Colonial School. 17th Century."The Sacrifice of Hernán Cortés’ soldiers during "La Noche Triste” – The Night of Sorrows"Oil on canvas.49 x 66 cm.The scene is set in what could be the facade of a palace, given the staircase and pedestal that can be seen. In the centre, a large number of people (mostly soldiers, judging by the weapons they carry) gather around a male character who is seated and bound, naked, with his skin being torn off by two men wearing Phrygian caps, and another character with a crown and sceptre of command. In the foreground, some natural shapes and plants create some space in relation to the viewer. The headdresses and costumes of some characters resemble those of pre-Hispanic America, suggesting that a specific moment within the events of The Night of Sorrows, the sacrifice of the captured Spanish, is being depicted. The Night of Sorrows refers to the defeat suffered by the Castilian soldiers of Hernán Cortés and their allies at the hands of the Aztec army between June 30 and July 1, 1520, on the outskirts of Tenochtitlan, now Mexico City. It must have happened after Cortés' entry into Tenochtitlan on November 8, 1519, his reception by Moctezuma II (and other Aztec lords), who ended up being imprisoned, which angered his subjects. After the Massacre in the Main Temple and several battles, the Spanish ended up fleeing on the midnight of June 30, 1520, but they were discovered and attacked. The surviving Spanish captives were sacrificed along with the Tlaxcaltecas who had captured them. According to Bernal Díez del Castillo in his "True History of the Conquest of New Spain," six hundred Christians died, more than half of Cortés' troops. The main Mexica deity associated with the Sun was Huitzilopochtli, also known as Ilhuicatl Xoxouhqui or Tlacauepan Cuexcotzin, and it was believed that he ordered Tenochtitlan to be founded. Among other places, he was worshipped in the Main Temple.
Spanish or italian School. 17th - 18th century."Saint Francis Javier baptising Indigenous women"Oil on canvas. Dated 1704.285 x 203 cm.On the lower frieze there is coat of arms and a handwritten inscription: "EL Mº DE CAMP.º D FRAN.º FELIX DE VEGA CAV.RO DEL ORDEN DE S.TIAGO SIENDO CASTELLANO DE CAPVA EN EL REI.º DE NAP.S DEDICÓ ESTE ALTAR AL GLOR.SO APOS.L DE LAS INDI.S POR SV DEVO.N Y COMO V NIETO DE HER.NA DEL S.”"The Master of Campo. Don Francisco Félix de Vega, Knight of the Order of Santiago, serving as the Castellan of Capua in the Kingdom of Naples, dedicates this altar to the glorious Apostle of the Indies out of devotion and as the great-grandson of Herna del S."King Felipe V created the title of nobility Marquisate of Feria on July 14, 1704, to confer honour upon Francisco Félix de Vega y Cruzat, a Field Master, for his services to the army, especially in Naples. The name of the marquisate refers to "La Feria", an ancient place in Navarre between Tafalla and Olite.The first Marquis of Feria, a native of Tafalla, rose to the rank of Captain of Horse and Armour due to his performance in battle, but he began as a common soldier. He served as Lieutenant Field Master, General of the "Particulares" in the Kingdom of Naples, Governor of the fortress of Pescara, Field Master and Lord of the Castle of Capua, and finally Governor and Fortifier of the Castle of Barletta.San Francisco Javier was a Jesuit missionary, born in the Castle of Javier, Navarra in 1506. He died in China in 1552. He is depicted in one of the most habitual phases of his life, in which he prays to Native Americans. He is wearing a cassock, surplice and stole and holds a crucifix in his hand.

US Army / Unidentified Photographer V2 No.3, the first American rocket to reach outer space leaving ground after being ignited at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, 10 May 1946Vintage gelatin silver print on fibre-based paper, 20.8 x 25.3cm (8 x 10 in), original US Army Ordnance Proving Ground photograph, with printed caption "V-2 leaving ground after being ignited 10 May 1946" and "US Army Ordnance Proving Ground, White Sands, N.M." below imageFootnotes:The official boundary of space is the Karman line which lies at an altitude of 62.5 miles (100 km). Von Braun's V-2 rocket was the first man-made object to reach space, at an altitude of 189 kilometres (102 nautical miles) on a June 1944 test flight at Peenemünde in Germany. After WWII, Von Braun and several of his key co-workers were recruited as part of Operation Paperclip, securing critical missile and rocket technology for the US Army. Captured V-2 rockets were shipped to the United States. Firing from the Army's Proving Ground at White Sands, New Mexico, began in 1946 and marked the very beginning of the American space program. Launched on May 10, 1946, this V-2 No.3 was the first American rocket to reach outer space, at an altitude of 70 miles (see LIFE magazine, 27 May 1946, pp. 31-35: https://books.google.fr/books?id=ZEsEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA31&hl=fr&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=2#v=onepage&q&f=false).Condition Report: Two filing holes, crease in upper left corner, overall good.Condition Report Disclaimer

A RARE BOWIE KNIFE PRESENTED TO JOHN CAMPBELL, SURGEON, JALAPA 1847, GEORGE WOSTENHOLM & SON, I.XL, WASHINGTON WORKS, SHEFFIELD with curved blade formed with a clipped point, engraved with an eagle displayed, ‘None are genuine but those marked I.XL.’, the maker’s details and presentation inscription, iron cross-guard with scrolling terminals, Indian style carved brown hardstone grip, in its leather-covered wooden scabbard (light wear, chape missing), 30.2 cm blade LiteratureDavid Hayden-Wright, The Heritage of English Knives, Atglen, Pennsylvania, 2008, p. 234. The presentation inscription reads: John Campbell Surgeon Jalapa 1847 in Highest Esteem. On 18th April 1847 a force of thirteen thousand Mexican troops met nine thousand Americans at a mountain pass near Jalapa. Bitter hand-to-hand fighting ensued and the Mexicans were forced to flee. The American army continued, under General Winfield Scott, towards Mexico city, storming a Mexican fortress at Contreras and then routing a large Mexican force at Churubusco. It is likely that the founder of George Wostenholm & Son Ltd was George Wolstenholme (1775-1833), a fork maker at Thomas Lane. Apprenticed to John Micklethwaite, a cutler, in 1790 and granted his Freedom in 1799, George later moved to Broad Lane where he made spring knives. He was first listed in a Sheffield directory in 1816 as a pen and pocket knife manufacturer at Rockingham Street, where he had registered a silver mark in 1809. His workshops expanded to become Rockingham Works and he apparently shortened his name to ‘Wostenholm’ to facilitate its stamping on blades. His son, George Wostenholm (1802-1876) was apprenticed to his father and they are described in 1825 as ‘George Wolstenholme & Son, manufacturers of table knives, and forks, pen, pocket, and sportsman’s knives, and general dealers in cutlery, 78 Rockingham Street’. George Wostenholm became a Freeman in 1826, a practical cutler and a dynamic salesman he found scope for his prodigious energy in America where, in 1830, the father and son launched a partnership with William Stenton, an experienced cutlery merchant. However, this did not last and the partnership was dissolved the following year when they were also granted their trademark ‘I*XL. ‘, bought by George Senior in 1826 and originally granted to William Aldam Smith in 1787. In 1833 George Senior died and the business continued under his son who opened a New York office in 1844, and by the middle of the century had agents in Philadelphia and Boston. America was the ideal market with its expanding frontier and enormous demand for folding knives, razors, and weapons. The firm’s trade became almost exclusively American and Wostenholm made little attempt to nurture other markets. In 1848 the Washington Works was acquired and American orders continued to roll in. The workforce increased significantly to 850 in 1861, having been around a hundred or so in the 1830s. The high quality of the firm’s Bowie and spring knives was achieved by ‘drilling’, in which every knife was critically examined. It had the desired effect and soon ‘I*XL’ vied with Rodgers’ star and Maltese cross as a badge of quality. Like Rodgers, Wostenholm made its share of exhibition pieces. At the Great Exhibition in 1851 Wostenholm displayed a set of ornate sheath knives, including one commissioned from the well-known artist Alfred Stevens. The company also displayed a collection of exhibition multi-blades. The display won a Prize Medal for Wostenholm. The firm also carried off prize medals at exhibitions in Paris (1855) and London (1862). George Wostenholm had remarkable stamina. In early 1869, in his late sixties, he set off for a tour of Europe and in October the same year he made another trip to New York. In 1872, he again visited New York. He was active until the end, though he sold out to his business associates in 1875, when Wostenholm’s became a limited liability company. George Wostenholm died in 1876, aged 74 and left a remarkable fortune of nearly £250,000. The new company chairman and directors had little or no experience of the cutlery trade. Initially, Wostenholm’s continued to make good profit but the McKinley Tariff of 1890 raised the duties on their American exports to unprecedented heights and caused a crisis. Wostenholm’s refused to abandon the American trade and maintained an unprofitable New York office open until the early 1930s while they had little success breaking into the Australian and other markets. In the early 20th century they opposed machine technology and consequently were in decline a decade before the First World War. Not long after, Washington Works was becoming a relic. In 1971, Wostenholm was bought by Joseph Rodgers & Sons and the new company (Rodgers-Wostenholm) moved into premises at Guernsey Road, Heeley.

Count Jakob spent part of his youth in North Italy in the army of Charles V and later distinguished himself, in 1557, at Doulens in Picardy. In 1559 his uncle, Giovanni Angelo Medici became Pope Pius IV and the following year the family were elevated to counts, and their dominion Voralberg to an Imperial county. Count Hannibal went to the court of Philip II as papal envoy and, in 1564, took part as colonel in an impresa of the Spanish fleet against the Moorish pirates off the coast of Morocco. In 1574-76 and 1578-79 he was colonel of the regiments under Philip II defending the southern Netherlands and, under the leadership of Duke Alexander Farnese, conquered the fortress of Maastricht. His two year stay in the garrison at Antwerp provided an opportunity to acquire some important works of art, including some seven hundred painted wall coverings, the winged altar by an Antwerp master (circa 1510, now preserved in the Museum Ferdinandeum, Innsbruck) and groups of relief figures for the high altar of the newly built Hohenems parish church. In 1585 he was appointed Governor General of Rome and Vatican City by Pope Pius IV. Part proceeds to benefit the Acquisition Fund of the Arms and Armor department, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
