We can all feel pride in his great sacrifice….', 1st October 1915), James Lowther (Speaker of the House of Commons 1905-21; in part, 'The House of Commons has lost in your younger son one of its most promising members, who though he did not often take part in debate….showed that he possessed a firm grasp of his subject….We can ill spare such men and the House of Commons will mourn while it honours him….', 3rd October 1915), Joseph Herbert Cunliffe (British Politician, 2; in part, 'No one could be constantly & closely associated with Harold like I was for several years without realising the nobility & loveableness of his character…..He was I think the most completely unselfish man I ever met. It was so like him to want to go back & fight with the battalion', 2nd October 1915, and 'I am greatly touched by your assurance of Harold's regard for me, & also by the clause in his will….even if the legacy were intrinsically valueless I should prize it for his sake & as an evidence of his kindly feeling for me…..You had every reason to be proud of your boys. I knew Harold of course much more intimately than Stephen & I can truly say he was the very soul of honour….I do not know whether Harold told you that our only boy….got a commission in the Field Artillery last March. He has been out on the Western Front nearly three months & is in the fighting that is now going on. I need not say it is an anxious time for us', 11th October 1915), Anna Philips (of The Park, Prestwich, Manchester; in part, 'I called upon you about 10 days ago to learn how your able son was keeping & the Butler addressed to me he was perfectly safe as he was serving on the Staff….Now I learn he is no longer amongst that brave band of Lancashire men who are doing such wonders in the Dardanelles…..Many times I have thought what a fine political future lay before your able son….', 1st October [1915]), Baron Channing of Wellingborough (American-born British Barrister, Academic and Politician; in part, 'I have just read with the utmost sorrow of this second blow that has come upon you…..I knew him [Harold] just well enough in that last Parliament to know the gentleness & the strength & generous and modest spirit of his fine nature. I know how proud you must have been of his splendid devotion to duty though at times one cannot but mourn that men of such promise should go out to face the terrible dangers of this most appalling war.', 11th October 1915), Walter Long (British Unionist Politician, Secretary of State for the Colonies 1916-19; in part, 'Your son had won the respect & admiration of his opponents & I feel sure he would have made his mark in Parliament had he been spared: he is a real loss to House of Commons….', 1st October 1915), H. W. B. Joseph (British Philosopher; in part, 'I still remember very clearly my first acquaintance with him [Harold] when he came up as a freshman, & how attractive he then was; & further knowledge of him brought no change except to like better…..It is grievous to see so many of those who should have carried on the work of the country in the next generation….falling in this ravenous war.', 2nd October 1915), Arthur Dewar (Lord Dewar, Scottish Politician & Judge; in part, 'Your boys were among the best men & loyal sons I ever knew…..you will be comforted by the knowledge that they died as they had lived - like brave and good men…..I had read Masterman's article in the Nation. It was very good; but nothing that could be written about either Stephen or Harold could exaggerate their real worth. I am glad to say that my boy was not dangerously wounded. But he had four bullets before he fell. In the head - the back - wrist and thumb. He had a narrow escape, but he is safely in hospital in London & going on very well……This is the second time he has been wounded & fortunately his nerve is as good as ever. It is not perhaps quite patriotic, but we hope that his convalescence may take some time.', 25th October 1915), Arthur Ponsonby (British Politician, Writer & Social Activist who opposed the British involvement in World War I; in part, '….I feel most deeply for you in the loss of your son because I knew him and counted him as one of my friends in the House. I was very much struck by him from the time he first came in. He had undoubtedly great ability…..in the rough and tumble of political life such figures are rare and can ill be spared…..This is the second loss you have suffered in this terrible war…..Those who have gone are perhaps more fortunate than those who have to live on and bear the almost intolerable burden of the loss of their dearest companions', 2nd October 1915), Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Harry Verney (British Politician; in part, 'Harold was such a splendid fellow: I don't believe he had an enemy in the House or out of it….', 2nd October 1915), Baron Pentland (Scottish Politician, Governor of Madras 1912-19; in part, 'These recollections help me to measure in some degree the suffering and darkness which have come upon you and your family in the loss of these bright and gallant spirits…', 2nd November 1915), John Barlow (British Businessman & Politician; in part, 'I am sure that if you could have heard as I did the expressions of regret with which the news was received in the lobbies of the House it would have told you not only the deep personal feeling of loss which many of us have but the great liking & appreciation which many of us had for Harold.', 2nd October 1915) etc. Some light age wear, generally VG, 16

How often one wishes that the older men of the nation could fight its battles & bear the losses instead of its best hope & promise', 14th September 1918), Ian Macpherson (1st Baron Strathcarron, Under Secretary of State for War during World War I; in part, 'I have been hesitating to write to you in the hope that we should receive some news which would relieve the terrible anxiety which you must be undergoing.

I earnestly trust that your worst fears may not be realised and that he may be found to have been safely withdrawn to some hospital under enemy control…..those of us, who, like myself, knew Harold as well as Oswald are able to measure the extent of your sacrifice. It seems only yesterday that I had the honour and pleasure of introducing Oswald to the House of Commons, where he received so ardent a welcome…..', 3rd September 1918). A poignant group of letters.

Zacharie Rimbez (French, 19th/early 20th century), a patinated and parcel gilt bronze bust of an Ottoman maiden, circa 1880-1890, with striped headdress and locks of hair flowing across the left shoulder, adorned with jewellery and medallions across a foliate cast garment, the head turned slightly to sinister, on square section tiered base with cartouche detail, 66 cm high CATALOGUE NOTES: This bust by Zacharie Rimbez is a prime example of sculpture in the Orientaliste taste, a romanticising take on Near Eastern artistic styles and subject matter fashionable in nineteenth-century France. Though the cartouche on the base of the present example is not inscribed, other versions of this model bear the name 'Saida', suggesting that this is a portrait bust of a particular person or character. This is very much in line with Rimbez' practice, as he often drew inspiration from Orientalist characters in history and fiction. A notable example of this is his bust of Armida, the Saracen sorceress from Torquato Tasso's Gerusalemme Liberata.A gilt version of the present model was sold at Christie's New York, Orientalist Art, 19 April 2006
