Rory Breslin (b.1963) MASK OF THE BLACKWATER bronze; (no. 1 from an edition of 3) signed at top 24 by 18 by 5in. (61 by 45.7 by 12.7cm) On bronze base, dimensions 10 by 10 by 10in. An adaptation of Edward Smyth's River-God keystone depiction on the East facade of Dublin's Custom House, this mask rendition has a rather sad visage with deeply shadowed eyes. Over the brows are dripping river weeds and a multitude of small fishes while crowning the whole is a basket piled high with round fruits, dimpled on one face, apparently apples. No part of Ireland was so notable for apple culture in the eighteen century as the upper valley of the Munster Blackwater. In Charles Smith's History of Waterford (1746) he states that..." in the west of this county...our eider has of later years been brought to great perfection; and besides enough for our own consumption, some hundred hogsheads are yearly, in good fruit seasons, sent by sea to Dublin and other places."

Harry Kernoff RHA (1900-1974) 1916-1966 DESIGNS FOR COMMEMORATING THE EASTER RISING INCLUDING CELTIC WARRIOR watercolour, pencil and woodcut; (7); (all unframed) 10 by 9in. (25.4 by 22.9cm) Acquired directly from the artist by Jack Segal; Thence by family descent Largest size given. Inscription reads: Celtic Warrior These Celtic Warriors of old Out of the historical Past That were built in heroic mould Who fought to make Ireland Free With chariots and spears bronze cast drove invaders from the sea. We still fight for liberty Our whole future must be bold Only by concrete unity Can we, this country keep & hold In this universe so vast A nation create completely With all together holding fast And real freedom be ours at last. This collection of the works of Harry Kernoff, including some important archival material, was formed by members of the Segal family in Dublin. Reuben Segal set up in business as a manufacturing jeweller in Belfast in the early 20th century. After World War I he moved the business to Dublin and, trading as the Jewellery & Metal Manufacturing Company, became the largest manufacturer of metal badges, medals and trophies in Ireland. Reuben died in 1956 and his son, Jack (Jacob), succeeded him. The Segals were famous for their medals such as those for the 1916 Rising and War of Independence, The Tailteann Games 1924-1926, the GAA All-Ireland and other sporting events. They were the largest producers of metal badges - for Government including the Post Office and Defence Forces, as well as many commercial enterprises, all proudly made entirely in Ireland. Jack Segal, whose early ambition was to be an architect, was a competent designer and used that skill in his business. He had a keen interest in art and was a good friend and patron of Harry Kernoff. Jack Segal died in 1987.
