Jakob Bogdani (Hungarian 1660-1724) An Albatross, ducks, jay and wildfowl in a garden setting oil on canvas 39 x 47.5in (99 x 121cm). * Provenance - This picture has been in the ownership of the same family for several generations. It hung in the family house at Gore Court in the village of Ortham which is on the eastern border of Maidstone. The Kirkwood family sold Gore Court in the 1990's and then the picture was moved to Newbridge House in Bath. * Jacob Bogdani was born in a town called Eperjes in Hungary. Little is known about his early life before moving to London, where he became a respected artist. He was painting in Amsterdam in his early 20s. The Netherlands region had a strong tradition of attracting artists from around Europe. Whilst in Holland, Bogdani received tuition and worked with the German artist Ernest Stuven (1660-1712 ). Still Life painting was very popular at this time and Bogdani is known to have painted works depicting fruit and flowers during this period. Bogdani moved to London circa 1688 to join fellow Hungarian artists working in the capital. There is a record of him being contracted to decorate a room at Hampton Court in conjunction with master woodcarver Grinling Gibbons, for The King and Queen Mary. Queen Anne later became a patron of Bogdani as well as The Duke of Malborough's younger brother Admiral George Churchill, who at that time owned The Lodge in the little park at Windsor. The Admiral collected many species of exotic birds during his various campaigns around the world. The Lodge became well known as the finest privately owned aviary in Great Britain. Bogdani is known to have painted a number of canvases of the birds within this garden setting and the Admiral purchased many of these detailed and outstanding works of art. Other patrons who commissioned and purchased similar paintings of birds within the park include The Duke of Devonshire, Edward Harley, The 2nd Earl of Oxford and Sir Robert Walpole. During this time Jacob Bogdani established himself as the finest and most highly respected bird artist of his time. Very few of his works remain in private ownership, seldom appearing on the open market. * Collections: The British Royal Collection at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, The National Gallery of Hungary, Budapest and The Yale Centre for British Art, New Haven.

Cobden, Richard 69 autograph letters and notes signed to W.S. Lindsay, with interleaved notes by Lindsay, relating to the best way of preserving health, many discussing the failure of "the Safety [Life Assurance Co.]", the principle of limited partnerships "legislators & theorists overrate the extent to which the actual possession of capital affords a guarantee to the creditor", the death of his son, investments in the Illinois Central Railway Co., "the discovery of that correspondence by Walker has enabled him to appeal to the people of the U.S. for assistance against England", his wifees need for emotional support "there is something in the atmosphere of a clergymanes family which harmonises with the feeling of invalids", digestion and alcohol, international maritime law "why should a manes property be given up to pillage at sea when it would be held inviolate on land ?", Palmerston "now we have a prime minister who although he pretends to have a liberal policy for exportation is as avowedly an anti-reformer in home politics as any Tory", Brightes health, suggesting Lindsay pass a motion for a copy of Mr Marcyes letter to the French government, referring to the governmentes failure to accept the American offer which "gives the Senate a loophole for withdrawing Marcyes offer", garrulousness of British politicians "listening for two and a half hours to Disraeli... a man can say all that he ought at one Ôstandinge in one hour. The Sermon on the Mount may be read in 20 minutes. The Lordes Prayer takes one minute to repeat", instructions to Mr Lindsay "what you have to do is to ask for information respecting the actual state of negotiations affecting our maritime rights in case of war", the state of the country "I forsee very great financial & commercial difficulties ahead... we must raise loan after loan to make up enormous deficits in our Asiatic empire", Indian government "no one who knows our governing class as well as he [Bright] can ever have a lively hope that Palmerston, Vernon Smith & Co. will manage the affairs of Hindustan better than Hogg & Co.", with 15 letters from Michel Chevalier to Lindsay, three from Lord Clarence Paget, Secretary to the Admiralty, to Lindsay, three A.L.S. from W.E. Gladstone, referring to meetings, 1861; nine A.L.S. from Earl Cowley, British Ambassador to France, to Lindsay, 2 A.L.S. from Mrs Cobden, 1866, and several from Mr. E Hammond and Mr Layard, and manuscript copies of several other letters, some letters merely short notes, the longest 6 pages, mounted on guards, some with integral blank pasted onto album leaf, most with the guard pasted on top of the letter obscuring some of the text, some detached from guard with slight loss of text, some frayed, a few holed or torn, some adhesions affecting text, glue from guards occasionally affecting text, old half morocco, worn, hinges split Note: Although no supporter of Palmerston the Prime Minister had invited Cobden to join his ministry in 1859 as president of the Board of Trade. Cobden declined but worked consistently for a commercial treaty with France in the belief that increased international trade was essential if war between Britain and France was to be avoided. After Cobdenes meeting with the French emperor in October 1859, Eugne Rouher drew up a commercial plan with sixty pages of favourable arguments. The treaty, signed in 1860 and sometimes referred to as the Cobden-Chevalier treaty, reduced the tariff on a number of goods, and caused Anglo-French trade to boom in the 1860es.
