or Margaretha Dietzsch (1726-1795)A botanical study of an Indian shot (Canna indica)gouache on vellum, unframed36 x 27.2cmFootnote: The Dietzsch family of artists flourished in 18th century Nuremberg, which was then one of the foremost centres of botanical art in Europe thanks to the patronage of the botanist Dr Christoph Jakob Trew (1695-1769). Johann Israel Dietzsch (1681-1754) had seven children who became artists, amongst whom Barbara Regina (1706-1783), Johann Christoph (1710-1769) and Margaretha (1726-1795) were employed by the Nuremberg court, specialising in botanical studies of flowers, fruit and insects in watercolour and gouache.The work of the Dietzsch family was highly sought after by collectors in both the Netherlands and England. Since they all treated similar subject matter on a dark prepared ground and their studies are rarely signed, it is difficult to distinguish with certainty the hand of the various family members. Today, fine examples of their work can be found in distinguished private and institutional collections worldwide, including the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.

(1) * There is an A.L.s. from David Jeffrey, School of Botany, T.C.D., dated 1982, after examining the Album, loosely inserted. He makes two comments, "First it is a remarkably comprehensive set for an amateur to collect, and represents a token or index of coastal pollution at that time,"ÿ Secondly, "the date 1857, is the second year of the Professorship in Botany of Wm. Harvey in T.C.D..... I suspect that he might have had a hand in the naming of the collection so fully and accurately..."

album, green cloth gilt with 'India 1895-1900 V.J.' stamped to the upper cover, 37 x 26cm, containing 18 watercolour sketches, mostly laid-in, with manuscript captions, showing Indian scenery with some depictions of local peopleFootnote: Note: Violet Jacob, neé Kennedy-Erskine, (September 1863 - September 1946) was a Scottish writer. Most often known for her novel, "Flemington", Jacob was also a Scots poet, described by Hugh MacDiarmid as "the most considerable of contemporary vernacular poets." Her poem, "The Wild Geese", has frequently been set to music as the Scottish folk song "Norland Wind". Boasting an impressive family history - one of her maternal great-grandfathers was King William IV - Jacob was raised around Montrose, writing in the Angus dialect and setting much of her work in the area.The collection of sketch albums here were predominantly created during Jacob's travels in India, with her husband, Arthur Otway Jacob, an Irish officer serving in the British Army. They demonstrate skill in both botanical and landscape illustration, and seem to be contemporary with Jacob's work "Diaries and Letters from India 1895-1900".

Luna has been created to represent folk law surrounding hares and The Moon. Luna is painted all over with a celestial theme. A Prussian Blue base, with grasses and wildflowers around her haunches representing morning, moving through a gold starry night sky to the gently glowing golden full moon on her forehead. Her three crescent moons represent the power of 3: the past, the present and the future. Artist: Nicola WarnerNicola is an eclectic artist mindfully creating whimsical watercolours and mixed media pieces, with a love of gold. Nicola's abstract art is often highly textured and many pieces feature her signature gold/brass leaf in amongst the mixed media and collages to which she is drawn. Conversely, some of her smaller 'lighter' pieces feature vintage inspired watercolours and home-made botanical inks. Intuitive, and using a varied colour palette, her work appeals to a variety of tastes. Nicola is also a keen photographer and uses her digital skills to create wall art. Sponsor: Clarke & SimpsonClarke and Simpson are a multi-disciplined independent and progressive firm of chartered surveyors.  We deal in all aspects of rural property and are one of the leading firms of auctioneers in the county of Suffolk.
