Erskine Nicol RSA ARA (1825 - 1904)'It Won't Slip this Time'Oil on canvas, 100 x 70cmSigned and dated 1874Erskine Nicol was a Scottish painter whose frequent visits to and love for Ireland allowed him to slip into our collective of Irish artists. First visiting the country in 1846, Nicol became enamoured by scenes of Irish rural life and continued to paint such subjects for the length of his career. It is interesting to note the difference with which Nicol addressed his Irish subjects compared to the approach used when painting his fellow Scotsman. In the current lot, we are presented with a Scottish fisherman. Despite his flaming red hair, we are immediately alerted to his nationality by the presence of his Balmoral Bonnet, a hat traditionally worn in the Scottish highlands. This differs from the dress of his Irish models that are usually shown with the customary soft ‘top hat’.Unlike hunting and shooting, fishing was a sport for every class and it is fair to assume that this man is of the same social standing as Nicol’s rural Irish subjects. However, the Victorian age was a time in which science was developed and devoured with an insatiable hunger and several theories were spread regarding the evolution of man and its effects on the present physical make up of different races. In particular, physiognomy became popular, a study in which an emphasis was placed on the formation of the head in order to tell someone’s character or race. Still in the grips of a colonial Britain, such ideologies were placed onto the Irish population and, affected by these concepts, Nicol often transferred various attributes onto his depictions of Ireland and her inhabitants. In particular, Nicol would use the angle and size of his subject’s nose in order to portray their social character. A small, upturned nose was seen as denoting an uneducated demeanour and was often falsely applied to an Irish face. In contrast, we see Nicol’s Scotsman as boasting a strong and straight nose, casting him in a more favourable light.Regardless of who he is painting, it is evident, through his work, that Nicol held a genuine fondness and sympathy for those that he illustrated. In this piece, delicate brushstrokes bring his fisherman’s face to life, enabling us to feel the determination with which he works. Such empathy turns a figure into a story and we cannot help but root for his success. Behind him, the wistful rendering of the receding mountains is obscure enough to allow the viewer to place the scene in any mountain pass, bringing a personal romanticism to the piece. In a similar manner, Nicol’s Irish scenes were painted so as to mimic each and every town, their caricatured tenants, as here, easily taking the form of a brother, sister, neighbour or acquaintance.

VICTORIA, QUEENTULLOCH, W.W., WORKS WITH THE QUEEN'S MANUSCRIPT CORRECTIONS [Life of Queen Victoria. 1887] 2 volumes, 8vo, proof copy with manuscript corrections said to be in the hand of Queen Victoria (and seemingly to be in her hand); [Idem] The Story of the Life of the Prince Consort... London: James Nisbet & Co., 1887. 8vo, inscribed "For the Queen" to half-title, with several manuscript corrections, probably by Tulloch, with several bound-in notes; and a copy of Tulloch's 1887 The Story of the Life of Queen Victoria; Photograph album of the family of Principal John Tulloch, including several family photographs, but also photographs of Scottish scenes by James Valentine, various University professors, a golfing photograph including Tom Morris and photographs of Queen Victoria, Prince Alfred, the Prince and Princess of Wales and Balmoral Castle; Principal John Tulloch certificate appointing John Tulloch one of the Chaplains in Ordinary in Scotland, dated 29th July 1859, signed by A. Carnegy Ritchie and George Dalziel, with red seal , framed and glazed (6)Provenance: From the family of the author, W. W. Tulloch.Note: The two volumes entitled "Life of Queen Victoria" subsequently became Tulloch's 1887 "The Story of the Life of Queen Victoria". Although the volumes are not signed by the Queen, several annotations seem to be hers. For example, in part iii "The Young Wife and Mother", the proof copy states on p.89: ...one of Her Majesty's ladies-in-waiting, writes "that the Queen's look and manners were very pleasing; her eyes much swollen with tears... The latter part of the sentence has been crossed through, and "omit not true" written in the outer margin. This section of the sentence does not appear in the final version. The second volume of the proof copy, containing a fuller version of the text, states on the title-page "This contains the Queens [sic.] own corrections and her own writing, WWT." This volume contains small corrections and annotations, such as a ruled through section on p.24 with the pencil note "a complete myth". Other notes, possibly in Tulloch's hand, are in ink. One such note reads: Would the Queen graciously permit the subsequent letter with which Her Majesty honoured Mr. Tulloch to appear here? A pencilled reply below reads: Certainly, with an indistinct initial, which may be "VR". Tulloch's connection to Queen Victoria may have developed through his father, Principal John Tulloch, who was one appointed of Her Majesty's Chaplains for Scotland. This led him to preach several sermons for the Queen. The accompanying photograph album and certificate of appointment relate to John Tulloch. He was evidently well connected - not only does the album feature photographs of the Queen and her family, but also of figures such as Tom Morris, playing golf at St Andrews, where Tulloch was principal of St Mary's College.
