for a Madison Avenue advertising agency for Smirnoff vodka. His best-known work is arguably The Last Sitting, a collection of 2,600 photographs taken for Vogue of Marilyn Monroe over a three-day period, six weeks before her death. Stern's book The Last Sitting was published in 1982 and again in 2000. He has photographed Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Twiggy, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Drew Barrymore and Lindsay Lohan among others. “Women are everything," Stern is reported to have said, “Man is just a muscle.” Another notable quote from him is “What makes a great model is her need, her desire; and it’s exciting to photograph desire.” 72 by 72in.

Gérard Laenen (Belgian, 1899-1980) PORTRAIT OF MAURICE COLLIS oil on canvas signed lower left Maurice Collis was born in Dublin, the son of an Irish solicitor, and went to Rugby School in 1903 and then in 1907 to the University of Oxford, where he studied history. He entered the Indian Civil Service in 1911 and was posted to Burma in 1912. He had postings at Sagaing and elsewhere. In 1917, the British army raised a Burmese brigade with which Collis went to Palestine, but he saw no action. In 1919, he went on leave and travelled in Europe. In the 1920s he was district commissioner in Arakan. In 1929-1930, a period when relations between Burmese, Indians and British became particularly difficult, he was district magistrate in Rangoon. This period is narrated in his memoir Trials in Burma. He gives special attention to the political trial of J. M. Sen Gupta, mayor of Calcutta, for sedition in impromptu speeches made during a brief visit to Rangoon in 1930; also to two criminal trials which became politically charged because they brought to light underlying attitudes of British merchants and army officers to Burmese people. Collis's judgments were (according to his own analysis) too independent to be pleasing to the then British Government of Burma, arousing the particular disapproval of his superior, Booth Gravely, Commissioner of the Pegu Division. After giving judgment in the last of these trials Collis was hastily moved to the post of Excise Commissioner.Many Burmese regarded him as a god as those judgements fulfilled a prophecy that a man who was not a Burmese would dispense justice, and his appearance would presage Burmese independence.After returning to England in 1934, he wrote many books, including Siamese White and Foreign Mud, as well as art and literary criticism. At the age of 65 he turned his hand to painting.His younger brothers were the writer John Stewart Collis and Robert Collis, a notable doctor and author; John and Robert were twins. 27.50 by 31.50in.
