Rare Titanic survivor Marshall Brines Drew signed two page handwritten 1985 Letter with Titanic content. James, his wife and Marshall travelled on the Olympic in the autumn of 1911 for a holiday to visit his relatives in Constantine, Cornwall. Their return journey to America was on board the Titanic which they boarded at Southampton as second class passengers (ticket number 28220 which cost £32, 10s). It is possible that they travelled with James Veal who was also a native of Constantine. On embarking James and Marshall were able to view the first-class areas including the gymnasium and the barber's shop. On the night of the sinking James had been up on deck whilst his wife and nephew were settled in their cabin. Following the impact with the iceberg, James returned to the cabin, instructing them to dress and put on their lifebelts. He escorted Lulu and Marshall to a lifeboat, bid them goodbye and stepped back into the crowd. Marshall recalled a perilous drop to the ocean in his lifeboat, with the pulleys jamming, causing the lifeboat to drop suddenly at one end on a few occasions. He also described the Titanic listing right out of the ocean, with the sounds of heavy machinery crashing towards her bows, the sight of people falling from her decks and the sounds of those people struggling in the freezing water. He fell asleep in his lifeboat to awaken to the sight of dozens of icebergs for miles around and soon saw the Carpathia steaming-in to their rescue. He also recollected his excitement at scaling the side of their rescue vessel, a feat many others seemed to fear. Upon his arrival in New York he was met by his father who was prostrated with anxiety at the thought of the loss of his son. Marshall returned to Southold, New York with his aunt Lulu and his father. He would lose his father to tuberculosis in 1917 and Aunt Lulu remarried, becoming Mrs Richard Opie. He was still living with his aunt in Southold by the time of the 1920 census but soon went to live with Lulu's parents, the Christians. Gifted with an artistic flair, Marshall became a graduate of Pratt Institute in New York in 1928 and attended Columbia University, later becoming a teacher, specialising in art, and teaching in Brooklyn public schools until his retirement. He was married to a Connecticut-born woman named Mary (b. 1912) and they had a daughter, Bette Elizabeth (later Wible), on 27 March 1937. The family are shown on the 1940 census living in Queens, New York and Marshall is described as a teacher. Following retirement, he continued to teach art and host art events and was a talented photographer of natural life and an expert in origami. Good condition.

* McNish (Althea, 1924-2020). Three pairs of "Orina" curtains, Danasco Fabrics, 1960, 6 matching hand-made cotton curtains, with abstract design in orange, yellow, and black, lined, gathered with rufflette tape to top edge, occasional nicks in edges, but overall in very good condition, each curtain approximately drop 279.5 cm (110 ins), width 123 cm (48.5 ins)QTY: (6)NOTE:Althea McNish was one of the most influential post-war designers and the first designer of African-Caribbean descent to achieve international recognition. Her designs injected much-needed colour and life into post-war Britain, and her influence on fashion and the textile industry from the 1950s onwards cannot be overstated. McNish often used natural imagery as inspiration, drawn from the abundance of tropical flora and fauna of her native Trinidad, as well as a 'tropicalised' interpretation of the organic forms found in the countryside of Britain, where she had come to live in 1951. Her designs also often took the form of lively abstract patterns, and their contrasting hues and expressive lines produced startling patterns bursting with vigour and visual complexity. Her unique talent and style was admired as soon as she graduated from the Royal College of Art, with Liberty first in line to commission both dress and furnishing fabric designs. She produced designs for a plethora of other prestigious clients, including Zika Ascher, Christian Dior, Heals, Danasco (as here), and even the royal family, famously creating fabrics for the Queen's wardrobe for her tour of Trinidad and the Caribbean in 1966.

![* Sampler. A needlework picture by Mary Grae, Ag[e]d 12, The Ye[a]r of God 1791, probably American, hand-worked in silk threa](https://cdn.globalauctionplatform.com/6cd368a9-31a2-40cf-9521-b03600eb39a2/d70d2cb9-1964-4237-8841-b03800b84a17/468x382.jpg)
Lot 684
* Sampler. A needlework picture by Mary Grae, Ag[e]d 12, The Ye[a]r of God 1791, probably American, hand-worked in silk threads in shades of red, green, blue, pink, cream, and brown, on beige linen, with a pair of black female figures, standing arms akimbo, each wearing a long dress and apron and a large white cap on her head, flanked by stylised trees, each with a bird perched on top, a wide border of trees and flowering plants above, surmounted by rows of alphabets, name and date stitched at foot, the whole enclosed by a floral border, worked in cross-stitch and Algerian eye stitch, occasional losses to threadwork, and 1 or 2 small holes, some fraying and minor loss to lower edge, 32.5 x 32.5 cm (12.75 x 12.75 ins), framed and glazedQTY: (1)NOTE:Samplers depicting people of colour are extremely rare: a number of much later samplers exist, made in the 1830s, which depict the famous image of the kneeling slave raising his chained hands in supplication, with the words 'pity the negro slave'; the extensive collection of samplers at Colonial Williamsburg contains one example, featuring a black harlequin figure dated 1803 (object number 1995-208,A); and a recent episode of the Antiques Roadshow showed an American sampler from 1780 which depicted black slaves toiling, a small and incidental detail amongst other illustrations and motifs. The figures here, however, dominate the decorative scheme, and, appear startlingly direct; far from being subordinates, these women give an impression of autonomy. We have been unable to find any comparable samplers.Given its content, it seems likely that this needlework was executed by an African American schoolgirl, rather than a white American or English girl. Documented samplers worked around this time by black girls are extremely rare, not surprisingly, given that formal education was practically non-existent for black Americans. The state of Philadelphia was unusual in that, having been in the vanguard of the movement to abolish slavery, there were several so-called 'Negro Schools' established there by the 1790s, and these schools are known to have taught sewing, knitting, and embroidery. The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, has a sampler worked around 1843 by an African American girl, in which, interestingly, the figures depicted are white.
