II: Civil War Medals, Edward Montagu, 2nd Earl of Manchester, 1643, a cast and chased silver military reward, unsigned, armoured bust facing three-quarters left, rev. Montagu arms, coronet above, wreath border of two narrow rows of laurel leaves on both sides, 31 x 27mm, 7.87g (Platt II, p.233, type E; MI I, 309/137; E 143A var.). Good very fine, undoubtedly a contemporary original, very rare £400-£600 --- Provenance: Marquess of Bute Collection, Part III, Sotheby Auction, 2 July 1951, lot 56 (part); C.H. Hartmann Collection, Sotheby Auction, 13 November 1967, lot 3; SCMB February 1968 (M 320). This specimen is far superior in manufacture and image to virtually all others found on the market (including those described by Platt), which are almost always not even after-casts, but 18th century copies. The medallist for the portrait was very accomplished, probably on the Parliamentary side, but unfortunately unknown. Edward Montagu, 2nd Earl of Manchester (1602-71) was Major General commanding the Eastern Association Army of the seven counties of Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Huntingdonshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. He was Cromwell’s commander until the New Model Army was formed

V: Original Medals by Simon, The Trial and Acquittal of John Lilburne, London, 1649, a struck silver-gilt medal, unsigned [by D. Ramage after T. Simon], draped bust left, iohn lilborne saved by the power of the lord and the integrity of his ivry who are ivges of law as wel as fact oct 26 1649, rev. myles petty ste iles abr smith ion king, etc around central rose, 34mm, 13.66g (Platt II, p.202, type A; MI I, 385/3; E 177). Good very fine, very rare £900-£1,200 --- Provenance: T.K. Mackenzie Collection, Glendining Auction, 11-12 April 1922, lot 29 (part); R.C. and O.M.W. Warner Collection; R.E. Ockenden Collection [from O.M.W.W. 1964]; bt R.E.O. John Lilburne (1614-57), a Puritan who converted to the Quaker religion in the year before his death, fought for the Parliamentarians in the Civil War and was present at Edge Hill and Marston Moor, although between these two engagements he had been captured by royalists while in the parliamentary garrison at Brentford. An agitator for the the freeborn rights of Englishmen, he spent most of the later 1640s incarcerated in the Tower for denouncing his former military commander, the Earl of Manchester, as a royalist sympathiser. A campaign to free him spawned a new political party, the Levellers, which had a strong following in the New Model Army although Lilburne had begun to see the reality of life under Cromwell’s diktat and his supporters actively agitated for King Charles’s son, in exile in France, to finance the Leveller movement. Parliament passed a motion for Lilburne to be tried for high treason, as the King had been, but unlike the case of the monarch, a jury of 12 would decide Lilburne’s fate. The trial, which started on 24 October 1649, lasted two days and the jury, whose names are on the reverse of the medal, found him not guilty. For the next two years Lilburne remained politically inactive, but after a dispute concerning the ownership of collieries in his native co Durham, he was sentenced to pay a fine of £3,000 to the state and was banished for life. These medals were attributed to Simon by Vertue, and the portraiture (bust punch) is certainly Simon’s work. Hawkins was sceptical, rightly so; later studies show that the medal was almost certainly the first major work of David Ramage (cf. DNW 160, 411), incorporating as it does punches for symbols also used on Ramage’s 17th century tokens. This would have been a private commission, probably sponsored by Lilburne himself. It was to commemorate his acquittal at trial for libelling Cromwell and Ireton, and it is illustrated in the frontispiece of the pamphlet Lilburne issued on 28 November 1649, The Triall of Lieut Collonell John Lilburne, by an extraordinary or special Commission of Oyear and Terminer at the Guild-Hall of London, the 24, 25, 26. Of Octob. 1649 (Wing 338).

Simon, bust left, battle scene in background, signed tho.simon.fe below, the lord of hosts word at dvnbar septem y 3 1650, rev. view of the Long Parliament, 36 x 31mm, 18.52g (Lessen, BNJ 1981, p.119 and pl. ix, 9, this piece; Nathanson p.24; MI I, 392/14; E 181a). Small piercing for suspension, very fine, reverse better, peripheral reddish toning, excessively rare and important; the only known original striking in gold £15,000-£20,000 --- Provenance: M. Gutman Collection, Part V, Parke Bernet Galleries Auction (New York), 15 May 1970, lot 151. This was made by Simon in 1651 in response to unknown official orders, probably from the Council of State, as a reward for the victorious battle over the Scottish army at Dunbar on 3 September 1650. Its distribution is unclear. This is the only original large medal known in gold, and only two are currently recorded in silver. All other examples are 18th to 20th century restrikes from original and false dies. There is no original large Dunbar medal in any metal in any major museum in Britain. Further detail regarding its examination by Dr M.S. Tite at the British Museum Research Laboratory on 12 June 1976 is sold with the lot

About extremely fine £100-£150 --- Provenance: R.C. and O.M.W. Warner Collection; bt Baldwin 1968. Henry Cromwell (1628-74), fourth son of Oliver, served in his father’s New Model Army, but spent most of the decade while his father was in power in Ireland, becoming commander of the Irish Army in August 1654. On 16 November 1657 he was appointed Lord Lieutenant. Upon Charles II’s accession the restored Rump Parliament ordered him to deliver up the government of Ireland and return to England, which he did at the end of June 1660. Cromwell retired to Spinney Abbey, Wicken, Cambridgeshire, a property he purchased in 1661

These satirical medals reflect a Dutch commentary on the replacement of Sir Thomas Fairfax as commander-in-chief of the Parliamentary army by Oliver Cromwell, and that Cromwell ‘played Fairfax for a fool’ (Platt I, pp.349-50). The medallist is unknown, the style is after the Pope/Devil - Cardinal/Fool reformation medals and compare with the 1678 medal by George Bower on the subject of the Popish Plot

I have given him carte blanche to cut and change the text as he pleases... this is fair, for words as elastic as ideas, and typemetal isn't elastic at all. He has the harder job...' (31 August 1924).

He negotiated the surrender of Oxford, Charles I's headquarters during the wars between 1644 and 1646, and attended the King during his impeachment. The prototype for this picture is most probably a half-length portrait, signed and dated 1656, in the collection of the Duke of Northumberland at Syon House. While other versions exist, this is the only one that includes the pike-men in the background and it has been suggested that it could have been painted by a member of Walker's studio shortly after the artist's death in 1658 (Gibson, op.cit.). The portrait certainly postdates 1660 since, although Seymour was created knight of the Garter in 1650, he was not in fact installed until 1660, and no other portrait shows him wearing the Badge of the Order.This picture formed part of Clarendon's collection of portraits that decorated his celebrated picture gallery at Clarendon House, Piccadilly, built between 1664 and 1667 to designs by Roger Pratt. These portraits included notable figures from the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I, but also of men and women he had known and written about in his famous History of the Great Rebellion and Life. After dining with Clarendon's eldest son, Henry Hyde, Viscount Cornbury, John Evelyn wrote the following entry in his diary for 20th December 1668: 'I dined with my Lord Cornbury at Clarendon House now bravely furnished, especially with the pictures of most of our ancient and modern wits, poets, philosophers, famous and learned Englishmen' (J. Evelyn, The Diary of John Evelyn, II, W. Bray (ed.), New York and London, 1901, p. 45).Condition Report: Canvas has been relined and re-varnished.
