MINNIE ROSA BEBB ARWA (British 1857 - 1938) Floral Still Life Watercolour, signed and dated `Rosa Bebb 1900` 25cm x 33cm (9 13/16 x 13in). Note : Minnie Rosa Bebb was born in 1857, daughter of the artist James Bebb. She became popular for her meticulously painted works sentimentally portraying the Victorian ideal of the domesticated animal or pet (particularly cats and small dogs). Queen Victoria bought several of her works for her private rooms both at Osborne House and Balmoral and her popularity spread to the United States. Bebb also had a good commercial sense and was a pioneer in the production of early novelty Art cards or postcards, again usually her favourite cats. As with her paintings, these cards are today much sought after. She worked solidly throughout her life and continued to exhibit until her death in London in 1938 at the age of 80.

Ballater - a Scottish provincial Royal presentation plaid brooch by William Robb of Ballater, marked ROBB / BALLATER (in triangular punch), Edinburgh 1902 - 1903, of annular form with engraved panels of Celtic knot work and four Celtic bosses, inscribed to reverse `19 ERI 03` 8.7cm diameter, 3oz Notes: This plaid brooch is of the pattern worn by the Balmoral Highlanders. William Robb was commissioned on many occasions by King Edward and his mother Queen Victoria to make silver for the Royal family and also utilitarian wares for the dress uniforms of the Balmoral Highlanders. The Balmoral Highlanders were formed from the estate and household workers at Balmoral and performed ceremonial duties at the castle for state occasions and also at the local Highland gatherings etc. While the main order for uniforms from Robb was placed in 1904 earlier examples such as this do exist. The later engraved inscription to the reverse does seem to suggest that when the recipient left the estate employment he was presented with this piece. The main order placed to William Robb for Balmoral Highlanders uniform accessories in 1904 was for a complete set for twenty five men. The Highlanders had been in existence for sometime previous to this and had been in varying forms for over 30 years

Churchill’, 22nd September 1910, to Charlie [Charles Masterman, 1873-1927], `I am writing to [David] Shackleton and asking whether it will be convenient for him to come and see me on Monday or Tuesday. My plans for next week and the week after have been a little altered owing to the difficulty which attendeded [sic] my project for having a series of conferences within this period. Lloyd George has asked me to go and stay with him at Criccieth next week, and I have accepted for Wednesday unless, indeed, as is not impossible, I am commanded to Balmoral. Do not attach too great importance to your sensitive West Ham. The great mass of the electorate have had enough of politics for the present. I shall be at the Office on Monday. It would be nice if you and your wife could come and lunch’, typed on Home Secretary letterhead with black mourning border, salutation and signed sentiment in Churchill’s holograph along with the words `Private’ at top and `Wire’ at foot, one page with integral blank, some dust soiling and marks to blank verso, 4to. Charles Masterman stood as liberal candidate for West Ham North winning the seat in th 1906 general election. In 1908 Herbert Asquith appointed him as the government’s parliamentary secretary of the local government board. This was followed by periods as under secretary of state of the Home Office (1908-12) and financial secretary to the Treasury (1912-14). During the First World War Masterman acted as head of the government’s War Propaganda Bureau. Sir David Shackleton (1863-1938) was a cotton worker and trade unionist, becoming the third Labour member of parliament in the United Kingdom. In 1910, Winston Churchill invited him to join the civil service and Shackleton left parliament where he quickly rose to the rank of permanent secretary in the new Ministry of Labour. (1)
