§ Evelyn Mary Dunbar, NEAC, RWS, ARCA (British, 1906-1960) Roadworks signed lower left "Evelyn Dunbar" oil on canvas, unframed 36 x 46cm (14 x 18in) Provenance: By descent within the family of the artist Other Notes: Evelyn Dunbar was a mural artist, illustrator and teacher, born in Reading, Berkshire. She studied at Rochester and Chelsea Schools of Art and The Royal College of Art (1929 - 33). She painted murals at Brockley County School, Kent and at Bletchley Training College, Buckinghamshire. During World War II, Dunbar was the only woman artist to receive a salary for commissions, depicting civilian contributions to the war effort on the Home Front. After the war she was appointed as a part-time teacher at the Oxford School of Art as well as a visiting teacher at the Ruskin School, Oxford. Christopher Campbell-Howes writes: "Road Works' is quite early, I should think 1926, most probably an exercise set by Dunbar's tutor, Harold Shimmell, during the first of her two sessions, 1926 and 1928, at Rochester School of Art, each of which she attended for a month or two before dropping out. The signature however appears to date from the early 1950s, when a quantity of her work was divided up and in some cases authenticated between members of her family. 'Road Works' went to her brother Alec and his wife Jill, and thence by descent to Evelyn's great-nieces. The scene is probably somewhere between The Cedars, the Dunbar family home in Strood, Kent, and Micawber Cottage, Alec and Jill Dunbar's house about a mile away up the hill towards Gravesend, but the urban configuration has changed so much in the last 90 years that it is impossible to identify exactly. It is very rare in the sense that there are only two other urban scenes in her entire known output, the others being 'Mobile Canteen' (Private Collection, a similar student exercise from 1928) and 'The Queue at the Fish Shop' (1942-45, Imperial War Museum)". In late 1938 Dunbar opened The Blue Gallery, a large first-floor room above the shop run by her sisters Marjorie and Jessie at 168 High Street, Rochester. Here she displayed her own work and included some of her mother's floral still-life paintings. She invited Charles Mahoney (with whom she remained on friendly terms) and prominent contemporary artists , to contribute their work to her first group exhibition, which opened in March 1939. The Blue Gallery did not prosper and it closed after a few months.Condition: Unframed. Scuffing to the edges and some scuffing to the right of the signature.

Essai général de tactique, précédé d'un discours sur l'état actuel de la politique & de la science militaire en Europe avec le plan d'un ouvrage intitulé la France politique et militaire. Tome premier [-second]. A Londres [i.e. Liegi]: chez les libraires associés [i.e. Clement Plomteux], 1772. Two volumes, 8° (196x120 mm). viii, CLX, 408, 451 [i.e. 411], [1pages. 12 folding plates; 358 pages, last leaf blank lacking, 15 folding plates. In the quire N of the second volume the printer curiously inserted a leaf marked *N4, containing the text of pages 199 and 200. Woodcut ornament on both title-pages. Foxing, some leaves uniformly browned. Contemporary mottled calf. Spines with five raised bands, gilt tooled; title and volume numbering in gold on double red morocco lettering-piece. Marbled pastedowns, flyleaves, and edges. Covers abraded, losses to the extremities of the spines.  One of the most importants and appreciated eighteenth-century treatises on art military, which enjoyed a wide popularity, and was also translated into English and German.Due volumi in-8° (mm 196x120). Pagine viii, CLX, 408, 451 [i.e. 411], [1], 12 tavole ripiegate; 358, manca l'ultima carta bianca, 15 tavole ripiegate. Nel fascicolo N del secondo volume è stata curiosamente inserita in tipografia la c. *N4 che riporta il testo delle pp. 199 e 200. Fregio xilografico al frontespizio di entrambi i volumi, Fioriture, alcune carte uniformemente brunite. Legatura coeva in vitello agli acidi, dorso a cinque nervi, titolo e numero di volume su duplice tassello in marocchino granata, scomparti decorati da ferri dorati. Tagli marmorizzati.

Celebre trattato di tattica e tecnica militare, senza dubbio uno dei migliori dell'epoca e per questo di vasta diffusione anche in traduzione inglese e tedesca. L'Autore analizza l'arte della guerra del suo tempo con uno sguardo ampio e critico, riuscendo a cogliere trasformazioni - e rivoluzioni - non solo in atto, ma intuendo soluzioni che solo negli anni successivi avrebbero effettivamente trovato applicazioni, modificando drasticamente e a livello europeo il modo di condurre le campagne militari.

Le materie trattate erano le più varie: storia e filosofia, letteratura e poesia, geografia e viaggi, arte e architettura, oltre a tematiche legate all'economia, al commercio, alla navigazione, alle scienze agrarie. La pubblicazione, nata nel fervido clima culturale e mercantile che distinse la Livorno illuminista, cessò nel 1757.

[§] JACQUELINE MINA - A contemporary 18ct gold necklacecomposed of a snake link chain with blue heart pendant details, terminating in a long tapering split pendant of brushed finishLength of pendant: 12.5cmJacqueline Mina takes every opportunity to explore her passion for the art of sculpture in her unique jewellery designs. Mina still hand-crafts each piece in her London studio. Many of her signature designs feature twisted sculptural elements utilizing gold with platinum inlays. In an interview with The Jewellery Editor, Jacqueline Mina describes her foray into the world of jewellery. She wished to attend the Royal College of Art in the early 60's and at the time, she explained, women were not accepted into the silversmithing course, so instead she accepted a placement on the jewellery course. She says, 'It was a feeling at the time that men did silversmithing and women did jewellery'. Her accidental passion for crafting jewellery was influenced by René Lalique and the beauty of the natural elements of gold, platinum, and iron pyrite. Most recently her work has been on display at The Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh during their Festival exhibition in August 2017. Her work resides in the collections of the Victoria & Albert, the National Museum of Scotland, and the Cooper-Hewitt, the Smithsonian Design Museum in New York.

A HIGHLY RARE AND IMPORTANT ENGLISH JACK OF PLATE, CIRCA 1580-90 formed of small overlapping square plates of iron with cropped corners, secured by lines of diagonal, vertical, or in some cases horizontal, stitches of crossbow twine through holes at their centres between the inner and outer layers of a fabric doublet of 'peascod' fashion with a frontal opening situated slightly to the left of centre and originally closed by laces passing through pairs of reinforced holes, an upstanding collar devoid, like the edges of the arm-openings, of plates, and a short skirt, the whole enclose between two outer layers of fine linen canvas covered with modern nylon netting and overlying felted woven wool on the outside and a coarser canvas on the inside of the garment, and decorated with white woollen tufts at the intersections of the stitches (the outer fabric partly discoloured, worn through at points and split at the shoulders and some other points; and the plates in some cases patinated to a green colour) 72.0 cm; 28? in Provenance Sir William ffarindon, Worden Hall, Lancashire (sold by auction 1948) A private English collection Literature Alexander de Cosson & William Burgess, 'Catalogue of the Exhibition of Ancient Helmets and Examples of Mail', Archaeological Journal, Vol. XXXVII, 1881, p. 591. Ian Eaves, 'On the Remains of a Jack of Plate Excavated from Beeston Castle in Cheshire', Journal of the Arms and Armour Society, Vo. XIII, no. 2, September 1989, p. 137, n. 29) The jack of plate - sometimes referred to in contemporary documents as a 'steel coat', a 'plate coat' or a 'coat of plate' - was a uniquely British defence first recognisably mentioned in English and Scottish records of the second quarter of the 16th century (Eaves 1989, pp. 85-6 & 144, n. 48), p. 145, n. 52). The inventory of the holdings of the Office of the Armouries taken on the death of Henry VIII in 1547 mentions 'a Northerne Jack covered with lynnen' and three 'Northern Jackes made of Canvas and plate' (Harold A. Dillon, 'Arms and Armour at Westminster, the Tower and Greenwich', Archaeologia, Vol. LI, 1888, pp. 52 & 57). Although defences of this kind ceased to be manufactured towards the end of the 16th century (Eaves 1989, p.86 & 148, n. 60), their use persisted into the early years of the following century. In 1622 some forty examples were issued from the Armouries of the Tower of London for use in America by the Virginia Company (Eaves 1986, p. 86 & 148, n. 61). William Harrison in his description of England first published in 1577, observed that 'Our armour …consisteth of corselets, almaine riverets, shirtes of mayle, Jacke quilted over wyth leather, fustian or canuas ouer thicke plates of yron that are sewed into the same, and of which there is no towne or village that hath not hir conuenient furniture (in Ralph Holinshead, The First Volume of the Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland, London, 1557, f. 86v). Today, however, only sixteen more or less complete jacks of plate are preserved worldwide. Aside from the example offered here, eight (only five of which are complete) can be recorded in the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds, one in the British Museum, London, one in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, one in the Royal Museums of Scotland, Edinburgh, one in Warwick Castle, Warwickshire, one in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, one in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nuremberg, and one in the Schweizerisches Landesmuseum, Zurich (Eaves 1989, pp. 135-7, n. 22-6 & 2). Of these, only the last two along one of those in the Royal Armouries and that recently acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum (Thomas Del Mar Ltd, 7 Dec. 2016, lot 51), have their frontal openings offset to one side of centre as on the present lot. The present lot together with the examples now in the Royal Armouries and the Victoria and Albert Museum formed part of a collection assembled at Worden Hall, Lancashire, by Sir William ffarington (c. 1704-81) sometime after 1765. They are unlikely to have formed part of the Hall's indigenous armoury which was sequestered by Parliament in 1643 (Susan Maria ffarington, The ffarington Papers, Chetham Society, 1856, p. 93), although it was said that one of the three did service, together with a helmet and other pieces, as part of a funeral achievement eventually removed from the ffarington Chapel in Leyland Church in 1816 (De Cosson & Burgess 1881, p. 591). The collection was in due course added to by Miss Susan ffarington in the 19th century. An 18th century inventory of it is preserved in New Zealand while three 19th century ones, dating from 1846 to circa 1870 are privately preserved in England, and refer to '3 Brigandine Jackets (for Bowmen. (Elizn'. A drawing of what is almost certainly one of these jacks is preserved in a manuscript catalogue prepared by the late 18th century Manchester antiquary Thomas Barritt and now preserved in the Manchester City Library (Ancient Armour and Weapons in the Possession of Thos Barrit 1793). The catalogue shows objects both in his own collection and of others that he visited in the north of England. He describes the jack as 'A Bigantine jacket quilted within with square pieces of iron about an inch in diameter and sliding over each other like the scales of fishes, and covered over with strong linen'. One of the Worden jacks (probably that now in the Royal Armouries Museum, inv. No. III.1884) was lent by Miss ffarington to the Exhibition of Ancient Helmets and Examples of Mail held in the rooms of the British Archaeological Association in 1881 (De Cosson & Burgess 1881, cat. no. 49, p.591) The collection was sold by a local auctioneer in 1948. The purchaser of the three jacks subsequently lent them to Rufford Old Hall, Lancashire. One of them in due course passed to a private collection in the USA but was in 1982 acquired by the Royal Armouries, H.M. Tower of London, while that now in the Victoria and Albert Museum and that offered here had from some time before 1981 been sent for conservation to the North Western Museum and Art Gallery Service at Blackburn, Lancashire." At some time before 1981 it was sent for conservation to the North Western Museum and Art Gallery Service at Blackburn, Lancashire, where it was enclosed within protective nylon netting.

δ Invader (b.1969)Ohh...AlrightScreenprint with embossing printed in colours, 2011, signed, dated and numbered from the edition of 150 in pencil, on 310gsm archival paper, printed and published by Pictures on Walls, London, with full margins, sheet 580 x 587mm (22 3/4 x 23in) (unframed)Footnote: Since 2004, Invader has been creating artworks in his unique art form of 'Rubikcubism'. The artist selects found images from popular culture, such as those of famous villains, artistic masterpieces or iconic album art, and transforms them using the colourful pattern of the Rubik's Cube toy. In this print, Invader takes Roy Lichtenstein's iconic image-itself once a powerful pastiche of 1960s American pop culture-and reworks it to create an updated urban icon of our time. Like his iconic 'Space Invaders', the artist uses his subversive 'Rubikcubist' technique here to "invade" high art's spaces. He deploys low culture aesthetics to liberate Lichtenstein's artwork from its alienation in the art museum space, instead reclaiming its original power by reinstating its status as an icon of counterculture. Thus, this powerful print is not only a homage to Lichtenstein, nor does it belong to just the categories of contemporary art, game or graffiti, but-as the artist puts it-"it is all of the above, and much more". δ This lot is sold subject to Artists Resale Rights, details of which can be found in our Terms and Conditions.
