Two WWI trench maps consisting of Ploegsteert Edition 5D 18.07.18 and 1916 dated; France Sheet 36B N.E. Edition 7, pencil signed at head "XI Chester[?] A. Taylor", together with an earlier OS England and Wales map sheet 148, signed in pen & ink at head "A. Taylor "C" Coy". Arthur Taylor (1898-1914), Lieutenant 4th Bn. attd. 11th Bn. Cheshire Regiment, died on Wednesday 10th April 1918, and is commemorated at the Ploegsteert Memorial, Comines-Warneton, Hainaut, Belgium. (3)Arthur Taylor was born in Macclesfield and won a County Scholarship to the Modern School (Macclesfield Grammar School) in 1909. He was academically gifted, being School Captain in what should have been his last year, 1915-16, and had secured a Scholarship at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, but did not take his place at Cambridge, as he, and the other prefects, were conscripted in 1916. Commissioned into the 4th Cheshires, he was attached into the 13th Battalion following its heavy losses at Passchendaele. In February 1918 this battalion merged with the 11th and Arthur was transferred as Acting Lieutenant, just before the German spring offensive of March and April 1918. During this offensive the 11th were swept back by the Germans and suffered heavy losses. On the 8th of April they took up station in the line south of Ploegsteert wood, before a heavy German bombardment followed by an assault from the Germans on the 10th. Forced to shelter when virtually surrounded in the remains of the wood, after some resistance they were forced to withdraw on the 12th, when they did 662 men and 18 officers were casualties, 17 of them reported killed. Arthur's exact fate is not clear, he was reported as a P.O.W. in Germany, however, he was not seen again, it is possible he died or was killed after being taken prisoner on the battlefield by German stormtroopers

A Victorian turret clock and bell by Gillett & Johnston, Croydon, dated 1895, the twin-barrel movement, signed to the frame 'Gillett & Co.', and to the silvered setting dial, 'Gillett & Johnston, Croydon',54.5cm wide 34cm deep45cm highsetting dial 8.5cm diameter,with a patinated copper dial,with Roman numerals, with raised shamrocks to the spandrels, 76.5cm square,with nine cast iron weights, 18 to 20cm diameter,an ash pendulum, with a weight,125.5cm long,a cast bell, numbered '1503' and 'Gillett & Johnston, Croydon, 1895',top bar 68cm wide 38.5cm diameter34cm high,a crank handle, four pulleys, a wood cradle and a cast iron wheel, cast '1ft 9in RG', anda collection of rods (qty.)Provenance: Elveden Hall Stables.The original inventory from Gillett & Johnston, dated 7 May 1898, shows that William Young - the architect Lord Iveagh had commissioned to make alterations at Elveden Hall and stables - placed the order which reads: 'Lord Iveagh Elveden Stables Elveden Hall Thetford '8637' / No 1 striking 3 Bell & Hangings / Two 3'6" sq copper black and gold with cast brass shamrock in each corner / Carriage / Fixing / Must go check with once winding / Not carpenters work or scaffold / Net 130 / July 19 / 4 1/4 Bell - Extra 7.10 / Extra Weight for larger bell 2.10'.The firm of Gillett & Johnston can trace its roots back to the clockmaker William Gillett who moved from Hadlow, Kent, to Clerkenwell in 1837. In 1844 he relocated again, this time to Union Road, Thornton Heath, Croydon. Charles Bland became a partner in 1854 and the company subsequently traded as Gillett & Bland. In 1877, Arthur A Johnston (c.1851-1916) bought a partnership, and shortly afterward, extended the company's output by establishing a bell foundry. The business became known as Gillett, Bland & Co. until Bland's death in c.1884 when the name was changed to Gillett & Co. The name Gillett & Johnston seems to have been used from around 1887. Arthur Johnston's son, Cyril Frederick Johnston (1884-1950), joined the company in 1902, became a partner in 1907, and took over the firm following his father's death in 1916. He developed an interest in the theory of bell tuning, and greatly expanded the bell founding side of the business. During the First World War, the factory suspended its regular business and became involved in the manufacture of munitions, employing over 1,250 men and women. The firm became a limited liability company in 1925, initially trading as the Croydon Bell Foundry Ltd. (although the name 'Gillett & Johnston' still appeared on bells). It reverted to the name Gillett & Johnston Ltd. in 1930. After going into receivership in 1957, the company was subsequently reborn and still trades today as clockmakers specialising in the maintenance and restoration of turret clocks.Condition ReportWorn, all pieces with wear and no hands for the clock. In need of restoration.
William Wood (British, 1769-1810)A portrait miniature of Lieutenant Colonel Henry Davis (born 1763), wearing the uniform of the Light Dragoons, his French Grey coatee with silver lace and buttons, his red collar outlined with silver, his white leather shoulder belt secured with a silver lace shoulder cord. Watercolour on ivory, signed on the reverse, By/ Will: Wood/ of Cork Strt,/ Lond. and inscribed beneath, now/ dead, backed with card signed, E W Thomson/ Miniature Painter/ New Bond Street/ Enquire at Mr Orme's Print Seller, gold frame, the reverse glazed to reveal a ground of plaited brown hair within a surround of plaited blond hair. Oval, 85mm (3 3/8in) highFootnotes:ProvenanceSold Bonhams, London, 23 November 2005, lot 94LiteratureWilliam Wood, Memorandum of Miniatures Painted and Finished by William Wood, 1790-1808, vol.III, folio 5824 or 5830William Wood produced two portrait miniatures of Davis in 1801. The first finished on 14 February and delivered on 22nd February (costing £5 and £5/10/- for the frame). The second began on 15 February, finished on 21 February and delivered on 28 February (costing £10/10/- presumably for both miniature and frame). Both miniatures were framed by Flower. The overlapping time frame of the two miniatures implies that Wood was commissioned right from the beginning to paint two versions. In his fee book, Wood describes the sitter as, 'about 38 years old, shows chiefly right side and looking on'.In this portrait miniature, Henry Davis is wearing his Lieutenant Colonel uniform - a rank he obtained in the 25th Light Dragoons in January 1800. In May of the same year he was promoted to Major. In June 1799 Colonel Arthur Wellesley, later the Duke of Wellington, raised a military force in the north of Mysore, comprising the 25th Light Dragoons and the 73rd and 77th Regiments of Foot. Details of Lieutenant Colonel Davis' military history are limited but it is fair to assume, he served as part of this operation. The regiment disbanded in 1819, when the 25th Light Dragoons returned to Portsmouth on HMS Mangles from Madras.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: Y ФY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the UK, see clause 13.Ф This lot contains or is made of ivory and cannot be imported into the USA or any country within the EU.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Circa 85,000-40,000 B.C. Comprising twenty transverse style arrowheads. 149 grams total, 30-47 mm (1 1/8 - 1 7/8 in.). From Grotte des Pigeons in Taforalt, Morocco. From the Arthur Halcrow Versage collection, Reigate, Surrey, UK. The tang would have been inserted into a split handle or shaft material, like wood or bone, and then bound in position with cord, or with a binding agent which would have harden to form a permanent bond. The Aterian is the name given to a distinctive stone tool industry made by anatomically modern humans between about 80,000 and 40,000 years ago. The tools are found on sites in northern Africa between the Atlantic coast to the Kharga Oasis and the western edge of the Nile River Basin. The manufacturing process for these tools is derived from the earlier Mousterian methods for working stone, using prepared and shaped cores from which were struck off large flakes which were then often unifacially trimmed into the desired tool shapes. They continued with the same basic stone working processes, but with a major conceptual difference. The Aterian style tools are the first to have clearly been designed and manufactured to be mounted on handles, with the projectile points and the scrapers having distinctive prepared tangs at the base of the tool or projectile point.

Omega Workshops; Arthur Clutton-Brock & Roald Kristian (ill.): 'Simpson's Choice: An Essay on the Future Life', London, Omega Workshops Ltd., 1915, 1st edition, limited to 500 copies only, 3 full-page wood-engraved illustrations, numerous head and tail-pieces, and decorative opening initials by Roald Kristian as called for, printed under the direction of J.H. Mason, 4to, original cloth backed pictorial paper covered boards. The Omega Workshops was a design enterprise founded by members of the Bloomsbury Group in July 1913, with the intention of providing graphic expression to the essence of the Bloomsbury ethos. The Workshops was also closely associated with the Hogarth Press, with Roger Fry, Duncan Grant, and Vanessa Bell as its directors. Wyndham Lewis was also initially part of the operation, and whilst Fry was keen to encourage a Post-Impressionist influence in designs produced for Omega, Cubist and Fauvist influences are also apparent, particularly in many of the textile designs. Unfortunately Omega Workshop was short-lived and closed down in 1919, 'Simpson's Choice' was the first work to be published at the Omega Workshop, and was to be one of only four books completed by the Press.

JAMES WHITELAW HAMILTON RSA RSW (SCOTTISH 1860 - 1932), WESTMORLAND oil on canvas, signed, titled label versoframedimage size 56cm x 69cm, overall size 78cm x 92cm Labels verso: T. &. R. Annan & Sons, Ltd., Glasgow.Note: James Whitelaw Hamilton was born on 26 November 1860, the eldest child to wood turner James Hamilton and his wife Mary Stevenson of 1 Morris Place Glasgow. His parents moved the family to Helensburgh and lived at Thornton Lodge, 107 Sinclair Street, Helensburgh. Whitelaw Hamilton displayed an aptitude for painting at an early age, and after studying in Glasgow, he moved to Paris and studied at the studios of Pascal-Adolphe-Jean Dagnan-Bouveret and Aimé Morot, both considered leading lights of the 19th Century French Movement - specialising in landscapes and portraiture. Whitelaw Hamilton's landscapes have a rugged and raw quality but he did not limit his work to one medium being equally successful using oils, pastels and watercolours. Not surprisingly, given Helensburgh's reputation as a centre for artists, Whitelaw Hamilton became friends with the Glasgow Boys. In 1884, he joined Guthrie, Henry, Crawhall and Melville at Cockburnspath. EA Walton, who spent his winters at Thornton Lodge, and James Guthrie were to remain friends with Whitelaw Hamilton throughout their lives. They shared similar ideals and spent many years in Helensburgh recording the urban lifestyle of the wealthy residents in the town. Whitelaw Hamilton married Lillian Millar Shaw of 12 Lynedoch Place, Glasgow at St Mary's Episcopal Church on 9 September 1891. He and Lillian took residence in the Grange, 23 Suffolk Street, Helensburgh, the home that he was to remain in for the rest of his life. Whitelaw Hamilton exhibited abroad as often as he did at home. He became a member of the Munich Secession and won a gold medal at the Munich International Exhibition in 1897. He became a member of the New English Art Club in 1887, a member of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1922 and a member of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolours in 1895. He also held the position of Hon. Secretary, Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts. He suffered personal loss in 1918, when his son Lt. Arthur Leslie Hamilton was killed in action in Mesopotamia on 25 October, serving with the 1st Highland Light Infantry. A portrait of his son was completed by James Guthrie and is held within the collection of the Glasgow Art Gallery. James Whitelaw Hamilton died in Helensburgh on 16 September 1932 aged 71. His work is represented in Glasgow Art Gallery, Perth Art Gallery, City of Edinburgh Collection, Lillie Art Gallery, The Hunterian, Perth & Kinross Council, Kirkcaldy Museums & Galleries, Paisley Museum & Art Galleries, Dundee Art Gallery, Kelvingrove, The Royal Scottish Academy, Walker Art Gallery, Weimar Art Gallery in Germany and other public collections.
