MUNNINGS ALFRED: (1878-1959) English Painter, famous for his images of horses. A.L.S., Alfred Munnings, four pages, 8vo, Dedham, Essex, 20th September 1946, to a friend (name illegible), evidently a young artist. Munnings states that he is pleased to hear that his correspondent is now aware of the 'racket….of the French artists & dealers' and urges him to obtain a copy of Addled Art by Lionel Lindsay, explaining 'You must get this whatever happens. He is an old Australian friend of mine. The book has been reviewed and I am afraid sold out'. Munnings continues to write that he is concerned at what his correspondent has written of the autumn and comments 'Millais, the great Millais, always worked in Scotland every year until the winter drove him home. 'Chill October' a 50 x 40 landscape was painted by the Tay out of doors day by day, 'Murthly Moss' the same 'Over the Hills & Far Away', a snow picture…'Blow Blow Thou Winter Wind' - Superb. What a fellow he was! At 23 he had painted 'The Order of Release' at the same age 'The Blind Girl' in Birmingham now. He did great landscapes every autumn. 'Autumn Leaves' another. Every year he began about now to get on with great pictures' and further adds 'You should by now have found a place where you would have battled it out right through & really set down the scene of English fields….Autumn is the best time of all & you are wrong & young to speak of “discordant” colors of autumn. Nature is never discordant….If you had found a place in Suffolk instead of going to France you would have been well on by now'. Munnings enquires about the academy his correspondent is affiliated to, warning 'Unless you do good work & can show the results you will not be able to go on with it. So begin in earnest' and in concluding writes 'I will send you the Life of Millais if you wish. It is a great book to read with many of his pictures in it.' In a postscript the painter reflects 'What I would give to be young again & no ties - no responsibilities & find a Suffolk scene & just go on painting there - no letters - no meetings & nothing but work'. A letter of fine content, not least for its references to Millais and his work. About EX John Everett Millais (1829-1896) English Painter and Illustrator, one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Lionel Lindsay (1874-1961) Australian Artist who published Addled Art in 1942. The work was a vituperative and anti-semitic attack on modernism in art. Munnings, too, was an outspoken critic of Modernism.

Some light staining and a few small tears to edges, not affecting text or signature. About G Mrs. Morson was employed as superintendent at Urania Cottage, a home for fallen women, which had been established by Dickens and Angela Burdett-Coutts at Shepherds Bush.
REYNOLDS JOSHUA: (1723-1792) English Portrait Painter, the founder and first president of the Royal Academy of Arts. A good D.S., J Reynolds, one page, slim oblong 8vo, n.p., 18th August 1786. The manuscript document, entirely in the hand of the painter, is a receipt for the sum of 'two hundred and sixty one pounds ten shillings' received from Woodcock 'for Pictures done for the late Earl of Tenet, in full of all demands'. Signed by Reynolds at the foot and with a blind embossed revenue stamp to the left of the document. Some very light, minor overall age wear and a few very small, neat tears to the edges of the folds, not affecting the text or signature, about VG Sackville Tufton (1733-1786) 8th Earl of Thanet, Lord Thanet ('Tenet') English Nobleman, the hereditary High Sheriff of Westmorland 1753-86. In their work A History of the Works of Sir Joshua Reynolds P.R.A. (Volume III, published by Henry Graves & Co. Ltd., London, 1899) Algernon Graves and William Vine Cronin record the existence of the present receipt and note that it was probably made by the executors of the Earl of Thanet (who had died in April 1786) and was most likely in payment for the whole length canvas painting of Mary, Countess of Thanet (the daughter of Lord John Sackville, Mary had married Lord Thanet in 1767 and died in September 1778) and that of the Hon. John Tufton (1773-1799, English Cricketer and Politician, son of Lord and Lady Thanet) and their accompanying frames. The painting of Lady Thanet is described by Graves and Cronin as being a profile pose against a landscape background, depicting her wearing a white dress, trimmed with gold, as she looks to her left, leaning her right arm on a pedestal, on which are some flowers, with her left hand holding her robe. Interestingly, Lady Thanet is recorded as having sat twice for Reynolds, in the February of 1770 and again in the same month the following year, some fifteen years before the artist received his payment. The painting was exhibited at the British Institution in 1833. The portrait of the young John Tufton depicts him in a playful full length pose accompanied by a dog who stands on his hind legs and rests his front paws in Tufton's hands. Wearing a simple green tunic and standing barefoot, Tufton looks directly towards the viewer as he poses by a tree. The painting has been described as a 'work of pre-eminent importance in Reynolds' oeuvre' and gives a 'reassuring view of… [Tufton]… in the untroubled contentment of the leisured class, a picture of health and happiness'. John Tufton's portrait is recorded as being the outcome of a single sitting, also some years before the present receipt was signed, on 3rd February 1777. The work was also exhibited at the British Institution in 1833. Reynolds enjoyed a good working relationship with the Thanet family. Indeed, in addition to the portraits of Lady Thanet and her son, the artist had also previously painted two elder brothers (in 1766-67) and Nelly O'Brien, the mistress of Lord Thanet (on two occasions between 1762-64). The executor referred to in the present document may have been the solicitor Edward Woodcock (d.1790) who was based at Lincolns Inn. The National Portrait Gallery hold three mezzotints of Woodcock by the engraver and printer Samuel William Reynolds (1773-1835), after Joshua Reynolds, published in 1838 by Hodgson & Graves. Provenance: The present receipt was formerly part of the inventory of the noted American autograph dealer Robert Batchelder (1927-2007) and is accompanied by his original catalogue description. Manuscript documents signed by Reynolds relating to the sale of his paintings rarely appear at auction; American Book Prices Current record only one other example having been previously sold, in 2005.
BINYON LAURENCE: (1869-1943) English Poet whose most famous work, For the Fallen, is used in Remembrance Sunday Services. Autograph Poem Signed, Laurence Binyon, two pages, 8vo, n.p. (London), n.d., on the blind embossed stationery of the British Museum. Binyon has boldly penned a fair copy of his famous World War I poem Men of Verdun (1917) which comprises ten stanzas using a rhyming scheme, commencing 'There are five men in the moonlight/ That by their shadows stand/ Three hobble, humped on crutches/ And two lack each a hand' and concluding 'For history's hushed before them/ Ane legend springs afresh/ Verdun, the name of thunder/ Is written on their flesh'. Signed by Binyon at the conclusion. An attractively presented poem, and rare in this form. VG Binyon was too old to enlist in World War I and instead volunteered his services at a British hospital for French soldiers, in the summer of 1916 taking care of soldiers who had participated in the Verdun battlefield. His experiences inspired several poems including Fetching the Wounded and The Distant Guns. The present poem differs slightly to other published versions - in the present example, Binyon commences the seventh stanza with the line 'The shadows, moving by them', whereas other published text reads 'The shadows, maimed and antic'. Manuscript copies of Binyon's poems rarely appear at auction - American Book Prices Current record only four others having been offered in the last forty years, including a manuscript draft of the fourth stanza of Binyon's other famous war poem, For the Fallen, which was sold by Bonhams as part of The Roy Davids Collection (Part III, Lot 50, 10th April 2013, hammer price £8000).
