*Gerald Spencer Pryse (1882-1956) watercolour - Street in Kano, 54cm x 77cm, titled verso, unframed. Provenance: From the artist’s studio. An exhibition article recounts the history of this group of watercolour sketches - ‘In 1928 he visited Nigeria and the Gold Coast on behalf of the Empire Marketing Board: the paintings made by him in the Gold Coast were purchased by the Colonial Government. In Nigeria he made no less than a hundred sketches, in colour, in a period of only 53 working days; most of the four months spent in Nigeria being occupied in travel, often under severe conditions. These pictures constitute a unique record of scenery and life in Nigeria at that time. Captain Spencer Pryse also paid an important visit to the Emir Abd'el Karim during the Riff War in North Africa, an account of which he published in Blackwood's Magazine.’. Gerald Spencer Pryse was born in Ashton and educated at Eton. He was largely self taught but with spells under artists in London and Paris. He won first prize at the Venice International Exhibition in 1907. Early in his career he contributed work to The Strand Magazine, The Graphic and Punch, he produced illustrations for E Nesbit, Henry Fielding and others. A staunch socialist and an active member of the Fabian society, his work was often politically charged and with humanist themes, demonstrated in posters for various humanitarian relief agencies throughout the first world war and it’s aftermath. Pryce initially focussed on print-making and was well versed in the techniques of lithography by the outbreak of The Great War. He captured scenes from the battlefields from 1914 and ultimately became the most prolific lithographic artist of World War I. Working initially under the patronage of the Queen of Belgian as a dispatch rider on the Belgian front, he had the freedom to record his observations directly onto huge lithographic stones, which he carried around the Western front line in his Mercedes, commentators at the time described him as ‘’looking like he’d looted a graveyard’”. He later wrote a memoir of this time ‘Four Days: an account of a journey in France made between 28 and 31 August 1914’ published by John Lane in 1932. Pryse also worked with the Indian Army in France and several of his lithographs depict scenes of Indian troops. He subsequently served as a Captain in the Queen Victoria’s rifles, won the Military Cross at Passchendaele, was awarded the Croix de Guerre and was mentioned in dispatches. Pryse was torn between his obligation as a soldier and his potential value as an artist in the propaganda unit. His repeated petitions to become an official war artist were protracted due to his military success and the reluctance of his superiors to release him, his socialist leanings were also a significant stumbling block. In 1917 He finally became an official war artist, one of just 26 British artists to have been awarded the honour during WWI. When his sketches were later exhibited in London they were said to have ‘a freshness and authenticity that were not always apparent in the work of official war artists’, unfortunately much of his work was destroyed during the 1918 German Offensive, and even more destroyed when the Spencer Pryse house was bombed in World War II, after which time Gerald Spencer Pryse ceased to paint. Pryse secured prestigious commissions during the war period, including poster designs for military recruitment, the British Red Cross, London Underground and The Labour Party. In 1924 he did a large series of work for the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley, working alongside Frank Brangwyn to produce the official accompanying publication and also on a monumental series of posters covered ‘the whole of the Empire in 24 pictures’, designed to convey the extent and marvels of the British Empire. He also produced images for the 1928 and 1932 Olympics. In 1925 he travelled and worked extensively in Morocco where his brother was based. In 1928 he toured West Africa by car and river steamer to record scenes on the Gold Coast and Nigeria for The Empire Marketing Board and in 1930 was commissioned for further works by the Gold Coast Government. Throughout his career he exhibited widely including at the Alpine Gallery, Royal Academy, Royal Scottish Gallery, Leicester Galleries and the Royal Glasgow Institute of Art. His work was acquired by and is held by The British Museum, The Victoria and Albert Museum, The Louvre, The Uffizi, The National Portrait Gallery, The Royal Collection and others. Gerald Spencer Pryse died at Cranford House, Stourton, Worcestershire on 28 November 1956 aged 74.

Ca. 100-200 AD.A silver legionary eagle portrays the iconic bird in a commanding and unmistakable form. Rendered with meticulous craftsmanship, this depiction presents the eagle in a dignified standing pose, its powerful wings elegantly folded against its back. The small head, complete with a meticulously crafted beak and recessed eyes, conveys a sense of intensity and alertness. The intricate detailing of the body, skillfully imitating the intricate plumage, further accentuates the artistry involved in its creation. In the context of the Roman army, the eagle held profound symbolism and played a crucial role. Serving as a standard, the eagle was carried by the legionary eagle-bearer at the forefront of Roman military formations, embodying the spirit, power, and authority of the Roman legions. It represented the unity, loyalty, and discipline of the soldiers, serving as a rallying point and source of inspiration on the battlefield. Size: L:2.85mm / W:12.6mm ; 8g Provenance: Private London collection, pre-2000s.

1979 Range Rover Suffix G Two-Door (3.5 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:70168The first-generation Range Rover was produced between 1970 and 1996. The original car was not designed as a luxury 4x4; whilst certainly up-market compared to preceding Land Rover models, the early Range Rovers had fairly basic, utilitarian interiors with vinyl seats and plastic dashboards that were designed to be washed down with a hose. Convenience features such as power assisted steering, carpeted floors; air conditioning, cloth/leather seats and wooden interior trim were fitted later in the production run. The Range Rover also served as the base for specialist utility vehicles including fire engines and command centres for the army and police. Marketed as 'A Car For All Reasons', the Range Rover was more capable off-road than the Land Rover but was much more comfortable, offering a top speed in excess of 100mph.This particular example was originally supplied to Belgium and the British Motor Heritage Trust Certificate confirms it was originally painted in the very desirable Sahara Dust colour, which it still wears today, and our vendor believes most of the paint is original. Being a late 1979 car, this Range Rover is a Suffix G, which was the final iteration of 1970's Range Rover's and was the result of nearly a decade of continuous development. This Range Rover appears to be a very original example which would benefit from some recommissioning and would then be an ideal classic to take to the continent.

Major-General Sir Fitzroy Hew Royle Maclean, 1st Baronet, KT, CBE (11 March 1911 - 15 June 1996) was a Scottish soldier, writer and politician. He was a Unionist Member of Parliament (MP) from 1941 to 1974 and was one of only two men who during the Second World War enlisted in the British Army as a private and rose to the rank of brigadier, the other being future fellow Conservative MP Enoch Powell.
