Including an almost complete set of the drypoints in original portfolio, one of only 12 sets that were printed, of which only 10 were for sale."Percy Delf Smith arrived on the Western Front in late 1916 where he was posted to the Somme with the Royal Marines as a gunner. Shortly after his arrival he began sketching without authorisation. This activity was quickly noticed. Nevertheless, Captain High Boffey, who was Smith's superior, allowed him to continue. Smith however, seemingly unsatisfied with only producing rough sketches, changed his tactics in early 1917. [His parents sent him a] parcel [...] made up of the usual, letters and magazines from home. But within the magazine pages, [they] had managed to smuggle copper etching plates to their son. And so Smith began what he referred to as his 'Thiepval etchings'." Incredibly, it is believed that Smith used steel gramophone needles, a common feature in the trenches, to mark his plates. [Imperial War Museum, "Percy Delf Smith: Making Art as a Soldier on the Western Front"]"Few men living handle the needle to such purpose, and with so sincere an object, as the author of the plates here published" [William Rothenstein, "Note" to Twelve Drypoints of the War 1914-1918, 1925]
Ziegler (J.C.), Circle of. A Visitor to John Bull for the Year 1799, or, The Assess'd Taxes taking their leave!!, an original watercolour, possibly the preliminary design, inscribed and initialled 'TR', and a good impression of the original print presently attributed to Ziegler, etching with hand-colouring, each sheet approx. 265 x 365 mm (10 3/4 x 14 3/8 in), both laid onto card supports, associated spotting, surface dirt, and pale discolouration to the watercolour, both unframed, the print published by William Holland, [BM Satires 9280], 1799; together with an impression of Willian Holland's 'The Bedfordshire Hannibal taking the oath of eternal enmity!!!', which appears to be to be in same hand, etching with hand-colouring, 300 x 390 mm (11 3/4 x 15 1/4 in), unframed, [BM 9191], 1798 (3)⁂ The original watercolour has signs of pencil under-drawing, and notable differences to the published print, suggesting it is possibly a preliminary study for the print, rather than a copy after. Andrew Edmunds had suggested a possible attribution to the author of the etching being Ziegler, however it is not known whether Andrew had seen the present watercolour bearing the initials 'TR'.

'Gartenmauer', Radierung auf Papier, 22 cm x 17,5 cm Plattenmaß, 30,5 cm x 24,5 cm Passepartoutinnenmaß, aus einer Auflage von 31 Exemplaren, signiert, 63 datiert, betitelt, partiell leicht stockfleckig, Literatur: Wvz. Ebner/Gabelmann 1049 RErich Heckel (1883 Döbeln - 1970 Radolfzell) (F)'Garden wall', etching on paper, 22 cm x 17,5 cm plate size, 30,5 cm x 24,5 cm mount inside, signed, 63 dated, titled, from an edition of 31 copies, partly a little bit stained, literature: Wvz. Ebner/Gabelmann 1049 R. Erich Heckel is regarded as one of the main representatives of German Expressionism. During his studies of architecture the artist began to paint autodidactically under the influence of Munch, van Gogh and the Fauves. With his fellow students Karl Schmidt-Rottluff and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Heckel founded the artists' group ''Die Brücke'' in 1905. Strong forms and equally strong colours formed his works at this time. However, they became increasingly milder. His graphic work includes woodcuts as well as etchings, such as that of the ''Garden Wall''. The structure of the individual wall stones can be seen on the printed plate, so the viewer is brought very close. The left margin of the sheet shows an open flower, the plants sprouting from the ground in the garden, and two small figures placed on the wall like toy figurines. In terms of scale, it seems to be inspired by the idea of Romanticism: the small human being juxtaposed with the great splendour of nature. Based on the date (1963), the print can be classified as one of the artist's late works and could well have been observed in the garden at home. Almost as if through the eyes of a child, who himself is hardly taller than a garden wall and lets the figures on the wall play in just cheerful, childlike fantasy.
