Field Marshall John French Earl of Ypres. Strong fountain pen autograph signed on off white paper clipped from larger letter. Fixed to larger page. Field Marshal John Denton Pinkstone French, 1st Earl of Ypres, KP, GCB, OM, GCVO, KCMG, ADC, PC (28 September 1852 - 22 May 1925), known as Sir John French from 1901 to 1916, and as The Viscount French between 1916 and 1922, was a senior British Army officer. Born in Kent to an Anglo-Irish family, he saw brief service as a midshipman in the Royal Navy, before becoming a cavalry officer. He achieved rapid promotion and distinguished himself on the Gordon Relief Expedition. French had a considerable reputation as a womaniser throughout his life, and his career nearly ended when he was cited in the divorce of a brother officer whilst in India in the early 1890s. French became a national hero during the Second Boer War. He won the Battle of Elandslaagte near Ladysmith, escaping under fire on the last train as the siege began. He then commanded the Cavalry Division, winning the Battle of Klip Drift during a march to relieve Kimberley. He later conducted counter-insurgency operations in Cape Colony. During the Edwardian period he commanded I Corps at Aldershot, then served as Inspector-General of the Army, before becoming Chief of the Imperial General Staff (CIGS, the professional head of the British Army) in 1912. During this time he helped to prepare the British Army for a possible European war, and was also one of those who insisted, in the so-called "cavalry controversy", that cavalry still be trained to charge with sabre and lance rather than only fighting dismounted with firearms. During the Curragh incident he had to resign as CIGS after promising Hubert Gough in writing that the Army would not be used to coerce Ulster Protestants into a Home Rule Ireland. French's most important role was as Commander-in-Chief (C-in-C) of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) for the first year and a half of the First World War. He had an immediate personality clash with the French General Charles Lanrezac. After the British suffered heavy casualties at the battles of Mons and Le Cateau (where Smith-Dorrien made a stand contrary to French's wishes), French wanted to withdraw the BEF from the Allied line to refit and only agreed to take part in the First Battle of the Marne after a private meeting with the Secretary of State for War, Lord Kitchener, against whom he bore a grudge thereafter. In May 1915 he leaked information about shell shortages to the press in the hope of engineering Kitchener's removal. By summer 1915 French's command was being increasingly criticised in London by Kitchener and other members of the government, and by Haig, Robertson and other senior generals in France. After the Battle of Loos, at which French's slow release of XI Corps from reserve was blamed for the failure to achieve a decisive breakthrough on the first day, H. H. Asquith, the British Prime Minister, demanded his resignation. Haig, who was formerly French's trusted subordinate and who had saved him from bankruptcy by lending him a large sum of money in 1899, replaced him. French was then appointed Commander-in-Chief, Home Forces for 1916-18. This period saw the country running increasingly short of manpower for the Army. Whilst the Third Battle of Ypres was in progress, French, as part of Lloyd George's manoeuvres to reduce the power of Haig and Robertson, submitted a paper which was critical of Haig's command record and which recommended that there be no further major offensives until the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) was present in strength. He then became Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in 1918, a position he held throughout much of the Irish War of Independence (1919-1922), in which his own sister was involved on the republican side. During this time he published 1914, an inaccurate and much criticised volume of memoirs. Good Condition. All autographs are genuine hand signed and come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

signed 'Nessler' (lower left) oil on canvas (Dimensions: 39.50cm x 50cm)(39.50cm x 50cm)Footnote: Provenance The Hertfordshire County Council 'Pictures For Schools' collection' Their sale; Cheffins, 21 March 2019, lot 6, where acquired by the present owner Born in Leipzig, Germany, Nessler began his artistic career at the Castelli Italian School of Art, Dresden. Despite not being Jewish, he strongly opposed National Socialism, and eventually moved to London in 1937, joining the British army shortly thereafter. After the war, he studied sculpture at St Martin's School of Art and travelled to Paris, meeting the likes of Cocteau, Sartre, Picasso, Giacometti and Matisse. French modernism, particularly Cubism, exerted a strong influence on his subsequent work. The bright colours and geometric planes used to depict the landscape surrounding Jersey, the subject of numerous works in the early 1950s, reveals the artist's optimistic post-war outlook. Nessler first exhibited his work at the Molon Gallery in 1961. He also took part in several group exhibitions at the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of British Artists, and commercial galleries in London, the provinces, and abroad. A retrospective of his work was held in 1990, which coincided with his increasing recognition in Germany. Nessler's works are now held in numerous public collections internationally.Condition report: Oil on canvas. On the reverse of the painting is an area of modern adhesive which appears to be a crude repair to a tear at the right of the painting. Around this area are raised flakes of paint. The area appears pink under ultraviolet light suggesting it may have been retouched or reworked following the damage. Quite extensive cracking throughout.

Autumn and the Poet (study) chalk pastel on board (Dimensions: 54 x 75cm )(54 x 75cm )Footnote: Provenance The Artist, by whom gifted to Margaret Lliffe née Goodwin, by descent within the family Sale; TW Gaze, Diss, Suffolk, June 2011, where purchased by the present owner We are grateful to Dr Gill Clarke for her assistance with cataloguing this lot.Evelyn Dunbar (1906-60) was part of a neglected generation of artists whose lives and artistic output are now being reappraised and their contribution to the practice and spirit of twentieth century British art duly recognised. Dunbar had a profound understanding and love of the countryside and it is notable that she was the only woman commissioned, on a salaried basis, to record women’s activities on the Home Front during the Second World War. These works for the War Artists’ Advisory Committee and in particular her lyrical, yet unsentimental paintings of the Women’s Land Army provide an important documentary record of women’s contribution to the war effort.   Post war Dunbar gave more reign to her imagination and allegorical work and while living in the small village of Enstone and employed as a visiting teacher at The Ruskin School in nearby Oxford commenced work on Autumn and the Poet. Perhaps her most significant allegorical painting Autumn and the Poet was finally finished in her studio at Staple Farm, near Wye, Kent during 1958-59 having absorbed her intermittently for the previous 10 years or so. This present work is one of a number of preparatory depictions for Autumn and the Poet. The two figures symbolise “Autumn and the Poet” and are set against a backdrop of verdant Cotswold countryside at harvest time. Dunbar used her husband Roger Folley, an agricultural economist as her model for the poet, the completed work now in Maidstone Museum interestingly shows ‘the Poet’ reclining rather than seated. Much else remains the same including as here the mellow colours which convey the feeling of autumn glow as the light begins to fade. In Autumn’s right hand is gripped a long white sheet which bears the fruits of the earth, a comment on life brought to fruition. There is a sense of time passing and like the seasons, it comes full circle. Although the seasons and nature endure, Dunbar, a Christian Scientist may have had a sense of her own life coming to an end, and her inner thoughts to this effect are fused deep within the contours of the painting. She died suddenly within a year of finishing the painting. Evelyn Dunbar had signed Autumn and the Poet,a mark that it was completed.  Gill Clarke author of Evelyn Dunbar War and Country published by Sansom & Company.

His service in the Light Company of that regiment is shown by his wearing epaulettes on both shoulders and the appearance of a bugle-horn embroidered on a red patch at the end of his epaulette straps. The wearing of wings to indicate attachment to the Light Company only became common after 1797. His sword belt plate is of a previously unrecorded pattern that does not appear in H.G. Parkyn, Shoulder-Belt Plates and Buttons (Aldershot: Gale & Polden Ltd, 1956).An inscription on the frame suggests that this is a portrait of James Cuming. Cuming was born in Scotland 1768. He served in the West Indies 1793-1802, at the Cape of Good Hope 1806, South America 1807 and commanded the 47th Regiment of Foot in India 1808-1813.

At that date the elaborate sabretache, worn here from exceptionally long slings, disappeared as an encumbrance unsuitable for campaigning.

The 14th was given the title King's Light Dragoons after a review in July 1830 and thereafter adopted dark blue collars and cuffs with gold lace.

The yellow kurta or long coat was a traditional Indian garment but is here combined with a white metal helmet of Germanic style and long Heavy Cavalry boots and European horse furniture, despite the fact that this regiment was designated as Light Cavalry.
