Shakespeare's Treacherous Aumerle.- Edward [Edward of Langley, Edward of York], second Duke of York, Duke of Aumale, magnate, the eldest son of Edmund 1341-1402, the fifth son of Edward III, and Isabella of Castile d. 1393, second daughter of Pedro the Cruel r. 1350-69, c. 1373-1415) Indenture by the most puissant prince Duke of Aumale Earl of Rutland & Cork and Constable to William Peytevyn esquire, and Joan his wife of the Manor of Oxeye [Oxhey] and its appurtenances in the county of Hertfordshire without waste of wood on the estate, the duke also agrees to pay William £10 at Michaelmas and Easter, manuscript in Anglo-French, on vellum, 13 lines, in brown ink, indented chirograph at head, 4 small wormholes, folds, browned, red wax seal of Aumale's signet, edges chipped with loss but image strong, 135 x 297mm., housed in a full morocco box, London, 16th October 1398.⁂ "Take it, brave York." - Shakespeare. Henry V.A document by one of the most important members of the Royal Family in the reigns of Richard II, Henry IV, and Henry V. A firm favourite of Richard II, "Jean Creton considered that there was no man alive whom Richard loved better" (Oxford DNB). Despite this favour Aumale nevertheless acquiesced in Henry IV's usurpation of the throne, and was present when Richard was detained at Flint Castle in north Wales. At the first parliament of Henry IV Aumale was subjected to much hatred by the new king's supporters and narrowly avoided being attacked physically. The king resisted his impeachment but he lost many of his titles, including Aumale, and the constableship of the Tower. In 1399 he was caught up in a conspiracy to kill the king, and at least knew of another plot in 1405. Despite this he held several important offices during the reign of Henry IV. In 1402 Edward became duke of York after the death of his father, and in 1403 was appointed lieutenant of South Wales. The future Henry V, fighting against the Glendower rebellion, praised York in Parliament, he "had served and laboured in such a way as to support and embolden all the other members of the company, as if he had been the poorest gentleman in the realm wishing to serve him in order to win honour and renown". York was also a noted authority on hunting, his Master of Game, dedicated to the prince of Wales, translated the Livre du chasse of Gaston Phébus, count of Foix, with the addition of several extra chapters of his own. With the advent of the reign of Henry V, York fought in the Normandy campaign, commanding the van of the army at the battle of Agincourt, where he was killed, either by a head wound or in "much heat and pressing". His bones were buried in Fotheringhay Church, Northamptonshire.Aumale/York, as the character Aumerle occupies a central position in Shakespeare's play, Richard II. In the play Aumerle is portrayed as a man who is loyal to King Richard and one of the main conspirators against the newly crowned King Henry IV. When his father, the Duke of York, discovers his part in the plot, he immediately informs the king. Aumerle, however, reaches the king first and begs for pardon, which he is given due to his mother's intercession. Aumerle's character makes a brief appearance in Henry V before the battle of Agincourt, this time as Duke of York, requesting that he be given charge of the vanguard, which the king grants. "My lord, most humbly on my knee I beg/The leading of the vaward/Take it, brave York/Now, soldiers, march away: And how thou pleasest, God, dispose the day!" - Shakespeare.

Constable (John) Various Subjects of Landscape, Characteristic of English Scenery, principally intended to display the phenomena of the Chiar'oscuro of Nature, signed presentation inscription from Constable to Edward Davies dated April 1836 to upper cover, 22 fine plates by David Lucas after paintings by Constable, including the frontispiece and vignette, text comprising title, list of engravings, half-title with verses, introduction and 1p. descriptive text for East Bergholt, Suffolk (frontispiece), mezzotints with etching and drypoint, excellent well inked impressions on cream laid paper, some sheets with partial watermarks of the letters 'F . D', each leaf approx. 295 x 425 mm. (11 1/2 x 16 3/4 in), the frontispiece and 'Noon' with small repairs to upper right corners, and 'A Seabeach' with lower right corner margin repaired, occasional very light finger-soiling to margins, but a remarkably clean and fresh example overall, later cloth-backed wrappers with original printed upper cover laid down, initialled 'J.C.' to lower corner, partial ring mark visible, preserved in chemise and broken slip-case, oblong folio, 1833.⁂ Presentation copy of Constable's superb set of mezzotints.Edward Davies is probably Edward Davis (1813-1878), Welsh portrait sculptor. He would have been 23 at the time of this inscription and would go on to exhibit nearly 100 works of sculpture at the Royal Academy including a bust of Constable in 1875.

Initialled (lower right), oil on canvas (Dimensions: 54.5cm x 45cm (21.5in x 17.75in))(54.5cm x 45cm (21.5in x 17.75in))Footnote: Provenance: The Mayor Gallery, London. Note: Still Life with Tulips will be included in any future updated editions of John Gledhill's Catalogue Raisonne of the Oil Paintings of Matthew Smith , first published by Lund Humphries in November 2009. Francis Bacon wrote of Smith, ‘he seems to me to be one of the very few English painters since Constable and Turner to be concerned with painting – that is, with attempting to make idea and technique inseparable. Painting in this sense tends towards a complete interlocking of image and paint, so that the image is the paint, and vice versa. Here the brush stroke creates the form and does not merely fill it in. Consequently every movement of the brush on the canvas alters the shape and implications of the image’.Condition report: Backboard to frame, so reverse of canvas not visible. There are a few very minor isolated spots of craquelure to the flowers, vase and background. Otherwise the work is in generally good overall condition.

Edgbaston, Birmingham Possibly with Thomas Agnew & Sons J. R. Bettinson, Esq Thence by descentExhibited: City of Birmingham, Museum & Art Gallery, Catalogue of a special collection of Works by David Cox, 1890 no. 3 (as Staircase to Terrace, Haddon Hall)There were over 400 works exhibited in the 1890 exhibition, including some whose attribution have been subsequently called into question. Such was the demand for Cox's work at the time (his stature being close to Constable and Turner), that enhancement of works was common.James Tertius Collins (d.1913), whose label appears on the reverse of the watercolour, was a Birmingham brassfounder and businessman. He was clearly a significant collector. After his death in 1913 there were were several bequests from his Estate to Birmingham City Art Gallery, including watercolours by Callow, Cox and Wimperis.David Cox visited Haddon Hall a number of times in the 1830's and also in 1845.
