Lots 475-487 Alfred Thomas Goldie Gardner (1890-1958) Alfred Thomas Goldie Gardner was born on 31 May 1890 in Woodford, Essex. An early interest in racing motorcycles was interrupted by him joining the army at the start of the First World War where he became the youngest Major in the British Forces. In 1917, his reconnaissance plane was brought down by enemy fire, and he sustained leg and hip injuries that were to hospitalise him and leave him disabled for the rest of his life. He was mentioned in despatches during his tour of duty from 1st July 1916 to the end of January 1917 and was awarded the Military Cross. Despite his injuries, he began motor racing in 1924 and, in 1930, his success brought him to the attention of Cecil Kimber, the managing director of M.G.; there he was able to race various M.G. cars with considerable success. In 1934, in a streamlined K3 Magnette, he accompanied Sir Malcolm Campbell to Daytona Beach and set a new Land Speed Record. In 1937, he went to Dessau in Germany where he created a new Flying Mile Record at 148.5mph. He went on to set further records at Montlhéry in France and returned to Germany later in the year to set new records. With a 200mph goal in mind, he acquired George Eyston's Magic Magnette EX-135 and modified it for the task. In November 1938, he returned to Germany and raised the record to 186mph. With the 200mph target still eluding him, in May 1939 he returned yet again to take the 1100cc record to 203mph, and with the engine rebored overnight he also took three 1500cc Class 'F' records. Following WWII, new Class 'H' (750cc) records were achieved in Italy and at Jabbeke, Belgium. Then, in 1947, Class 'I' (500cc) records were set. In 1948, a Jaguar 2-litre experimental engine was borrowed to set Class 'E' (2000cc) records. Further record-breaking continued at Jabbeke and in the USA through 1950-2, but in 1952 he suffered a cerebral haemorrhage and was forced to retire. On his death in 1958, he was holder of the OBE and had received three BRDG Gold Stars. A medal group of ten WWI and later medals, awarded to Major (Lieutenant Colonel) Alfred Thomas Goldie Gardner RA, MC (awarded 14th March 1917), OBE, comprising: The 1914-15 Star, The 1914-18 War Medal, The Victory Medal, The 1939-45 Star, The France and Germany Star, The Defence Medal, The 1939-45 War Medal, The Special Constabulary Faithful Service Medal, MC, OBE, in a glazed case, together with the cased miniature group

Footnote: Whilst Bishop Jonathan Trelawny was imprisoned in the Tower of London, his brother Major Charles Trelawny was back in Portsmouth having fought political insurgents in Tangier, Morrocco. Incentivised with the potential release of his brother, Charles was one of few with very good reason to ensure that William and Mary were escorted back to London from Torbay. Thus, he sailed his army quickly back to the UK in order to escort the future King and Queen up to London, securing their arrival so that they could ascertain their monarchy. In return for this good deed, this clock was given to Charles Trelawny and the Bishop Sir Jonathan Trelawny by Mary in thanks for their efforts in helping her and her husband return home upon the occasion of their accession to the throne of England.

After Joseph Haverty RHA (1794 - 1864) The Triumphant Entry of George IV into Dublin. His Majesty's Arrival, His Majesty's Embarkation A pair of coloured aquatints by Robert Havell, each 45 x 64cms. These prints record the visit of George IV to Ireland in 1821, when official business was overshadowed by the Kings' wish to visit Slane Castle. These are rare first state prints before the flags were re-engraved to fly at half mast for the death of Queen Caroline. This pair of aquatint prints by Robert Havell, are based on paintings by Joseph Haverty, a close friend of 'The Liberator', Daniel O'Connell. Haverty based his depictions on sketches made by John Lushington Reilly, whom Haverty has thoughtfully included in the embarkation scene. The figure of Reilly can be found in the central foreground sketching on horseback. The 18 day visit by George IV began on August 12th 1820, the Kings 59th birthday, and a mere three weeks after his coronation. The visit was arguably the first time a British monarch had visited the country without an accompanying army, in the traditional sense at least. George IV's visit was universally greeted with rejoicing from the populace. One of the first to extend his warmest welcome was Daniel O'Connell, who saw the visit as welcome support in his endeavours to achieve Catholic Emancipation, although George only signed the bill reluctantly some eight years later. The King, whilst scheduled to arrive at Kingstown, instead arrived at Howth harbour in a mood befitting his birthday celebrations. The first print shows the King leading a procession of some two hundred carriages at the head of Sackville Street amidst a spectacular flurry of flags and pageantry. The Lord Mayor's Guard, who resembled 'Beefeaters', can be seen close to the carriage. The King spent the majority of his stay at the Vice Regal Lodge in the Phoenix Park, with the exception of a four day visit to his mistress, Elizabeth Lady Conyngham at Slane Castle. The visit was a resounding success - Daniel O'Connell even suggesting that a collection be taken up from every peasant in Ireland, to facilitate the building of a palace for the new King. The collection did not afford the building of a palace but it did facilitate the building of a new bridge crossing the Liffey at the present location of Heuston Station.

REPUBLICAN HUNGER STRIKE A broadside leaflet headed 'The Mountjoy Strike / The Call to the Army', issued by Frank Aiken, General, Chief of Staff, calling for active support for the hunger-strikers from every Volunteer, undated [1923]; and a collection of four issues of the Sinn Fein 'Daily Sheet' giving news of the hunger strikes, issues no. 3 (27 Oct. 1923), announcing an 'All-Ireland Hunger Strike'; 15 (10 Nov. 1923), listing those 'whose strength is fast declining'; 21 (17 Nov. 1923); and 24 (21 Nov. 1923), 'The First Death', that of Denis Barry of Cork. The 1923 hunger strike, in support of a demand for release of all remaining Republican prisoners, began some six months after the Republican cease fire. It ended after some 40 days and several deaths, when ecclesiastical intervention led to an understanding that the prisoners would be quickly released. As a collection, scarce.

1916 PROCLAMATION: THE ORIGINAL PRINTING An original copy of the first printing of the Proclamation of the Provisional Government of the Irish Republic to the People of Ireland, printed at Liberty Hall on the evening of Sunday 23 April, and read by Patrick Pearse outside the General Post Office in Dublin on the morning of Easter Monday 1916 at the opening of the Easter Rising. Single sheet printed one side only, letterpress, on the usual poor quality paper with a greyish tinge, framed and glazed. With closed tears at top and bottom (professionally repaired), extensive fold marks, one tiny hole with no loss of text, generally in attractive condition in spite of signs of wear. With the various typographical peculiarities identified by Bouch [1936] as indicating the original printing, and without any of the features which identify later printings. Type a bit smudged in places, as usual. With three short vertical printed bars visible in the first three lines of the second section (commencing 'The Irish Republic is entitled ..'), probably due to space bars catching the ink, as in the copy sold in these rooms in April 2012. Visible dimensions of paper (within the mount) 29 ½ ins x 19 ½ ins; depth of printed surface 28 ¾ ins, separation between upper and lower parts of document ½ in. Length of printed line, as measured in the frame, 18 1/8 ins at top, 18 ins at bottom. This last measurement is very slightly smaller than that indicated by Bouch (18 ¼ in.); we believe this small difference is accounted for by the fact that the document is slightly rumpled and does not lie completely flat in the frame. In all other respects the document is consistent with Bouch's measurements and findings. We believe it to be genuine and authentic. Signed on back of frame 'Eamonn Bourke" and with the signature of a Commissioner of Oaths, and with an original certificate of authenticity issued by Eamonn de Burca of De Burca Rare Books 2001, a witnessed affidavit to the same effect signed by Eamonn Bourke, and two certificates dated 1999 and 2001, both signed by John Farrell (Preservation Officer) and Donall O Luanaigh (Keeper) of the National Library of Ireland, giving as their opinion that 'this particular copy is part of the first printing of the Proclamation'. These documents may be inspected on request, and will be passed to the purchaser. The Proclamation of the Irish Republic, recognised as the founding document of modern Irish nationhood, was drafted probably by Patrick Pearse, possibly with amendments by Thomas MacDonagh and James Connolly. The original manuscript has never been found. The text was printed under armed Citizen Army guard at Liberty Hall on the evening of Sunday 23 April 1916, using paper bought by James Connolly for his Workers' Republic and a font of type borrowed from a nearby printer. The type available was insufficient to set the entire text; hence the various improvised letters (notably the non-matching 'e's), and the need to print the document in two parts, running all the sheets through the printing machine twice (the part first printed ends with the third paragraph). It is believed the print order was 2,000 copies, of which the vast majority perished in the storm of fire, shot and shell unleashed in Dublin in the following days. Previously unknown copies still appear from time to time, but our best estimate is that no more than 50 attested copies of the first printing are now extant, and a majority of these are in institutional collections where they are likely to remain. Provenance: Eamonn de Burca, purchased from a client who stated it came originally from a house in Harcourt Street which at one time was a 'safe house' for Michael Collins; private collection.

LIAM LYNCH [Republican Chief of Staff, Oglaigh na hEireann] A cyclostyled Proclamation dated 1 February 1923, claiming that the 'Junta called the “Government of the Irish Free State†have resorted to .. shooting Republican soldiers taken by them as prisoners of war, and have already put to death fifty three officers and men in this manner', and stating that the 'Army of the Republic' will not give up the hostages it has been compelled to take, and if threatened action be taken against other prisoners in the power of the Government, 'we shall hold every member of the said Junta and its so-called Parliament, Senate and other House, and all their executives responsible, and shall certainly visit them with the punishment they shall deserve.' One page, issued from 'Field General HQ, Dublin', probably a copy issued in London. With another communiqué dated 29 January 1923, referring to the appeal from Liam Deasy for an immediate and unconditional surrender by Republicans, and informing him that his proposal 'cannot be considered'.

'THE SCOUNDREL MICHAEL COLLINS HAS TREATED ME SCURVILY' H. QUINLISK & MICHAEL COLLINS An autograph manuscript letter signed H. Quinlisk, late Cpl. the Royal Irish Regt., from an address in Gardiner Place, Dublin, dated 11th Nov. [19]19, to The Under Sec. / Dublin Castle, marked 'Secret' and 'Very Urgent', offering information and saying his life would be in danger if seen entering the Castle. 'I was the man who assisted Casement in Germany, and in coming home I have been connected with Sinn Fein. I have decided to tell all I know of that organisation and my information would be of use to the authorities. The scoundrel Michael Collins has treated me scurvily and I now am going to wash my hands of the whole business. If you accept my offer, please send a man, one who can be trusted, to the above address ..' The facts were that Quinlisk had indeed been involved with Casement's attempt to recruit an Irish brigade among British Army prisoners in Germany. On his return when the war ended, he approached Sinn Fein for money, and was given some. Eventually, Collins gave him £100 and told him not to come back. He went to the Galway Races and lost the lot. When he came back looking for more cash, he was shown the door - hence '\Collins has treated me scurvily'. On foot of the present letter, he was interviewed by a Dublin Castle detective, whose report was given for typing to none other than Col. Eamonn Broy - a Collins agent who of course sent a copy to him. That alone would have been enough to condemn Quinlisk, but Collins decided to run a test. When Quinlisk appeared again, looking for Collins, he was told the 'Big Fellow' was away in Cork, where he would be staying at Wren's Hotel. A coded message went to the Cork RIC from the Castle, instructing them to surround the hotel and arrest Collins. When Quinlisk turned up to see the fun and collect his reward, he was picked up by the Cork IRA, taken away and shot. Quinlisk's original letter is all that remains of him. It is a remarkable survival. It apparently was seen by Piaras Beaslai, who quotes a short passage, and the same passage is requoted from Beaslai's account by Coogan and Hart. The full letter has never been published. It appears to have turned up in the papers of an old lady at one time associated with Cumann na mBan. A unique, curious and interesting document.
