SIR JAMES JEBUSA SHANNON R.A., R.B.A., R.H.A. 1862-1923 Henry Vigne, "Master of the Epping Forest Harriers" 1887 Full length portrait, oil on canvas, framed H.230 x W.136cm Provenance: Property of Patrick d'Olier Vigne, Great Great Grandson of John Vigne, first cousin of Henry Vigne. Painted in 1887 as reported by various art critics at the time and presented to Henry Vigne in 1890 as depicted in the title bar as a celebration of the 1889/90 hunting seasons. Biography of the artist: Generally considered a collectors artist because of the waves he made during his career and his many accolades while studying at the South Kensington School (later to become the Royal College of Art), including the school's gold prize, which prompted two commissions from Queen Victoria. He wasn't a conventional artist, always trying new methods and never devoted to any one school or association. He lived and worked among a colony of artists at Wentworth Studios, Chelsea, along with La Thangue, Frank Brangwyn and William Llewellyn. These artistic friendships among the Royal Academy reformers were forged in the wake of the first New English Art Club exhibition at which Shannon showed in 1886. Shannon had received a number of favourable reviews throughout the early-to-mid 1880's, however, it was not until 1888 that Shannon truly arrived as an artist, mainly as a result of two paintings shown at the prestigious Grosvenor Gallery. The first was "Henry Vigne, Master of the Epping Forest Harriers 1887". The portrait earned Shannon the status of hors concours when it was shown at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1889. As one critic proclaimed at the time, the picture confirms the report that a fresh candidate is about to dispute the profits of realistic portrait painting with Mr. Sargent, Mr. Herkomer [Hubert von Herkomer, 1849 - 1914], and Mr. Holl [Frank Holl, 1845 - 1888]". James Jebusa Shannon was knighted in 1923 by King George V for his work for the arts.

One of just 23 right-hand drive examples maintained with no expense sparedSupplied by H.R. Owen, London and first registered on the 21/10/2002Of the 154 Wide Bodied Mulliners produced, only 23 were in right-hand driveOne of the most extensive history files we have ever seen with a modern carShowing some 29,676 miles (atoc) with maintenance and servicing bills of £30,000History file includes service books and reams of invoices and an MOT until October 2020A rare opportunity to join the exclusive club of limited production hand-built BentleysThe Bentley Azure was launched in 1995 and cost £215,000 in the UK. Hailed by its maker as, "the world's best convertible", the Azure lived up to that grand title, proving an immense success especially in North America where its combination of unmatched luxury, effortless performance, and soft-top style was found highly attractive.From 1999 until the end of production, the Azure was also available in Mulliner 'Wide Body' specification. Introduced at the 1999 Geneva Motor Show, the aggressive-looking Mulliner could be ordered with special bespoke trim and additional equipment and permitted the buyer the option of further customisation during the build process. Pricing varied by car, as equipment could be significantly different from one to the next depending on customer requirements. For the Azure Mulliner, Bentley's 6.75-litre V8 engine was up-rated, producing a maximum of 420bhp and 645lb/ft of torque, while the suspension was stiffened to improve the road-holding. When production ceased in 2003 a total of 1,403 Azures of all types had been built, of which only 154 were Mulliner 'Wide Body' models and just 23 in right-hand drive. The ultimate Azure, the Mulliner 'Wide Body' represents the height of motoring luxury and elegance; top-down touring was never more exclusive or brutish in looks.Supplied by H.R.

Basil Rakoczi was born in Chelsea to an Irish mother and Hungarian father. After attending Brighton School of Art, he studied at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris. Rakoczi set up a studio at 8 Fitzroy Street, Belgravia in 1932, and in 1935 founded the Society for Creative Psychology with Herbrand Ingouville-Williams, for study and development based on the 'natural rhythm of life', with a focus on group therapy, psychoanalysis and art. He was taken up by the progressive gallerist Lucy Wertheim in the late 1930s, alongside Barbara Hepworth, Christopher Wood, and Norah McGuinness. Following the death by suicide of his close friend and fellow-artist Kenneth Hall in July 1946, Rakoczi moved to France where he lived for the rest of his life. In 1947 he studied briefly with Ossip Zadkine, and in the same year met the Belgian artist Maurice Brasseur, with whom he later shared a studio in Paris. The present work depicts the village of Sainte-Agnès, a village high up in the Alpes-Maritimes, a few kilometres inland from Roquebrune-Cap-Martin and Menton.

The Prince examined every department of the building, including the infirmary and casual ward; the clothing, bedding, and dietary were also made the subject of careful inquiry; and before leaving His Royal Highness made the following memorandum in the visitors' book : "Have visited this Union with great interest, and found everything in excellent order. Albert Edward" - The Prince expressed himself particularly pleased with the appearance of the children, thoroughly approving the action of the Guardians in not providing them with a charity garb and in sending them to elementary schools in the town. His Royal Highness noticed with pleasure a portrait of the Duke of Connaught in a gold frame, upon which is inscribed"'Hospital-Sergeant C. Roydhouse, from H.R.H. Prince Arthur. April 15, 1874".'

* Brunel (Marc Isambard, 1769-1849). Autograph letter signed, Chelsea, 13 October 1816, to Viscount Keith at Purbrook near Portsmouth, offering to put up a saw mill, but advising Keith against the scheme because of the high duty on timber, 'The industry that might be brought in this country by a trifling alteration in the duties is truly great; yet it is overlooked by Government, to the great detriment of the Scotch interest in particular. I have erected a saw mill at Leith; but to the great loss of the proprietors who had common mills there before. Had the duties been laid on fir timber as it happens, probably by chance, to be on oak timber there then would be certain imployment in this country for thousands of families...', then discussing the disadvantages of imported timber, two pages with integral address leaf, freefront stamp and seal tear, a little creased, 4toQty: (1)NOTESThe destruction of Brunel's own saw mills at Battersea led to his imprisonment for debt.
