Moore, Joseph Birman Empire. Eighteen Views Taken at or Near Rangoon London: Thomas Clay, [1825]. First series only, Folio, title page/upper wrapper on grey-green paper, map mounted on guard, engraved subscribers' leaf (foxed), engraved dedication (a little foxing), 18 hand-coloured lithographs in fine condition, contemporary green half morocco, some creasing to tissue guards and descriptions; [AND] a cloth bound folio volume containing a list of subscribers to the work in India (2)Footnote: Provenance: The Late Dr Helen E C Cargill Thompson Note: Dr Helen Cargill Thompson has been recognised for her contribution to both librarianship and the art world. Born in Burma in 1933, she returned to live in Glasgow aged 6, along with her parents and two brothers, and her love of art developed in the city’s Kelvingrove Galleries. Dr Cargill Thompson lived frugally, collected art passionately and never viewed her purchases as a monetary investment, donating over 1000 pieces to Strathclyde University. A graduate in physiology and pharmacology, Dr Cargill Thompson initially worked as a research scientist, before making the decision to pursue a career in librarianship, being awarded the Princess Royal Medal for services to the discipline. This work, from the Cargill Thompson library, can be traced to the family’s routes in The East India Company and Burma. The Cargills were merchants in Glasgow, with interests in the East India Trading Co., and proceeded to found The Burmah Oil Company.

1575-1600 AD. A substantial gold finger ring with D-section hoop, high-relief scrolled foliage on a pounced field to the bezel and shoulders; cell with contemporary inset carnelian intaglio profile male bust possibly of Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, with radiate crown of an emperor in the classical style, of Italian workmanship. Cf. Scarisbrick, D., Rings: Jewelry of Power, Love and Loyalty, London, 2007, item 41, for this ring type with similar inset carnelian profile bust intaglio; see Goldstein, G., Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford (1550-1604), in Elizabethan Review for a summary of de Vere's life and works; see Webbe, W., A Discourse of English Poetrie, 1586, Puttenham, E., The Art of English Poetrie, 1589; and Peacham, H., The Compete Gentleman, 1622, for details of his literary works and connections.11.87 grams, 27.57mm overall, 22.02mm internal diameter (approximate size British V, USA 10 1/2, Europe 23.77, Japan 22) (1"). Found by Tomasz Krawczuk while searching with a metal detector near the River Colne, between Halstead and Hedingham Castle, Essex, UK, on 3 December 2018; declared as treasure under the Treasure Act, Treasure Case number 2018 T1046, and disclaimed on 12 March 2020; accompanied by copies of a letter from the British Museum, the treasure report, and the Portable Antiquities Scheme report number ESS-A69E73; an independent specialist report and valuation by graduate gemmologist and jewellery expert Anna Rogers, GIA GG, BA, Gem-A, ref. no. 8697/07/12/20; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no. 10431-168697. The ring's find spot is in the area between the villages of Castle Hedingham and Halstead, a tract of land held from the time of the Norman invasion of the late 11th century by the de Vere family. This wealthy dynasty included several earls of Oxford and other notables. The castle was one of the de Veres' principal seats throughout the medieval period, but was sold off in 1625. One owner of the castle estate was Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford (12 April 1550-24 June 1604), who was a favourite at the court of Queen Elizabeth but was considered unsuited for any responsible office due to his volatile temper. He was a champion jouster, and travelled throughout France and Italy in pursuit of fame. He had literary ambitions and was noted for his love poetry and his work as a playwright, though none of his plays are known to survive. He was admired for his patronage of literary, religious, musical, and medical works. His family was associated with artistic endeavours of many kinds and supported troupes of actors known as Oxford's Men and Oxford's Boys; the former troupe mostly toured the provinces while the latter played at the Blackfriars Theatre, the lease of which was passed to John Lyly, secretary to the 17th Earl. William Webbe and George Puttenham each consider de Vere to be 'first' among Elizabeth I's courtier poets and there are a number his poems surviving in published form. An interesting aside concerns the association of Edward's name with the works of William Shakespeare by J. Thomas Looney, Shakespeare Identified in Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford. [A video of this lot is available to view on TimeLine Auctions website.] Very fine condition. A large wearable size.
