RUBY WINIFRED LEVICK (1872-1940) BOYS FISHING bronze, signed and dated 1900 in the maquette, greenish black patina rubbed in places, early 20th c Exhibited: Royal Academy, 1900, No 2038 (this or another cast). Ruby Levick`s decorative sculpture was the subject of an article by T M Wood in The Studio Vol 34 (1905) pp100-107. One of several highly accomplished women `new sculptors` of the 1890s, Ruby Levick was taught modelling in Edward Lanteri`s class at the National Art Training School and soon became a frequent exhibitor at the RA. Boys Fishing was included in the 1902 Fine Art Society exhibition Sculpture for the Home but such household sculpture met with little demand due to the average cost being over a twentieth of the annual income of a member of the professional middle class. The price asked for Boys Fishing (25gns) was higher than that for Gilbert`s Offering to Hymen and only a little less than Pomeroy`s Perseus. See Beattie (Susan), The New Sculpture, 1893, pp199 and 260. In fine original condition with much accretion of dust and grime over time, a few paint splashes and minor spots of damp/corrosion around the base but a delightful Arts & Crafts era and quite rare example of the sculptor`s `modern` work

SIR GEORGE JAMES FRAMPTON, RA PETER PAN bronze, fine rich even dark patina, signed with monogram, dated 1919 and inscribed with the initials PP within a circle, on Conemara marble plinth, 48cm h, 52.5cm h overall, sold with a letter from Frampton`s widow acknowledging the price £105) paid for the present cast (2) Cast in 1919. Frampton`s Peter Pan by the Serpentine in Kensington Gardens has always been one of the most admired works of public sculpture in Britain, having attained virtually iconic status. Its originality and the naturalism of the innocent child appealed to an Edwardian England in the aftermath of the Boer war and its poetic newness accorded well with the mood of youthful optimism for the new century, in the years leading up to the World War One. How different it must have seemed to that other great work of the `New Sculpture` Movement, Sir Alfred Gilbert`s Shaftesbury Memorial (Eros) of 1886-93. Peter Pan was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1911. It was commissioned anonymously by the book`s author Sir J M Barrie and erected, in great secrecy, on the night of the 29-30 April 1912 so that its appearance the next day would seem magical. `It is placed at the spot where Peter Pan lands for his nightly visit to the Gardens` observed Sir Edward Gleichen (London`s Open-air Statuary, 1928). The Adventures of Peter Pan was published in 1904 and first performed at the Duke of York`s Theature on 27 December of the same year. Barrie gave the copyright to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in April 1929. Frampton`s range was unusually wide, as he was a versatile exponent of several branches of the applied and decorative arts, a medallist, a skilful enameller, maker of jewellery and decorator working in stone, plaster and other media. He trained as an architect before studying at the Royal Academy Schools and in Paris. In Belgium he was strongly influenced by the new developments there. He was in reality himself an English Symbolist and one of the original members of the Art Workers Guild, serving as Master in 1902. He was born in 1860 and died in 1928, having been knighted in 1908. The present bronze is one of the small number of reductions cast for Frampton up to about 1920. The letter from Frampton`s widow, which accompanies the lot is of interest for a number of reasons, not least for giving the high price (£105) the cast commanded: Dear Mr-, Thank you for your letter - I am very sorry to hear that Mr Mitchells Memorial is neglected and hope it will be cleaned satisfactorily. As the the Peter Pan statuette there will certainly be no more of these produced - I have just succeeded in finding a record of what must have been the last one done & the price paid for it was £105. The Statue is strictly copyright & we have decided that no further replicas of it or any part of it shall be made - Since my husband`s death I have had repeated trouble with infringements & have had to take very drastic measures to try & stop the abuse - Some of the statuettes he presented to old friends & some were sold in the ordinary way. I have not had time to trace the complete record of them but I daresay this information will be sufficient for your purposes. With kind regards Yrs sincerely Christabel A Frampton` Other examples were sold Sotheby`s London, 9 July 2002 (£36,000), 14 December 2001 (£48,000) and 26 June 2001 (£45,000).
