Lot 183
Victoria, Golden Jubilee, 1887, a uniface trial striking in bronze by Sir J.E. Boehm, bust of Victoria left wearing small crown, victoria d g regina et imperatrix, signed j.e. boehm on truncation, 120mm (cf. Dyer and Stocker pl. 2, 16). About extremely fine and presumably extremely rare; mounted on maroon velvet in a contemporary glazed gilt wooden frame; the paper on the reverse inscribed ‘A bronze Medallion Modelle[d] by the late Sir J. Edgar Boehm Bart R.A., Sculptor [in] Ordinary to the Queen’ £600-£800 --- The drapery, font and signature are all different from the adopted design for the Royal Mint medallions and different again from the coinage. The nose is more aquiline, the veil and dress much less ornate, and the signature engraved with Boehm written in full. The lettering is larger and from a slightly different font, perhaps reminiscent of contemporary issues from the Berlin mint. Both the coinage and the medallions issued in 1887 show a more elaborate handling of the portrait, perhaps at the request of the queen or at the instigation of William Wyon who prepared the dies for the final versions. A replacement for the young head coinage was first mooted as early as 1879. A favourite of Her Majesty and acclaimed monumental sculptor, Boehm was given the task. He produced various portraits in the early 1880s, none of them adopted. Dyer and Stocker suggest that the present effort probably dates c. 1885-6. (BNJ 54 [1984], pp.274-288). On its release in 1887, the new portrait did not meet with public approval. This disapproval quickly turned to ridicule which in turn gave way to xenophobia for the Austro-Hungarian who until then had been the toast of royalty, aristocracy and Victorian high society alike. It may be that such a spectacular fall from favour contributed to Boehm’s premature death in December 1890 at the age of 56.
Lot 35
Eglinton Tournament, 1839, a silver prize medal, unsigned (by W. Wyon), two knights on horseback jousting, in exergue, september 1839, rev. unnamed, 36mm, 23.88g (BHM 1891; CP p.174, pl. 36, fig. 1; cf. DNW 41/260). With loop and suspension bar, nearly extremely fine, extremely rare £100-£120 --- Provenance: Baldwin Commemorative Medals FPL, 1999 (558) The Eglinton Tournament was a lavish, if ill-fated, medieval-style tournament organised in 1839 by the 13th Earl of Eglinton. The expense and extent of the preparations became news across Scotland, and the railway line was even opened in advance of its official opening to ferry guests to Eglinton. Although high summer, in typical Scottish style torrential rain washed the proceedings out, despite the participants, in full period dress, gamely attempting to participate in events such as jousting. Amongst the participants was Prince Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte (the future Emperor Napoléon III of France).
Lot 396
Alfred James Munnings, P.R.A., R.W.S. (1878-1959) Barnet Fair Oil on canvas, signed and dated A.J. Munnings 1903, lower left 34.5cm x 24.6cm Provenance Acquired from M. Newman Ltd., fine art dealers, 43a Duke Street, London on 16 December 1947 for £175 and thence by descent. The present lot is closely related in subject matter, composition and handling to Munnings's 'The Last of the Fair' (1903), now in the Harris Museum & Art Gallery, Preston. A boy, similar in stature and dress (seated and asleep in this instance) is flanked by grey, chestnut and dark horses, with a marquee or tent in the background. Both paintings were produced in the same year and most likely at around the same time. 'Barnet Fair' may have been part of Munnings's exploration of a theme that culminated in 'The Last of the Fair' which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in 1903 (catalogue number 348). In his autobiography Munnings reflected on the horses used in 'The Last of the Fair', '...my mind records that the old white pony with the forelock and mane was none other than the grey belonging to my landlord, Mr Alfred Wharton, who farmed Shearing's Farm...He was one more of the many kind friends I seem to have made use of, for I was always painting that white pony' (see Munnings, An Artist's Life, Readers Union, London, 1955, p.75). This same white pony appears in 'Barnet Fair' alongside what are very likely to be the same grey and chestnut horses. Munnings later identified Jimmy Betts as the boy who modelled for him in his studio for 'The Last of the Fair' (see An English Idyll, A Loan Exhibition of Works by Sir Alfred Munnings, Sotheby's, London, 5-25 January 2001, p. 58, Cat. No. 10). However, Munnings used both Teddy Holmes and Jimmy Betts as models at this time and it remains unclear which of the boys modelled for him in 'Barnet Fair'. When acquired from Newman's in 1947 the painting was titled 'Barnet Fair' in the family inventory. Despite the title, there is no record of Munnings ever having visited the Horse Fair at Barnet. He did however, visit many horse fairs in Norfolk and Suffolk while living at Church Farm in Swainsthorpe, near Norwich. The village that can be seen in the background of present lot is very similar to that featured in the 'Suffolk Horse Fair, Lavenham' (1901) in the collection of the Munnings Art Museum, Dedham. It was at the Lavenham Horse Fair where Munnings later wrote of seeing 'the scenes which started me off painting horse fairs' (see An Artist's Life, Bungay, 1950, p.139) and it seems more likely that the setting for the present painting is East Anglian rather than Barnet. With thanks to Flynn & Giovanni, Art Provenance Research and to Jenny Hand, Director, The Munnings Art Museum, Dedham, Essex for their help in the preparation and research of this catalogue entry. Condition Report Under UV light no obvious restoration. a tiny flake on the browband of the donkey , pin point or smaller. We have not had it out of ts frame.
