A Second World War production brass ships bell, from His Majesty's Submarine (H.M.S/M) Scotsman, inscribed 'H.M Submarine Scotsman April 1943', with remnants of red, cream and blue paintwork, with clapper, the bell 23cms high, 24.5cms diameter.Notes:HMS Scotsman was a third-batch S-class submarine, ordered by the British Admiralty on 20 December 1941, during World War II. She was laid down in the Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company shipyard in Greenock on 15 April 1943 and was launched on 18 August 1944. On 9 December 1944, Scotsman, under the command of Lieutenant Alan H. B. Anderson, was commissioned into the Royal Navy.After anti-submarine and gunnery exercises off the River Clyde and Scapa Flow, Scotsman departed for Holy Loch on 24 March 1945, for additional training. During additional training on 7 April, the boat ran aground, forcing her to dock for repairs in Greenock until 28 May.With the war in Europe ended, on 11 June 1945 Scotsman departed Holy Loch to redeploy to the Pacific theatre of operations, where war was still being fought against the Japanese Empire. Along with her sister ship HMS Spur and HMS Turpin, she made the passage from Britain to Gibraltar, then to Malta. She continued on with Spur through Port Said, Aden, and Trincomalee to her unit based at Subic Bay, Philippines. Shortly before arriving, she sank a junk with gunfire west of the Island of Borneo. With the Surrender of Japan and the end of the war in the Pacific, the boat returned to Britain at Rothesay on 7 December 1945, after a stop in Hong Kong.In April 1947 she was taken in hand at Chatham Dockyard for reconstruction as a high-speed trials submarine. As completed the following year, her ballast tanks had been moved from the sides of the pressure-hull to its underside, all torpedo tubes removed, the conning tower cut down and streamlined, the existing diesel and electric motors taken out and replaced by a single Paxman diesel-generator set as fitted in U-class submarines and electric motors of the kind fitted in A-class submarines; two additional sets of batteries were also installed, doubling electrical storage. The new machinery gave a maximum of 3600shp and up to 17 knots submerged speed. Various further modifications to the conning tower and casing were made from 1950, with a large streamlined sail installed in 1952, and a new rounded bow in 1960.As rebuilt, Scotsman underwent a long series of trials, as well as taking part in the Fleet Review to celebrate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Her last duty was to be deeply submerged to test the crush-strength of her hull, in Kames Bay in 1964. Sunk as a result, the hull was raised by the Admiralty lifting craft LC10 and LC11, arriving at Troon on 19 November 1964 to be broken up by the West of Scotland Shipbreaking Company.

Robert Braithwaite Martineau (British, 1826-1869)The pet of the brood signed with initials, inscribed and dated 'RBM/NOV.59.' (lower left)oil on panel25.5 x 18cm (10 1/16 x 7 1/16in).Footnotes:ProvenanceC.P. Townsend, London.Anon. sale, Sotheby's Belgravia, 25 March 1975, lot 58.ExhibitedLondon, French Gallery, Pall Mall, The Seventh Annual Winter Exhibition of Cabinet Pictures , Sketches and Drawings, 1859.Literature'The Winter Exhibition', in The Athenaeum, 19 November 1859, no. 1673, p. 673.Robert Braithwaite Martineau operated on the fringe of the Pre-Raphaelite circle in London in the 1850s and 60s. He was a year older than William Holman Hunt, who was his close friend and artistic mentor, but died in 1869, aged only forty-three. The present painting is a valuable addition to the corpus of his known works.Martineau was born in London, the fifth son of eight children of Philip and Elizabeth Martineau. He was educated at University College School, and in 1842 followed family tradition by commencing a career as a solicitor. In 1846, however, he decided to devote himself to art, first enrolling as a student at Cary's School, and then two years later at the Royal Academy schools. In April 1856 William Michael Rossetti, writing to William Bell Scott, described a visit to the house in Claverton Street, Pimlico, where Hunt, Martineau and Michael Halliday were then living. As Rossetti explained, 'joined with [Hunt] there are Halliday and Martineau, whom you may have heard of, or possibly seen; the latter an artist, the former something between artist and amateur. Both go in for Preraphaelitism, and both look up to Hunt with a genuine reverence and affection'.Martineau's first recorded painting, Kit's Writing Lesson (Tate collection), was done under Hunt's supervision and took its subject from Charles Dickens's 'The Old Curiosity Shop' (1841). This was followed in 1856 by a second subject on the theme of literacy and the need for education among the disadvantaged sections of community entitled The Spelling Lesson (Musée d'Orsay, Paris). Martineau seems to have worked quite slowly and probably had periods of professional inactivity. He was only an intermittent exhibitor at the Royal Academy, but he did participate in the various independent displays of progressive work that were staged in the later 1850s, including the 1857 Russell Place Pre-Raphaelite exhibition and in 1857-8 the three-venue touring exhibition of British art in the United States. He was a founder member and treasurer of the secessionist Hogarth Club, set up in 1858. Probably his most famous painting was the moral modern-life subject, The Last Day in the Old Home (Tate collection), of 1862 – the narrative of which is unambiguous and which shows a young man, surrounded by wife and children, apparently unmoved by the consequences of his fecklessness.By contrast, The Pet of the Brood is without didactic or moralistic overtones, but instead simply shows a female child, dressed in rustic fashion and standing in the open air with a background of foliage and grass, holding in her left hand a pigeon or dove. A play on words was likely to have been intended, as either or both the bird and the girl may be regarded as the pet – the bird perhaps tamed by the child, or the girl herself, who may perhaps have been the youngest of a number of siblings and the object of loving attention by her brothers and sisters. The mood of the subject is a happy one but without untoward sentimentality. In this sense it marks a progression on the part of Martineau towards a type of work which was more personal and relaxed and which served a purely decorative purpose.We are grateful to Christopher Newall for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
